About the team

The Media Platform Group's mission is to provide a world-class platform for every design ingredient and design template, on every device, wherever you are, whoever you are, at any time, with perfect reliability. We support all complex design ingredients, present and future, as well as all design templates and aim for consistent functionality across all. Our core entities today store templates, images, fonts, audio, and video and we manage a fleet of services that store, process and serve these ingredients.

Nearly all designs start from a template served by template service and load several ingredients from Media Platform services. With 200M+ monthly active users, our services run at high levels of scale, storing large amounts of data and need perfect reliability, all whilst keeping infrastructure costs under control. This is a fascinating and challenging environment to work in that drives the group to develop innovative cross-cutting solutions that work across all ingredients and which are often adopted by many teams outside the group.areas, and maximise the positive impact we have on Canva’ engineering teams and users around the world.
