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—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:
• Maturing Canva’s self-service data infrastructure so that domain teams can deliver high-impact outcomes
• Building orchestration tooling with smart dependency logic and self-healing capabilities
• Implementing observability practices and monitoring systems for proactive detection and resolution
• Enhancing CI/CD pipelines and aligning them with Canva’s broader tooling ecosystem
• Shaping the roadmap for data platform services and advocating for AI integration
• Collaborating across teams to uplift engineering, hiring, and mentoring practices

You’re probably a match if:
• You’ve built and scaled robust data platforms in cloud environments (AWS, Kubernetes, Snowflake)
• You’re fluent in Python, Analytical SQL, and automation best practices
• You love solving performance and reliability challenges in large-scale systems
• You're proactive about observability, cost optimization, and performance monitoring
• You can think strategically, define roadmaps, and communicate technical decisions clearly
• You're collaborative and passionate about mentorship, engineering excellence, and empowering others

About the team
You’ll join the Warehouse Platform Team within the Data Platform Group in Canva’s Infra Supergroup. This team builds infrastructure and tools that simplify complex data workflows, empowering Canvanauts to work efficiently and at scale. We're all about making data infrastructure accessible, reliable, and innovative—enabling insights and decisions that move Canva forward.

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 support you personally
