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.
What you’d be doing in this role
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.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
- You’ll be working closely with designers to create world-class support experiences.
- You’ll collaborate with the team (FE, BE, Data, ML, product and design) and others outside the team to create holistic product solutions.
- You’ll build efficient and reusable front-end abstractions and systems.
- You’ll participate in design and code reviews.
- You’ll help identify and communicate standard practices and methodologies for frontend engineering.
- You’ll create design docs to align on high level/architectural solutions.
- You’ll empower other engineers, which is one of our team’s core values.
You're probably a match if
- You are technically versatile, with diverse experience in frontend tech stacks
- You have experience with TypeScript (or other typed languages), React, MobX (or other state management libraries), particularly using types on APIs to provide guard rails for developers
- Experience working in an Agile (Scrum) team
- You have a flexible and creative view of building delightful user experiences
- You have experience coaching / guiding other engineers and acting as a mentor.
- You’re excited about what AI can bring to the table and are ready to work closely with our machine learning engineers to fine tune how we create innovative support experiences.
- You're also excited by the opportunity to contribute to a rapidly growing and critical function of Canva and recognize the impact that can come from improving the help experience for millions of people around the world.
- You’ve got a good balance between big-picture thinking and nailing the details.
- You like to move quickly, and aren’t afraid of fast growth and rapid change. Canva is growing faster than you can imagine – which means solutions that worked 6 months ago might break. You’re up for that challenge.
