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.

- You will be adept at navigating organizational and technical friction to influence other teams and specialties while maintaining focus on the technical aspects of delivery.
- Facilitate knowledge sharing and effectively advocate for the needs of engineering to non-technical stakeholders within the group
- Demonstrate initiative and ownership in achieving goals, improving processes and solutions.
- Identify opportunities for cross-team collaboration to work on new ideas and improvements that help achieve our goals.
