Staff Engineer (Career / Xena)

We have a remote-first culture and this position can be based anywhere from Australia or New Zealand. This role can be fully remote or a hybrid if you are in Melbourne. We encourage you to work in the way that best suits you.

You’ll be joining a team working on our Performance product, helping companies create transformative people-first performance reviews that are easy to use and manage. All our teams are cross-functional and have the autonomy and responsibility for bringing features from conception all the way through to owning them in production, and you’ll be involved throughout that process. You’ll also have a large opportunity to help shape and impact the team’s processes and ways of working.
