Role Description What You'd Be Doing in This Role: - Owning and evolving the core systems that let engineering teams across Canva talk to each other's services, route traffic safely, and build in the languages that suit their work. - Designing and building the core infrastructure that connects services across Canva's backend engineering org. - Leading a major migration of how our backend services communicate, working closely with partner engineering teams & leaders. - Driving support for more languages and frameworks so more teams can build natively on our platform. - Owning the reliability, performance and correctness of systems that sit in the critical path for the whole engineering org. - Mentoring engineers and helping raise the technical bar across the team. Qualifications - You've built and operated infrastructure that other engineering teams depend on, ideally something in the API gateway, RPC, or service mesh space (high traffic & large-scale). - You're comfortable owning systems where reliability and correctness really matter, and you think in trade-offs rather than quick fixes. - You can drive a technical direction across teams that don't report to you, and communicate it clearly to both engineers and the teams who consume what you build. - You take genuine ownership of outcomes, and you're motivated by platform work that quietly makes everyone else's job easier. 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. - Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally. Other Information We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. When you apply, please tell us the pronouns you use and any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process. All interviews are conducted virtually. Recruitment type: Permanent.
