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 — we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

What you'd be doing in this role

As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. This role will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on, but expect it to evolve.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Leading a cross-functional backend and infrastructure team to build features that make Canva a truly localised experience

• Coaching and growing a skilled team of 6+ engineers, fostering a happy, healthy, high-performing culture

• Driving technical delivery and designing the product and technical roadmap for internationalisation systems

• Refining team processes to ensure effective and sustainable delivery

• Championing automation and AI, integrating them into workflows and technical solutions

• Collaborating with product and engineering teams across Canva to build scalable localisation and translation services

You're probably a match if


• You've managed and coached engineering teams, providing constructive feedback and supporting their growth

• You have experience leading technical delivery and driving impactful change, both through leadership and as an individual contributor

• You're familiar with backend and infrastructure engineering, and comfortable collaborating across specialities

• You're curious about AI's role in improving developer and design workflows

• You have strong knowledge of data structures, algorithms, and scalable software systems

About the team

The Internationalisation team owns critical infrastructure and services that power localisation and translation of Canva's language assets — both human and AI-driven. We work with product teams across search, templates, and marketplace to build capabilities that help Canva reach a global audience.

Our mission? To make it as easy to build for non-English as it is for English.

What's in it for you?

Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard — and we do — but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connection and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too.

We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for every success inside and outside of work:

• Equity packages — we want our success to be yours too

• Inclusive parental leave that supports all parents & carers

• An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance for wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more

• Flexible leave options that empower you to recharge and support your personal life
