Description:

We are looking for a Senior Technology Director who thrives in the complex technical space of video platform engineering and isn't afraid to dive deep into the most challenging problems.

This role sits at the intersection of technical excellence and people leadership, managing a mix of engineers and technology directors. We operate in a high-visibility, high-impact and high-speed environment with significant direct user impact, and a successful leader would be someone who thrives in chaotic and rapidly innovative environments.

  • Leading a world-class Video Platform sub-group of ~20 engineers (including staff engineers).
  • Driving the architecture and execution of Canva's next-gen video rendering stack across native and web platforms.
  • Building robust infrastructure for high-performance video experiences across mobile, web, and backend export pipelines.
  • Partnering with product and design teams to translate creative needs into platform capabilities used by millions globally.
  • Setting the technical vision and building a scalable roadmap for the platform team—including hiring and coaching high-calibre video talent.
  • Owning and delivering a major evolution in Canva's video technology strategy.

About This Role:

In this role, you will have the opportunity to lead a talented team of engineers and drive the development of cutting-edge video technology. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality products that meet the needs of our customers.

What You'll Need:

To succeed in this role, you will need:

  • Extensive experience leading platform engineering teams in multimedia, embedded systems, or video rendering domains.
  • Deep knowledge of video codecs, rendering pipelines, and cross-platform systems (bonus for WASM and native engine experience).
  • A proven track record managing large engineering orgs (15+), including staff engineers, and building high-impact tech orgs.
  • Strong stakeholder management experience and the ability to influence technical direction at scale.
  • A passion for fostering engineering excellence—mentoring engineers and building systems that scale across millions of users.

The Team:

You will be part of a dynamic team that is passionate about delivering high-quality products that meet the needs of our customers. We value collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.

The Company:

Canva is a fast-growing company that is dedicated to making professional design accessible to everyone. We believe in empowering our employees to make a positive impact on the world through their work.
