Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

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

The buzzing Canva London campus features several buildings around beautiful leafy Hoxton Square in Shoreditch. While our global headquarters is in Sydney, Australia, London is our HQ for Europe, with all kinds of teams based here, plus event spaces to gather our team and communities. You'll experience a warm welcome from our Vibe team at front of house, amazing home cooked food from our Head Chef, Shay, and a variety of workspaces to hang out with your team mates or get solo work done. That said, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals and so you have choice in where and how you work.

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:

  • Developing new features that help users find and shape data to be visualized.
  • Work closely with ML & BE engineers on the same team to create magical experiences.
  • Contribute to the evolving frontend stack as part of a highly functional and passionate team.
  • Participate in software design sessions and PR reviews.
  • Help set up and monitor goals and milestones and contribute to the product roadmap planning.

You're probably a match if

  • You have extensive experience in designing and building commercial web applications while leading and owning key projects.
  • You have experience working with HTML, CSS, JS, React, Typescript, and functional reactive programming patterns such as MobX and RxJS.
  • You have a solid understanding of the underlying data transformation algorithms used by libraries such as Pandas, and Vega.
  • You bring an interest in building high-performance front-end code using all the modern techniques available.
  • You are interested in mentoring and coaching more junior engineers on the team.
  • You have the ability to communicate effectively with non-technical stakeholders.


About the team

At Canva we believe data visualisation is a critical visual communication tool for working professionals, small business owners, students and educators alike. That’s why the Data Visualisation group is on a mission to create powerful yet extremely easy-to-use tools that make it a snap to create beautiful charts, graphs, diagrams and infographics that tell meaningful stories.

Our mission in the Data Workflows team? Making complex data simple. To take data from various sources and shape it into a story that can be brought to life visually. This isn't just about having data, but about transforming the data and creating a narrative with it, using visualisations from a library curated by our sibling team Charts.

AI and machine learning have the potential to greatly increase the accessibility of data visualisation techniques to data-shy users, and creative applications of visual and natural language-based AI will allow our advanced users to create data visualisations from their complex data that were inconceivable just a few years ago. You’ll help us expand our exciting developments in this space (informed by the acquisition of leading dataviz company Flourish) while also exploring new related areas.

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
