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:

  • Building the Release Platform, Canva’s next-gen change orchestration system
  • Migrating components currently released via legacy pipelines and processes to the Release Platform
  • Expanding the Release Platform’s capabilities to support new component types, and new functionality such as custom orchestration, custom deployers, release creation UIs, new notification types and more
  • Ensuring feature parity exists within the Release Platform regardless of component type or the language which the component has been written in
  • Providing service desk support and on-call support for the Release Platform on a rostered basis
  • Collaborating with other teams with Infra to provide a well-integrated platform offering to other engineers at Canva

You're probably a match if

  • You have advanced coding proficiency in Python and strong Computer Science and OOP fundamentals
  • You have strong experience as a Software Engineer in a cloud ecosystem
  • You have a strong grasp of DevOps best practices
  • You have experience with container images, Docker, and container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes
  • You have experience working in a modern distributed microservices environment hosted on AWS
  • You have experience working with infrastructure as code and CI/CD
  • You have an understanding of cloud security best practices
  • You have experience utilizing service offerings such as IAM, VPC, EC2, S3 and RDS within AWS would be desirable, but not required.
  • You have the ability to guide and mentor other members within the team and improve the way we collaborate, learn, and share ideas

About the team

You’ll be joining the Release Engineering team's primary mission to provide easy ways for Canva engineers to release their components to the Cloud safely and efficiently. We provide tooling, dashboards, pipelines, and processes that manage the entire Canva product's deployment process. This includes the deployment of backend microservices, frontend web pages, and various other pieces of cloud infrastructure.

We write engineer-facing tooling to perform common deployment related operations, assist in the various deployment operations that occur on a regular basis, give visibility over the status of deployments, and provide safety mechanisms to ensure that bad deployments do not make it into production.

This team falls under the Cloud Platform Group who own Canva’s cloud infrastructure, which ensures the safe, secure and reliable operation of canva.com. We also provide key support for critical internal workflows. The group’s mission is “To reduce the complexity burden of using the Cloud”, which we achieve through a combination of the tooling and services we provide, our robust standards, comprehensive developer documentation library and a team of experts who love a good challenge.

Our platforms support engineers across the company to provision and configure Cloud resources, as well as to manage release, runtime and operational workflows. We do all this in the simplest and most secure way possible. What we create will free engineers from having to worry about what goes on under the hood, allowing them to produce their best work. We are the stewards of a seamless, scalable ecosystem that’s extensible, easy to use, and backed by uncompromising security.

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
