Company Description

Job Description

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

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.

What you'll do

• Design, develop and deploy solutions to challenging problems, working closely with other engineers and product managers to deliver features for Internationalization and make a global impact
• Own the entire lifecycle of the code; design, development, test, maintenance, support, and subsequent fixes and improvements as required to support the product roadmap
• Work collaboratively and consult with Leads, Product Managers, and Engineers across Canva to unblock frontend work required for your group to achieve their goals
• Facilitate knowledge sharing and effectively advocate for engineering needs to non-technical stakeholders within the group
• Demonstrate initiative and ownership in achieving goals, improving processes and solutions
• Identify opportunities for cross-team collaboration to work on new ideas and improvements that help achieve our goals

What you bring

• Commercial experience in a software development environment, building scalable backend systems
• Most of our code is in Java, so you will be comfortable using Java.
• Firmly grounded computer science and engineering fundamentals including concurrency, multithreading, data structures, solution design, architecture, and design patterns
• Working collaboratively with team members and communicating optimally
• Good writing and verbal communication skills
• Experience in training, deploying or scaling machine learning models to production environments is a great plus
