  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills

During the first half of 2025, our team will focus on giving teachers compelling reasons why they should invite their students by launching new features that make learning more engaging in Canva, and increasing the visibility and utility of the features that already exist (e.g. our learning content, Courses/Lessons, interactive elements).

Joining our group presents an exciting opportunity to work on a core product directly impacting millions of users worldwide. If you are passionate about building scalable back-end solutions, have a strong desire to thrive in a collaborative and innovative environment, and are passionate about empowering every learner, we encourage you to apply.
