Company Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Servus, hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!

Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.

Where and how you can work

Our flagship campus is in Sydney, Australia but Austria is home to part of our European operations. And you have choice in where and how you work, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

Fun fact, a big part of our Austrian operations is developing the AI product within Canva to help reimagine how artificial intelligence can be used in design. Pretty cool ha!

Job Description

At Canva, our mission is to empower the world to design. To get cutting-edge research into the hands of millions of users faster, we’re looking for a Frontend Engineer focused on research enablement (internal tooling) and productionisation. The team turns promising experiments into stable, scalable, user-facing capabilities and supports ML researchers with evaluating bleeding-edge models.

About the role:

You’ll be the bridge between research and production. Partnering closely with researchers, and stakeholders across our Gen AI group, you’ll ensure experimental code is production ready, build internal apps and services, and create the tooling and processes that let multiple model variants ship safely and quickly. Your work shortens the research-to-user loop, reduces duplication, and ensures our ML features are reliable, observable, and easy for other teams to adopt.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Collaborate closely with stakeholders, designers, and cross-functional teams to create innovative and user-friendly solutions

• Design, develop, and maintain high-performance, scalable, and reusable front-end components and systems

• Identify and implement best practices and methodologies for front-end engineering

• Help foster a culture of continuous learning and improvement

• Participate in code reviews, ensuring adherence to coding standards and best practices

• Stay up-to-date with the latest front-end technologies, trends, and industry advancements

• Contribute to the overall architecture and design of front-end systems, ensuring maintainability and extensibility

You're probably a match if you have:

• Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and state management libraries (e.g., MobX)

• Experience with back-end technologies such as Node.js or Java

• Expertise in writing performant, reusable code for UI components, including appropriate testing

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills

• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment, taking ownership of projects and outcomes

• Experience with big-picture thinking and attention to detail

• Passion for creating exceptional user experiences

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
