<div> <b style="font-size:32px;">Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.</b> </div><div> <br> <div>Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora,你好, hallo, vítejte!</div> <div> <br> <div>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.</div> <div> <br> <div> <br> <div> <b> <span style="font-size:32px;">Where and how you can work</span> </b> </div> <div>Our flagship campus is in Sydney, Australia but in Aotearoa, we have a hub in Auckland that we call home to our local operations. And with that, you have choice in how and where you work. That means if you want to do your thing at our Auckland hub (if you're nearby) or at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.</div> <div> <br> <div> <br> <div> <b style="font-size:32px;">What you’d be doing in this role</b> </div> <div> <br> <div> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;">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. </span> </div> <div> <br> <div> <span style="font-size:14.6667px;">At the moment, this role is focused on:</span> </div> <div> <br> <div>About the Team</div> <div> <br> <div> <span style="font-size:14.67px;">Performance is important to us at Canva. We want to be the fastest graphical design tool in the world. The Performance Platform group is set to achieve this mission. We tackle the culture of building performance in multiple areas: we make it easy to measure and analyse performance issues, we improve our architecture to make performance easy to achieve, and we build robust patterns to allow building features with performance by default.</span> </div> <div> <br> <div> <span style="font-size:14.67px;">The Performance Monitoring team is responsible for the first area: making it easy to measure and analyse performance issues. We are engineers with a passion for performance, helping other engineers to build performant features together, and understanding teams' motivations and blockers for building a fast product so we know how to scale the culture of performance.</span> </div> <div> <br> <div>About the Role</div> <div> <br> <div> <span style="font-size:14.67px;">We are building a performance culture in Canva. To do that, we are looking for engineers with an interest in performance, how to debug and measure, and changing the way we work to develop features that are performant by default.</span> </div> <div> <br> <div> <span style="font-size:14.67px;">We are building tools to prevent performance regressions and measure real world performance. You will be helping us explore new ways to make the tool more effective. Your work would be getting more useful insights to show how performance issues affect us, finding engineering best practices and communicating how to use them across the company, building tools to make sure the codes we write are up to our performance standards, and being the performance evangelist in the company alongside the rest of the team.</span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
