Join the Revolution at Leonardo.Ai

At Leonardo.Ai, we are advancing our generative AI platform to empower millions, regardless of expertise, with intuitive tools for creating high-quality images and videos. Now part of the Canva family, we're ready to build a world-class R&D team to seamlessly integrate AI products, tools, and features, making creativity limitless for nearly a quarter of a billion users.

The Role:

As a Front-End Engineer at Leonardo.Ai, you won't just build features, you'll help shape how millions of creators, designers, and storytellers interact with AI-powered tools.

Our engineering function is organised into cross-functional tribes, each focused on key product areas or platform capabilities. These squads move fast and think deeply, working closely with product, design, and research to build meaningful, user-first solutions.

Depending on your experience, you could be building creative tools that empower users directly, optimising real-time rendering for seamless experiences, or developing secure, scalable features that power enterprise workflows. Your work will help people move from idea to creation faster, with more clarity and creative freedom than ever before.

What you'll do:

  • Create AI Features That Don't Yet Exist: Bring new creative tools to life — from real-time canvas interaction to advanced prompt editing and video generation, shaping the way millions engage with generative AI.
  • Own Technical Planning: Help set the direction for projects by contributing to architecture and technical decisions that ensure our systems are fast, reliable, and scalable.
  • Collaborate Closely with Product and Design: Work hand in hand with designers, PMs, and ML engineers to deliver polished, intuitive features that genuinely delight users.
  • Write High-Quality, Maintainable Code: Develop clean, scalable front-end code using React, Next.js App Router, TypeScript, and GraphQL — with performance and future-proofing top of mind.
  • Raise Engineering Standards Across the Team: Participate in code reviews, share constructive feedback, and help build a culture of craftsmanship and continuous improvement.
  • Stay Curious and Bring Fresh Ideas: Keep up with emerging trends in front-end development and creative tooling, bringing new perspectives that help us build smarter and faster.

Skills we like:
  • Proven experience delivering production-ready front-end applications\
  • Deep knowledge of React and Next.js, including App Router and rendering patterns
  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript and working with GraphQL APIs
  • Experience partnering closely with designers and product teams
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
  • Clear communicator who shares context and embraces feedback
  • Passionate about creative tools, UX, and front-end performance

If you want to build at the intersection of design and AI, in a team that values speed, autonomy, and trust, we'd love to hear from you.

Our Culture:
  • Inclusive Culture: We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered. At Leonardo AI, your unique perspectives and experiences are welcomed and essential to our success.
  • Flexible Work Environment: We understand the importance of work-life balance. Enjoy the flexibility to work remotely or from our vibrant offices. We have employees all over Australia, ensuring you can thrive personally and professionally.
  • Empowering Growth: Your development is our priority. We offer continuous learning opportunities and career growth tailored to your goals. You'll be encouraged to grow and excel in your career at Leonardo AI.
  • Impactful Work: Join us in shaping the future of AI. You'll work on innovative projects that have a meaningful impact, and your contributions will help drive advancements in AI creativity.
