- Conduct and organize reliability experiments to identify possible scenarios in which failures might occur and verify the reliability measures
- Design and build services and tooling that help ensure each of Canva's microservices are working optimally and are resilient to failures
- Have a widespread impact across the organization by facilitating and spearheading cross-team initiatives that raise the bar for reliability, velocity and security
- A deep investigation into production incidents followed up by applying the learning to code
- Researching, developing, and justifying the best choices in the form of design docs for features that will shape the future of Canva
- Identifying and addressing performance bottlenecks within the application and broader infrastructure
- Propose new approaches and solutions to ensure we future-proof Canva's distributed cloud infrastructure as we scale. Participating in design meetings, hiring interviews, and code reviews
- Three-plus (3+) years of commercial experience developing complex applications in Java; experience with other languages such as Kotlin, TypeScript etc is a big plus but it's not necessary.
- Extensive experience in developing clean, readable, and maintainable code; The tools developed by the team are used by hundreds of developers at Canva so they need to be easily understandable.
- Experience with developing or maintaining libraries, frameworks or tools would be a big plus but is not necessary.
- Familiar with asynchronous or reactive programming techniques and associated patterns; At our scale, writing blocking code is often not an option
- Comfortable with computer science and engineering fundamentals: concurrency, data structures, and distributed systems
- Experience working in large distributed cloud environments (ideally AWS)
- Disciplined coding practices, experience with code reviews and pull requests, and a creative and conceptual problem-solving approach
- Strong communication and team collaboration skills, both written and verbal. A Canva engineer strives to understand the exact problem before jumping into writing code - look before you leap
- An understanding of resiliency techniques and patterns - load balancing, throttling, back pressure, circuit breaking, etc; For Canva, reliability is a feature, and the Core Libraries and broader infrastructure teams aim to provide the best tools possible to the application engineers to ensure that Canva stays available at all times.
- Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too
- Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
