Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Canva Full time

About the role The Ecosystem group contributes to Canva's growth towards 1 billion users by creating an abundant ecosystem that is tailored to the diverse needs of our users across all demographics.
As Canva continues to play a larger role in organisations with larger teams, we must 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

The Ecosystem strategy involves three priorities: Build and scale the Canva API to enable deep integrations into (and outside of) Canva's editor product.Create a truly delightful experience for our developers and their customers.Building high-quality integrations with strategic partners to benefit Canva's users.Part of the Ecosystem Group strategy is to invest in: Building integrations with enterprise tools and SaaS software so that our customers have seamless access to Canva within their day-to-day tools and workflows.Building apps on Canva so our users can access the tools they need to design from within Canva.Examples of these strategic apps and integrations include Google Drive, Slack, Microsoft Teams and many more.
The Integrations at Scale teams play a vital role in the Ecosystem strategy by working closely with internal and external stakeholders to build a suite of API capabilities and integrations using backend REST APIs (aka Connect API) that meet Canva's engineering best practices.
The team is also responsible for maintaining an existing suite of APIs that are widely used by Enterprise customers.

Some of the engineering challenges the team will face include: Designing REST APIs for internal and external usage by enterprise partners that provide a consistent experience.Working with the Partner Apps and Integrations team to support the creation of 1P and 2P applications and integrations that use the Connect API.Working with Enterprise partners to refine existing and develop new Connect API capabilities.Additionally, the team will also be collaborating with cross-functional teams on roadmap goals and milestones and be working closely with our enterprise partners with their integrations.
