• Join the team redefining how the world experiences design. • The Production Engineering team sits at the intersection of software engineering and the hardest reliability problems in Canva's infrastructure. • Writing software. Changing how production behaves. When it works, every team ships with more confidence and Canva gets faster and more resilient for the people who use it every day. • The strategic bet is a different model entirely. Canva's own take on what production reliability looks like, built for how we work. • Not operationalising systems. Not running alerts. Writing software that changes how production behaves. • Leading the hardest engagements: Taking personal ownership of the most technically complex areas, sharding, multi-region architecture, JVM performance at scale, while the team builds depth in adjacent domains. • Setting the technical bar: What it means to be a production engineer at Canva. The standard for technical credibility. The archetype that future hiring calibrates against. • Pairing strategy across the team: Deciding how staff and mid-level engineers are paired and what they should be learning from each engagement. • Building the measurement story: Incident severity and duration trending down. Feature launches going to production cleanly. You define what the metrics are and how they're tracked.
• Owning an engagement area: Taking long-term accountability for one of Canva's highest-risk technical domains • Writing production software: The work is code, not process • Instrumenting, refactoring, rebuilding the pieces that cause problems at scale • You're a software engineer first; the reliability outcome at scale is what you're optimising for • Opportunity to pair, mentor and learn from fellow production engineers • Striving for fewer incidents, faster recovery, lower severity, latency that bends in the right direction • Taking pride in moving needle metrics, that positively impacts the quality of the customer experience
