    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. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. But you have choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.

    What you'd be doing in this role

    As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

    • Building tools and frameworks that help us rapidly and reliably conduct experiments across different parts of the Canva app
    • Design, develop and deploy solutions and hands-on software development – working closely with leads, designers, and product managers to deliver features and experiments to our customers worldwide
    • Work collaboratively and consult with leads, product managers, and engineers across teams at Canva to unblock front-end works that help your group deliver features and experiments to our customers worldwide
    • Identifies opportunities for cross-team collaboration to work on new ideas and improvements that help achieving our goals
    • Designing public APIs, balancing good design, extensibility, ease of use & delivery, with versioning and migrations, and supporting old versions with deprecation periods
    • Adding public APIs on internal core features requires aligning closely with core Canva teams, ensuring underlying code and data structures are exposed correctly, allowing for real time multi-user collaboration, and without compromising future core feature development or architecture changes

    You're probably a match if

    • You will be at home working in our core technology environment - our core stack is JavaScript, HTML, CSS
    • Firmly grounded computer science and engineering fundamentals including concurrency, multithreading, data structures, solution design, architecture, and design patterns
    • Working collaboratively with team members and communicating effectively
    • Experience with TypeScript (or other typed languages), React, MobX (or other state management libraries), particularly using types on APIs to provide guard rails for developers
    • Interest in focusing on integration code
    • Experience designing easy to use APIs with versioning

    About the team

    With the proliferation of innovations in generative AI and as large organizations have increasingly complex workflows to manage their designs, Canva is well poised to become the platform that simplifies access and discovery of services related to visual design. We are already working with hundreds of developers to enable access to these exciting products with our Apps SDK and Canva public REST API

    As one of the teams in Ecosystem, the Developer Experience Platform team maintains the core infrastructure housing apps and making them, and all associated configuration, available to our clients. Our clients range from the app listings as a part of our various marketplaces to the app sandbox that runs developer code on the FE.

    But don't just take our word for it, check out what Software Engineer - Abbie Wade has to say about working in Engineering at Canva -

    "The challenges that I am solving do not have a known solution, which means I get to create and innovate each day."

    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.
