Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

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

This year the Content Management & Distribution group is on a mission to inspire everyone to visually communicate and stay organised. Our group is doubling down on several critical initiatives to help us achieve our company-level strategy of driving teams and collaboration in Canva. Our goals focus on helping teams that use Canva to navigate, organise and find their designs as effectively as possible. This means that we build rich features into the Canva home page and for use in-context within the editor. We work closely with teams across the company, including search, education, growth, and platform. The features that our team build are core to the every day use of our over 100 million users and so performance and reliability are at the forefront of everything we do.

At the moment, you will be focused on:

  • Building out brand new experiences for supporting the storage of all asset types in Canva and evolving the existing experiences across Folders, Media, Video, Audio, Document and Search to add support for versioning, commenting, automation and more.
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams to understand requirements and designing scalable solutions.
  • Help the team to build and deliver great user experiences
  • Leading continuous improvement efforts within your team.
  • Troubleshooting and resolving technical issues related to the team’s domain as and when they arise, and being part of team’s rostered on call rotation.
  • Staying updated on industry trends and best practices to innovate and improve the domain owned by the team.

What we're looking for

  • You have experience working with the core frameworks in our frontend stack - JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, and TypeScript.
  • Are firmly grounding in computer science and engineering fundamentals including concurrency, multithreading, data structures, solution design, architecture, and design patterns.
  • Have a passion for great UX, storytelling and collaboration.
  • Have cross-browser knowledge as we are often driving changes that may have implications across many different browsers, devices, and modalities.
  • Are familiar with building out experiences on the back of a design system.
  • Have worked to build and ship impactful product and/or changes.
  • You consider performance in everything that you do, especially as it relates to a great product experience.

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 range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.

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
  • Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally
