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. We also have campuses in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. But you have the 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.

As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. This role will give you a flavour of the types of projects you'll work on when you start, though these may evolve over time.

Currently, this role is focused on:

1. Collaborating with a senior team of engineers to deliver high-quality, seamless developer environments.
2. Strategising, planning, and delivering fast iterative improvements to developer tooling capabilities.
3. Driving clarity in ambiguous situations and testing hypotheses about new ideas.
4. Collaborating with teams in DevX and Infra groups to ensure a cohesive end-to-end experience for every Canvanaut.
5. Working with stakeholders like Product Managers and Technical Project Managers to understand problems and drive initiatives forward.

• You possess strong Computer Engineering / Science fundamentals, including concurrency, multithreading, data structures, architecture, and design patterns.
• You have advanced coding proficiency in Python, Java, Golang, Rust, and strong Object-Oriented Programming fundamentals.
• You have experience improving developer tooling and environments at scale.
• You are passionate about reducing friction and cognitive load for engineers.
• You are comfortable navigating ambiguity and testing hypotheses.
• You write clean, maintainable code and work across the stack.
• You have excellent collaboration skills and enjoy working cross-functionally.
• You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are excited by Canva’s hypergrowth.
