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. But you have choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.
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.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
- Making recommendations for reliability improvements based on analysis and inference.
- As an individual contributor, design and implement processes, tools, automation, and libraries that service teams can use to improve the reliability of the services they own. For instance, adding a new long-awaited feature in our circuit breaker library.
You're probably a match if:
- You have demonstrated commercial experience working with developing complex, distributed web applications.
- You have an understanding of operating systems.
- You have experience working with a mainstream programming language (ideally python, golang or java)
- You have a solid understanding of resiliency techniques and patterns.
- You can demonstrate coding practices, experience with code reviews and pull requests, and a creative and conceptual problem-solving approach.
- You have strong communication and team collaboration skills, both written and verbal. As a reliability engineer, you will need to share the knowledge, communicate and coordinate changes across multiple service teams.
- Your knowledge of networking protocols such as TCP, HTTP/2, WebSockets, etc. The life of a request doesn’t start inside the backend web server, but rather in the browser of a user.
- You have experience working with microservice architectures in large distributed cloud environments (ideally AWS). We’re hosted on AWS and leverage the tools they provide as much as possible
- You have experience with RPC Frameworks, Finagle, Thrift or gRPC will be a huge plus, but not required; Understanding of how services communicate with each other is crucial to find out where a failure can occur.
Nice to have; Not required!
