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.
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

- We run on AWS so you would have a working knowledge of the platform
- You understand the product life cycle, features, technical debt, QA, and supporting quality at speed.
- You will know when you need to push back, shielding the team from disruptions. You will provide a safe environment that helps to bring clarity.
- You will be more than happy to work in our environment - our core stack is Microservices Java backend, with a React/Typescript frontend.
- You will have found the love and passion for coaching people and developing a culture that enables teams to be their best.
- You will have the ability to work with a diverse range of individuals from different backgrounds and with different professional and personal needs.
- Your excellent written and verbal communication skills will enable you to manage stakeholders and communicate effectively across other groups.
- You will be leading by example - promoting Canva’s values, no-blame mentality, and inclusive culture.

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!
