Xero Company Growth, Stability & Outlook
Xero Employee Perspectives
Xero continues to invest in the long-term evolution of its platform, modernizing core infrastructure while building a foundation that supports future innovation and growth. By thoughtfully modernizing systems developed over decades, the company is positioning itself to scale efficiently and enable teams to deliver the next generation of products.
“We have a series of large multi-tenant databases and millions of lines of code developed over 20 years. I’m excited to use AI judiciously to aggressively break up the monolith and build a proper Platform API layer. Our goal is to ensure every team doesn't have to worry about core ledger schemas—they should just have a clean API to build the next generation of products.”
