Company 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.

About the role

Video is a complex technical problem that requires multiple parts of the software system to work seamlessly to deliver a smooth video editing, playback and export experience to users. The Video Export team works across multiple layers of the tech stack to ensure smooth functioning of the system.

We are looking for someone who can work with the complexity brought about by multiple moving parts of the Canva machinery and the inherently nuanced video domain.

As a software engineer, you’ll work across our tech stack to enable a highly responsive and reliable video delivery product. Working alongside a skilled unit of engineers in the team and in partner teams, you’ll dive into cutting-edge technologies like WASM, TypeScript, and potentially Rust to solve complex problems.

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.

You're probably a match if you have:

  • Experience in full-stack software development with a strong emphasis on front-end technologies, including JavaScript, Typescript, WebAssembly.
  • Understanding of backend development and systems engineering, including building and maintaining scalable infrastructure on AWS.
  • Knowledge or experience working with video and graphics technologies is highly advantageous - webGL, codecs, web video, or game development.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to break large projects down into smaller ones and deliver on them as a member of a team.
  • Good written and verbal communication skills.

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
