Product Insights Enablement Technical Lead

We are seeking a talented and experienced Technical Lead to join our Product Insights Enablement (PIE) team at Canva. As a Technical Lead, you will be responsible for shaping the vision of our product decision platforms and driving technical excellence across the organization.

About the Role

This is a leadership position that requires a versatile staff software engineer with a strong track record of successfully planning and executing complex architectural changes. You will partner with other engineer and product leads to build impactful solutions that facilitate decision-making and remove guesswork from the product development process.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define the technical roadmap and architecture for our product decision platforms
  • Advocate for best practices that enhance service performance, resilience, and adaptability
  • Establish yourself as an expert in developing platforms that facilitate decision-making while being deeply integrated with the company's data ecosystem
  • Pose innovative approaches and solutions to future-proof Canva's product decision platforms and deliver on business outcomes
  • Engage with others to shape improvements through writing design documents and running design meetings
  • Design and implement the most intricate aspects of the system, showcasing your aptitude for tackling complex technical challenges effectively
  • Guide the implementation of major projects, planning task breakdown, and keeping engineers in sync using excellent verbal and written communication skills, including architectural diagrams
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to other engineers, assisting them in their professional development and helping them navigate technical challenges

About the Team

The PIE team consists of a diverse mix of engineers, product managers, and product designers collaborating to create reliable insight-as-a-service platforms that assist the entire company in planning and decision-making. We focus on providing capabilities such as user behavior analytics, experimentation (A/B testing), feature flags, and organizational metrics.

Requirements

  • Extensive experience developing distributed web applications on the JVM, with a deep understanding of Java (other JVM languages like Scala or Kotlin are a plus)
  • A track record of successfully planning and executing complex architectural changes, with a strong focus on creative problem-solving rather than reliance on specific frameworks or libraries
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to foster a positive working environment across stakeholders and engineers
  • Proven experience mentoring and guiding engineering teams, unblocking technical challenges, and serving as a role model
  • Mastery of computer science and engineering fundamentals such as concurrency, data structures, and distributed systems, along with a strong grasp of resiliency techniques like load balancing, throttling, back pressure, and circuit breaking
  • Hands-on experience working in large distributed cloud environments (AWS preferred) and familiarity with cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes and Terraform

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

Benefits

  • 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 support you personally

Salary: $160,000 - $200,000 per year
