Job Details

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 choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you. 

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 effective and efficient iOS components to enhance mobile platform support
  • Leverage technical solutions both mobile and frontend, and establish mature connection with frontend teams to maximise the adoption of new mobile features
  • Engage in technical and product design discussions with the team, setup and execute strategic plans to resolve real-world problems
  • Contribute to defining, improving, and codifying best practices and methodologies for mobile engineering at Canva
  • Rally knowledge sharing across mobile teams, supporting less experienced engineers to growth

You're probably a match if

  • You have strong foundations in computer science and software engineering practices
  • You know how to leverage iOS native technologies and modern architectures to solve the most challenging problems
  • You have proven expertise in modern iOS development including deep understanding of Swift language, concurrency and reactive programming
  • You have good knowledge of frontend development using React and TypeScript, previous exposure to hybrid technologies a plus but not essential
  • You can navigate through ambiguities and come up with best technical solutions independently
  • You exemplify both attention to detail and strategic thinking by using your experience and best practices to develop code that is reusable and testable

About the team

The Cross-Platform team at Canva is responsible for ensuring that Canva's frontend runs seamlessly across various platforms, particularly iOS and Android. We own an in-house framework to manage web/mobile interaction using Swift, React, TypesScript etc, making sure Canva frontend can utilise native mobile features with ease. This includes tasks such as enabling frontend/mobile communication, maintaining backward compatibility, ensuring smooth navigation, and conducting cross-platform testing.

We play a critical role in Canva’s mobile products as we’re empowered to make Canva accessible and functional across different platforms, ensuring a consistent user experience.

About the Role

You’ll get hands-on experience writing reusable code and technical documentation to build the platform supporting intuitive user experiences on iOS. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced engineer who knows how to communicate well within a cross-functional team and rally mobile first thinking across Canva.

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 stack 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
