Job Details

Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hey, hello, hiya, 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.

  • Finding solutions to accommodate our cloud security and compliance requirements, and provide better insights to our engineers.
  • Proactively improving the user experience with compliance and advocating for best practices.
  • Being responsible for building and improving our secrets platform and tooling with exceptional quality, at a regular cadence, that impacts all Canva engineers.
  • Providing technical leadership and expertise to drive pragmatic solutions and dive into impactful design decisions.
  • Participating in team ceremonies, knowledge sharing, brainstorming sessions etc.
  • Becoming a security champion, evangelising the best practices and guiding other Canvanauts in the cloud security space.
  • Providing on-call support as part of a rotation with the team.

You're probably a match if

  • You are proficient and happy to code in Golang (preferred), Python, Java or comparable languages
  • You have deep knowledge and understanding of Computer Engineering fundamentals and first principles.
  • A solid understanding of security best practices and compliance management in cloud environments
  • You are proficient with infrastructure-as-code. We’re a Terraform shop, but strong experience with other IaC tools will do the trick.
  • You have solid knowledge of AWS services like EKS, EC2, Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS, S3 or equivalent Cloud provider experience.
  • You have experience with cloud security tooling – having competency with AWS IAM, and tools like Hashicorp Vault and other cloud security and compliance vendors.
  • You have experience building platforms offering security capabilities to the rest of the business.
  • You have strong written and verbal communication skills

It’s nice to have the following experience as well.

  • Experience working with Kubernetes (preferred) or similar container orchestration tools
  • Experience working with Bazel (preferred) or similar large-scale build tools

We achieve this by combining industry-leading third-party solutions with our own in-house developed solutions, deployed across our entire Cloud environment. As we scale, all of these areas require more sophisticated solutions to ensure that Canva’s engineers continue to adopt the cloud without compromising on security or efficiency.
