We're a team of innovators and problem-solvers who are passionate about empowering our users with flexible configuration and robust team management capabilities.

The Role

We're looking for a skilled Senior Backend Engineer to join our Admin Experience Group. As a key member of our team, you'll play a crucial role in helping us execute on our vision of revolutionising how large teams utilise and administrate Canva.

Your primary focus will be on designing new features that empower our users with flexible configuration and robust team management capabilities. You'll work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to understand user onboarding requirements and design scalable solutions.

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to integrate with 3rd party solutions to seamlessly onboard millions of users onto Canva's platform. You'll also help the team deliver a great user experience to administrators for managing large-scale user bases.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll be responsible for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues related to the team's domain as and when they arise. You'll also be part of the team's rostered on-call rotation.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand user onboarding requirements and design scalable solutions.
  • Integrate with 3rd party solutions to seamlessly onboard millions of users onto Canva's platform.
  • Help the team deliver a great user experience to administrators for managing large-scale user bases.
  • Proactively identify areas for optimisation and enhancement in the user provisioning process, contributing to continuous improvement efforts.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to the team's domain as and when they arise, and be part of the team's rostered on-call rotation.
Requirements

To be successful in this role, you'll need:

  • Commercial experience in a software development environment, building scalable backend systems.
  • Firmly grounded computer science and engineering fundamentals, including concurrency, multithreading, data structures, solution design, architecture, and design patterns.
  • Working collaboratively with team members and communicating optimally.
  • Good writing and verbal communication skills.
  • Proficiency in Java, with the ability to take a coding round at a Senior level.
Benefits

We offer a competitive salary of $120,000 - $180,000 per annum, depending on experience, plus equity packages, inclusive parental leave policy, annual Vibe & Thrive allowance, and flexible leave options.

Our offices are located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, but you can work from anywhere, with a choice of office, home, or hybrid arrangements. We're committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we encourage applications from people of all backgrounds.
