**Canva’s Commitment and Mission**

**Ngā Manawanuitanga me ngā uaratanga o Canva**

At Canva, we celebrate diversity. We deeply believe that bringing together diversity of thoughts, perspectives and expression is key to building the best product, team and company. We look for many different skills and abilities, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. So, even if you don’t think you quite meet all of the skills listed or tick all the boxes, we’d still love to hear from you

Our mission at Canva is to empower the world to design and since launching in 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing over 86 million monthly active users across 190 different countries and a team of over 3,000 peopleand the best bit is that we’ve only achieved 1% of what we know we’re capable of.

Join us and design your future.

**About the UX Platform Group & Internationalisation team**:
Did you know that most of Canva’s users use Canva in a language other than English? In fact, Canva is available in 140 different languages (with hopefully a few more to add as we keep growing)

The UX Platform Group owns the tools that other developers need to make sure Canva’s UX keeps the magic alive for all users as we keep scaling - including the tools enabling continuous localization of our web app into different languages.

More specifically, the internationalisation team provide the tools for product engineers to provide the best UX for everyone, no matter where they are in the world and what language they are using. There’s a huge scope for the translations our tools handle, and it’s always growing and changing.

**About the role**:
As an engineer in the internationalisation team, you will work closely with product engineering teams to understand their needs and build solutions to best meet them. Our ecosystem spans platforms such as Git, build systems, CI systems, translation databases, and knowledge management systems.

**What you'll do**:
Maintain and update Java libraries used by other engineers to support internationalization at Canva
-Be an engineering advocate for translation systems within the broader infrastructure team
-Propose, deliver, and support (via FAQs, ad hoc support) new features as well as continued improvement (for example, expanding the internal translation API set to support more engineering teams)
-Help work towards a new storage design for translations that balances build-time performance with reliability and developer experience
-Participate in design meetings, interviews, and code reviews
-Advise on our LQA (linguistic quality assurance) process
-Propose innovative ways and solutions to ensure we future-proof Canva's distributed cloud infrastructure as we scale up
-Be excited about challenges with a scale and performance angle - be motivated by the idea of debugging, benchmarking, building awesome things, and picking up new technologies and skills as you grow

**Required skills and experience**:
Strong software engineering skills; ideally not constrained to a particular area of our stack but rather able to navigate it holistically
-Strong understanding of Computer Science/Engineering fundamentals and first principles covering: non-trivial system design, concurrency, multithreading, data structures, architecture, and various design patterns
-Advanced coding proficiency in Java, Python and Bash ; other OOP Development experience would also be huge bonus
-Ideally, some experience developing translation and localization systems in a prior role, so that you may effectively lead our localisation efforts from the engineering side, and draw on prior experience and industry best practices
-Experience working in Linux cloud-based services in AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure
-An understanding of the DevOps ecosystem concerning tooling, Continuous Delivery, Continuous Integration, Infrastructure as Code
