  • Propose new approaches and solutions to ensure Canva can rapidly grow.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of commercial experience developing complex applications in Python.
  • Experience with other languages like Java and TypeScript is a plus.
  • Extensive experience in developing clean, readable, and maintainable code.
  • Experience with developing or maintaining libraries, frameworks, or tools is a plus.
  • Experience in architecting and building microservices with Python async web server frameworks.
  • Familiarity with high transaction rate, low latency messaging systems in distributed systems.
  • Comfortable with computer science and engineering fundamentals: concurrency, data structures.
  • Experience working in large distributed cloud environments (ideally AWS).
  • Disciplined coding practices, experience with code reviews and pull requests, and a creative problem-solving approach.
  • Strong communication and team collaboration skills.
  • Understanding of resiliency techniques and patterns.

What's in it for you?
