Job description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hiya, 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

The buzzing Canva London campus features several buildings around beautiful leafy Hoxton Square in Shoreditch. While our global headquarters is in Sydney, Australia, London is our HQ for Europe, with all kinds of teams based here, plus event spaces to gather our team and communities. You'll experience a warm welcome from our Vibe team at front of house, amazing home cooked food from our Head Chef and a variety of workspaces to hang out with your team mates or get solo work done. That said, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals and so you have choice in where and how you work.

What you’d be doing in this role

As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. This role is focused on:

• Building ML models for AI-based photo editing, including staying up-to-date with the literature and evaluating state-of-the-art models applicable for commercial use.
• Taking over project ownership responsibilities and driving projects with specialties like Frontend and Backend to success, including ownership of project timeline and collaboration with Design and Product.
• Staying up-to-date with recent advances in AI for photo editing and bringing new ideas to the team for new AI-based features.
• Improving the quality of existing features through quality evaluation processes and new ML ideas.
• Boosting the efficiency of existing features through code optimization and re-evaluating our full stack.
• Collecting data needed for model training or delegating that to the Data Labelling team.

You're probably a match if

• You have a Master's (ideally Ph.D.) degree in Computer Science (or similar), focusing on machine learning & published papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
• You have a solid understanding of computer vision, especially concepts like convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformers, generative adversarial networks, and diffusion models.
• You are proficient with deep learning frameworks (Pytorch preferred, alternatively Tensorflow or JAX), Python 3, Numpy, OpenCV, Docker & Kubernetes.
• You can quickly learn about the state-of-the-art of a specific ML topic through literature research and communication.
• You have experience in deploying models on cloud platforms to efficiently serve millions of users.
• You demonstrate ownership and are eager to develop novel solutions to challenging problems.
• You are an excellent communicator and teammate, keen to brainstorm ideas together.
