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 a choice in where and how you work, at a hub or remote, 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:

• Your day-to-day activities will consist of solution design and hands-on software development – working closely with leads, designers, and product managers to deliver features and functionality to our customers all over the world.
• Developing and iterating on technical proposals – outlining how solutions will be structured and developed.
• Developing solutions you’ve designed with engineering leads and product stakeholders from the ground up through to deployment into production.
• Identifying and addressing performance bottlenecks within the application and broader infrastructure.
• Participating in design meetings, hiring interviews, and code reviews.

You're probably a match if

• You have 3+ years of commercial experience developing complex, distributed applications and writing services in Java.
• You have disciplined coding practices, and experience with code reviews and pull requests. You model best practices to your peers.
• You have strong communication and team collaboration skills, both written and verbal. A Canva engineer strives to understand the exact problem before jumping into writing code.
• You will have the ability to work with a diverse range of individuals from different backgrounds and with different professional and personal needs.

About the team

The Ecosystem group contributes to Canva’s growth towards 1 billion users by creating an abundant ecosystem that tailors to the diverse needs of our users across all demographics. As Canva continues to play a larger role in organisations with larger teams it is essential that we continue building an ecosystem that supports integrations with 3rd party tools/apps/services. We are introducing a public REST API for Canva to serve third-party developers and support integrations with enterprises and SaaS software!

The Integrations at Scale teams play a vital role in the Ecosystem strategy by working closely with internal and external stakeholders to build a suite of API capabilities and integrations using backend REST APIs (aka Connect API) that meet Canva’s engineering best practices.
The team is also responsible for maintaining an existing suite of APIs that are widely used by Enterprise customers.
