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

Frontend roles at Canva can vary a lot from team to team—each offering its own unique challenges and opportunities. You might be crafting rich, interactive experiences in the Canva Editor used by millions, or shaping end-to-end journeys on surfaces like Canva Docs, Presentations, and Websites.
