Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Canva Full time
Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time-consuming, so we'll get straight to the point.

Where and how you can work

Our flagship campus is in Sydney, with additional campuses in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. You have the choice of where and how you work, whether in the office, at home, or a mix of both.

What you'd be doing in this role

As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. This role will focus on:

  • Defining the technical roadmap and architecture for the services powering our internal platforms for product decisioning, advocating for best practices that enhance service performance, resilience, and adaptability.
  • Establishing yourself as an expert in developing platforms that facilitate decision-making while being integrated with the company's data ecosystem.
  • Proposing innovative approaches and solutions to future-proof Canva's product decision platforms and deliver on business outcomes.
  • Engaging with others to shape improvements through writing design documents and running design meetings.
  • Designing and implementing intricate aspects of the system, effectively tackling complex technical challenges.
  • Guiding the implementation of major projects, planning task breakdown, and keeping engineers in sync using excellent communication skills, including architectural diagrams.
  • Providing guidance and mentorship to other engineers, assisting them in their professional development and navigating technical challenges.
  • Facilitating and orchestrating cross-team initiatives that set a higher standard for reliability, velocity, and security.

You're probably a match if you have:

  • Experience developing distributed web applications on the JVM, primarily using Java 17 (experience with other JVM languages such as Scala, Kotlin, etc. is a plus).
  • Experience with planning and executing architectural changes, with a creative and conceptual problem-solving approach.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills, both written and verbal.
  • Experience facilitating collaboration and fostering positive working relationships between stakeholders and engineers.
  • Experience guiding and mentoring other engineers, helping unblock technical challenges.
  • Deep knowledge of computer science fundamentals: concurrency, data structures, and distributed systems, along with resiliency techniques and patterns.
  • Experience working in large distributed cloud environments (ideally AWS), with knowledge of cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes and Terraform being a plus.
  • Experience working with large distributed data processing systems (e.g., Snowflake, Clickhouse), with knowledge of SQL and data modeling best practices being a plus.
  • Experience building AI-powered applications is a plus.

About the team

Product Insights Enablement (PIE) consists of 4 teams dedicated to creating reliable insight-as-a-service platforms that assist the entire company in planning and decision-making. Our diverse team of engineers, product managers, and product designers collaborates to provide capabilities such as user behavior analytics, experimentation (A/B testing), feature flags, and organizational metrics.

About the Role

This leadership position for the whole group requires a versatile staff software engineer responsible for shaping the vision of the platforms our teams build. You will partner with other engineers and product leads, including Data Scientists, Frontend Engineers, Product Managers, and Designers, to build impactful solutions.

What's in it for you?

Achieving our ambitious goals motivates us to work hard while enjoying moments of magic, connectivity, and fun at Canva. We offer a range of benefits to support your 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, and more.
  • Flexible leave options that empower you to recharge and support your personal needs.
