Senior Software Engineer - Networking Team (open to remote across ANZ)

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. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.

What you’d be doing in this role

The Networking team is tasked with building on Canva’s core Kubernetes platform to provide platform capabilities to empower engineers to safely define and manage their services’ communication across a service mesh and their configuration. We aim to hide the complexity of configuring a secure, authenticated, and observable service mesh between services behind a simple self-serve platform API.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Coding in Golang to build and deploy products that run across multiple Kubernetes clusters
• Be on-call for the team’s products and drive operational excellence
• Execute on complex tasks autonomously and effectively communicate your progress with stakeholders.

You're probably a match if

• You have strong Computer Engineering / Science knowledge around fundamentals and first principles relating to concurrency, multithreading, data structures, architecture, and various design patterns
• You have experience with building and operating a service mesh at scale across many Kubernetes clusters.
• You have advanced skills in software and network engineering.
• Experience with Golang (interview can be Golang, Python, or Java)
• Experience in Cloud Networking in providers like AWS, GCP, or Azure
• You have experience in deploying and operating a Service Mesh in Kubernetes
• You have a working understanding of Kubernetes and Kubernetes networking.
• Understanding of CNI, Ingress, and Multi-Cluster networking
• Understanding of networking protocols e.g. IP, DNS, TLS, and mTLS.
• You have experience working with cloud infrastructure platforms to create a foundation for building secure, reliable, and performant systems.
• Experience with Kubernetes controllers and reconcile loop architecture
• Knowledge of web application architecture in the context of cloud providers.
• Experience using manifest generation tools, like Helm or Jsonnet, to manage cloud infrastructure.
• You have experience as a software engineer building platform products to accelerate and empower engineers to achieve crazy big goals.

About the team

The Networking team is responsible for workload identity, application networking, connectivity, VPCs, and internal PKI. The team is part of the Core Infrastructure Group, which is made up of approximately 80 Software Engineers, and their goal is to enable the safe, secure, and reliable operation of canva.com and internal workloads. Core Infrastructure’s mission is to reduce the complexity of using the Cloud (we use AWS and GCP) so that engineers can focus on their own domains. We build products to support engineers across the company to easily provision and configure Cloud resources, and release, run and operate workloads. And our goal is to ensure it's all done in the simplest and most secure way possible.

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 stack 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
