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.

- Design and implement frontend components of internal tools used across multiple teams

- Building engineering tools and frameworks (especially reusable frontend components) that help us rapidly and reliably conduct front-end software development
- Facilitate knowledge sharing and effectively advocate for engineering needs
- Model initiative and ownership in achieving goals, e.g. learning and maximising the use of the Canva engineering landscape, technical systems, ways of working and delivering outcomes
- Contribute to defining, improving, and codifying best practices and methodologies for frontend engineering at Canva
- Craft and present engaging presentations to the frontend specialty
- Participate in design and code reviews
- Identify and address performance bottlenecks
- Improve test coverage
You're probably a match if
- At home working on our core FE stack; JavaScript, (React), HTML, CSS, & Typescript
- Practical knowledge of data structures and algorithms
- Ability to write clean reusable code for UI components, including appropriate testing
- A strong understanding of computer science and object-oriented engineering fundamentals as well as concurrency, multithreading, data structures, and design patterns
