About the Team
You'll be joining the Gateway team, Application Platform Group, which is responsible for the front line of our microservices. Gateway's work is based on three cornerstones: reliability, security, and scalability. We want to ensure that every request that hits Canva goes through the gateway components at ludicrous speeds and that the developers who work on the platform can be efficient and productive.
This role is based in our Sydney office. However, it is remote-friendly for applicants physically based anywhere in Australia or New Zealand.
What's in it for you?
Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a stack of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.
Here's a taste of what's on offer:
