  • Mentor and guide engineers across the subgroup, sharing expertise in payment systems, fraud prevention, and distributed architecture

  • Collaborate with product managers and stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions

  • Drive innovation in payment infrastructure, exploring emerging technologies like AI-assisted development to accelerate market expansion

You're probably a match if

  • Extensive experience with one or more of the following: Payment systems architecture, gateway integrations, payment routing, multi-currency handling, machine learning and rule-based fraud detection, payment and contract fraud prevention and security best practices, compliance and regulatory requirements for payment processing in multiple jurisdictions.

  • Deep expertise in distributed, event-driven and microservice architectures, with proven experience scaling low-latency, fault-tolerant transactional systems

  • Proven track record of technical leadership across multiple engineering teams, with experience driving architectural decisions

  • Excellent communication skills for collaborating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

  • Passion for innovation and exploring new technologies, such as A,I to solve complex challenges

About the team

This role directly supports Canva's mission to enable anyone, anywhere to access and pay for Canva services by establishing a robust, scalable payment infrastructure. By creating standardised integration patterns and intelligent payment routing systems, this role will accelerate market expansion, reduce payment failures, and improve the overall user experience across all payment touchpoints.

The work will unlock new markets more efficiently, reduce engineering overhead for payment integrations, and establish the foundation for AI-assisted payment method development - all critical capabilities for Canva's continued global growth.

As a Staff Engineer in Payments & Fraud, you will operate as a strategic technical leader with a depth of context in our payments & fraud domains who drives change across multiple teams and groups at Canva. This role requires sharp engineering craft and exceptional cross-specialty collaboration skills to gain buy-in from diverse stakeholders including product managers, finance, compliance, and engineering teams. You'll influence others towards optimal business and engineering outcomes through deep domain expertise, technical excellence, strategic thinking, and effective communication.
