Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Mahoney is a seasoned software engineering leader based in Wellington with over a decade of experience building and scaling high-performing development organizations. Currently Head of Development, Testing, and Security at The Co-operative Bank, he previously led engineering enablement at Xero where he drove quality engineering, continuous delivery, security automation, and an award-winning graduate program. He combines hands-on product and platform experience (from early Ruby/PHP projects through cloud migrations on AWS) with a knack for people development—many of his reports progressed from junior to senior and leadership roles. Joe is comfortable bridging product, design and go-to-market teams to shorten cycle times and improve eNPS, and he created lasting engineering templates, blueprints and educational programs. Not obviously public-facing, he cut his teeth shipping customer-facing features and platform migrations at scale during Xero’s hyper-growth phase, giving him rare empathy for both developers and operational constraints. He brings pragmatic leadership that balances technical depth, security and developer experience to accelerate delivery across complex organisations.
