Overview

Senior Software Engineer - Core Infrastructure (remote across ANZ) at Canva. Join to apply for the Senior Software Engineer - Core Infrastructure (remote across ANZ) role at Canva.

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help Canva scale its cloud infrastructure with governance, foundational platforms, and a strong emphasis on security, reliability, and efficiency.

What you'd be doing
  • Building and evolving cloud governance capabilities such as the Compliance Engine, Cloud Account Factory, and metadata systems that enforce guardrails, enhance visibility, and ensure Canva's cloud environments remain compliant and low-risk.
  • Abstract cloud complexity for engineers by designing and maintaining foundational platforms and services that make deploying to the cloud seamless, scalable, and safe, enabling product teams to focus on impact.
  • Drive operational excellence across cloud infrastructure by collaborating with Engineering Governance and Core Infrastructure teams to uplift Canva's overall cloud posture, reduce risk, and promote industry-leading best practices.
You're probably a match if
  • You code in Golang or Python: you're confident with one and keen to upskill in the other.
  • You bring engineering depth: strong foundational knowledge of computer engineering principles underpins how you solve problems.
  • You know cloud inside-out: especially AWS — experience with services like EKS, EC2, Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS, and S3 (or similar from another provider).
  • You design with purpose: your cloud architecture experience is scalable, secure, and cost-conscious.
  • You automate everything: you're fluent in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform preferred, but other tools welcome).
  • You own your goals: you take ownership, track progress, and deliver outcomes.
  • You lift others up: you mentor, guide, and improve collaboration across the team.
  • You're curious and collaborative: you enjoy tackling unfamiliar territory and connecting short-term actions to long-term goals.
