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 a 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.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

  • You’ll design and implement high-quality, scalable frontend solutions that improve user experiences and drive the adoption of Canva’s Education offering. This includes translating complex product requirements into robust architectures, writing high-quality code, collaborating with engineers across teams, and ensuring seamless deployment and operation in production environments.
  • You’ll work closely with leads, designers, and product managers to deliver features and experiments to our customers worldwide
  • You’ll take ownership of technical initiatives, contribute to strategic technical decisions, and champion the adoption of best practices and new technologies.
  • You’ll participate in design and code reviews.
  • You’ll create Design Docs to align on high level/architectural solutions before proceeding to implementation
  • You’ll be mentoring and empowering other engineers which is one of our team’s core values.

You're probably a match if

  • Advanced Proficiency in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and state management libraries (e.g., MobX)
  • You have the ability to write performant, reusable code for UI components, including appropriate testing
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
  • You have firmly grounded computer science and engineering fundamentals including concurrency, multithreading, data structures, solution design, architecture, and design patterns
  • You enjoy working collaboratively with team members and communicating effectively


About the team

Our group mission is to ignite creativity in every learner by being fun and accessible, saving teachers and course creators time, and looking after every learner, whether in school, on campus, or in the workplace. We want to continue evolving Canva into a best-in-class learning tool, so we have a sticky product with better retention. 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.

What's in it for you?

Here's a taste of what's on offer:

  • Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too
  • Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
  • An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
