Hey, hello, hiya, 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.

You're probably a match if

Proven Leadership:
Demonstrated success in both people and technical leadership, with robust interpersonal skills.

Technical Proficiency:

A solid technical backend background in Java is essential - whether you've excelled as an individual contributor in a platform team or have successfully managed a team with a focus on platform-related initiatives.

Dev Ops and On-call Experience: Experience in building and fostering a Dev Ops culture within a team, as well as establishing and managing on-call practices is highly valued, showcasing your commitment to operational excellence.

About the team

The Search Platform Team plays a pivotal role in supporting Canva's expansive user base by supporting the infrastructure, platform, and products essential for content discovery.

We empower our users by finding the right template for their next pitch deck, the perfect picture for their promotional instagram post, and to quickly find the document they shared 2 weeks with their boss.

Discoverable content, both in the form of templates and ingredients, is Canva's moat.
In the era of artificial intelligence (AI), embracing the new possibilities it presents is imperative for Canva's long-term success.

The Search Platform Team has been entrusted with the responsibility of maintaining the highest throughput machine learning (ML) and information retrieval systems at Canva.

Simultaneously, we are laying the groundwork for the next generation of ML and generative AI capabilities, ensuring Canva remains at the forefront of innovation in this dynamic landscape.

What's in it for you?

Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too.

We also offer a stack of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.

Here's a taste of what's on offer:
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
