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 co-working space in Brisbane and Adelaide. But you have a 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.

Job Description

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.

• Communicating effectively with Product Managers and Engineers across Canva when developing a solution; seeking and incorporating diverse perspectives to address complex issues
• Facilitating knowledge sharing and effectively advocating for engineering needs to non-technical stakeholders within the group.
• Modelling initiatives and ownership in achieving goals, improving processes and solutions whilst identifying opportunities for cross-team collaboration to work on new ideas and improvements that help achieve our goals.

You're probably a match if

• You can work within our core technology environment - our core stack is Java backed by both relational and NoSQL databases. 
• You have firmly grounded Computer Science and Engineering fundamentals including concurrency, multithreading, data structures, solution design, architecture, and design patterns
• You enjoy working collaboratively with team members and communicating effectively
• You can write performant, scalable reusable components, including appropriate testing

Nice to haves
