Job Description
Principal Solution Engineer, Ecosystem
Canva
• Drive decisions and alignment across Partners and Canva engineering. • Set technical direction for Canva's external platform surface. • Ground partner conversations in working code. • Drive product-line engineering across our external platform surfaces. • Carry the platform direction outward early. • Shape strategic partner and customer engagements.
Job Requirements
- 10+ years of software engineering experience, with several of those in roles operating at the seam between partner engineering, platform engineering, and product.
- You've built developer platforms, not just evangelised them.
- You've shipped code in production on platforms used by external developers.
- You move fluidly between a product roadmap conversation, a system design discussion, and a partner negotiation, and you bring each one forward.
- You bring a prototype or sample code to a hard conversation.
- You don't oversell what's doable, and you don't overbuild what isn't needed.
- You're technically deep on the modern AI platform stack.
- You have real opinions on MCP, tool-use, agentic API design, and the tradeoffs between them.
- You communicate directly. You resolve misalignments by writing clearly.
- You've worked inside product stacks that are heterogeneous and move fast.
- You know how to orient yourself quickly in a codebase you didn't write.
- You raise the technical bar across Ecosystem engineering by sharing knowledge, feedback and bringing others into partner facing wins.
- Hands-on experience shipping or integrating with MCP (Anthropic, OpenAI, Copilot, or Gemini flavours).
- Strong TypeScript, comfortable across front-end (React) and server-side JavaScript, and the ability to read a Java backend even if you don't want to write one.
- A track record of turning ambiguous partner signal into crisp engineering decisions that Product and Engineering acted on.
Benefits
- Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too
- Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
- An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
