About the Team
The History & Notes team has a challenging problem to solve; how to ingest, store and serve Activity History for all of Xero’s users. With Xero’s massive growth over the last 10 years, you can imagine that it is a big problem to solve! To ensure that what we build, will be used, will be loved, and will meet our mission, we follow a "Lean Startup" mindset. We aim to discover as quickly as possible whether something will fail, or flourish, through rapid delivery and experimentation. We are a collaborative team that supports each other, and the teams around us. We are human, and we never take ourselves too seriously. We value quality and passionately care about our customers.
