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.

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, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

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.

About the group/team

 

The Security Group is responsible for protecting Canva systems and data from information security threats. The group runs programs across Identity and Access Management, Application Security, Risk Management, Enterprise Security, and Threat Detection and Response domains. Our teams work together, and with other groups, to deliver preventive and detective controls and processes that reduce security risk. Security Platform Engineering (SPE) is a new team to develop, and drive adoption of high security consequence features into Canva’s platforms for all engineers at Canva to leverage.

The Security Platform Engineering team takes charge for solving security-specific problems, using security domain expertise to unblock engineering to work on Canva-differentiating features. Our vision is to empower every engineer to build secure code with ease, through establishing a suite of paved roads for engineers to consume.

Role Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement security platform features that enable Canva’s teams to move safely and quickly
  • Owning the full lifecycle of features, from design docs and stakeholder alignment through implementation, testing, rollout, and maintenance

  • Model initiative and ownership in achieving goals, improving processes and solutions
  • Identify opportunities for cross-team collaboration to work on new ideas and improvements that help achieve our goals
  • Champion adoption of security platform features across Canva’s engineering teams

Required Experience:

  • You have (3-5+ years) of experience in one or more programming languages (Java/ Rust), and can directly contribute to the design and implementation of features
  • This is the ideal role for someone who is motivated by designing and building platform features within the security domain, while owning the whole solution end-to-end

  • You have extensive experience in developing clean, readable, and maintainable code; The libraries and tools developed by the team are used by hundreds of developers at Canva so they need to be easily understandable
  • You are comfortable with computer science and engineering fundamentals such as concurrency and data structures

  • Experience improving testing frameworks and strategies, e.g. unit testing, system testing, and integration testing

Nice to have:

  • Experience in a security domain (application sandboxing, encryption, authN/Z, etc) is a plus
  • Experience with infrastructure tools like Terraform, Helm, K8s, or similar
  • Experience with Linux security fundamentals such as cgroups, namespaces, seccomp, etc
  • Experience securing or building on on cloud-based environments (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure)
