Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Servus, 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, Australia but Austria is home to part of our European operations. And 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.

Fun fact, a big part of our Austrian operations is developing the AI product within Canva to help reimagine how artificial intelligence can be used in design. Pretty cool ha!

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.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

  • Build ML models for AI-based photo editing. This also heavily involves staying up-to-date with the literature and evaluating state-of-the-art models that are applicable for commercial use.
  • Take over project ownership responsibilities and drive projects with specialties like Frontend and Backend to success. This involves ownership of project timeline, and collaboration with Design and Product to achieve the best fitting product for Canva.
  • Stay up-to-date with the very recent advances of AI for photo editing, and you bring new ideas to the team for new AI-based features that our team should build
  • Improve the quality of our existing features, by improving our quality evaluation processes and by bringing new ML ideas to the team
  • Boost the efficiency of our existing features through code optimization, incorporating new models or Python libraries, or by re-evaluating and speeding up our full stack.
  • Collect data that we need for model training or model evaluation or you delegate that to the Data Labelling team.

You're probably a match if

  • You have a strong foundation in Computer Science, focusing on machine learning & ideally published papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
  • You have a solid understanding of computer vision, especially the concepts of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformers, generative adversarial networks, and diffusion models.
  • You are proficient with: Deep learning frameworks (Pytorch gives bonus points, alternatively other frameworks like Tensorflow or JAX), Python 3, Numpy, OpenCV, Docker & Kubernetes.
  • You are able to pick up knowledge of the state-of-the-art of a specific ML topic quickly since most projects start with a phase of literature research and communicating the context to the team (across timezones).
  • You have a deep understanding of machine learning at scale, including training sophisticated models on big datasets. You’re experienced in deploying these models on cloud platforms to efficiently serve millions of users.
  • You have a demonstrable sense of ownership and are eager to find and develop novel solutions to challenging problems, such as developing ML models for processing large images in a memory-efficient and runtime-efficient manner.
  • You are an excellent communicator and teammate, keen to work with your colleagues and brainstorm ideas together.

When applying, please describe your experience and achievements in product development, highlighting aspects you find most engaging. Additionally, explain why you are interested in applying to Canva and this specific position.
