Brisbane, Queensland, Australia beBeeExpertise Full time $125,000 - $175,000
Frontend Architecture Expert

This is a senior role that involves designing, building, and maintaining high-performance frontend architecture for web applications.

The successful candidate will be responsible for leading architectural efforts around code bundling and delivery, evaluating and evolving systems to support scale, reduce bottlenecks, and enable engineering velocity.

  • Developing tooling and systems that empower engineers with visibility into performance regressions before they reach production—through automated detection and validation workflows.
  • Collaborating across multiple teams to lead technically complex, large-scale, ambiguous initiatives—bringing high-level expertise, context sharing, and strategic clarity to drive scalable solutions.

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of core web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, MobX or similar) and backend stacks (Java), with a track record of delivering high-quality solutions across the stack.

A strong grasp of build systems and performance tooling—from bundling and minification to web vitals—and the ability to architect for scale and speed are essential.

The role requires a proven ability to drive clarity in high-ambiguity spaces, tackling complex or undefined technical problems and aligning multiple teams toward a shared direction.

Experience operating in large-scale environments—managing cross-functional collaboration, influencing technical roadmaps, and aligning with stakeholders across the org—is necessary.

We are looking for someone who can contribute high-level technical expertise and strategic direction to the development of tools that detect performance regressions before they reach production.

Responsibilities
  • Design and deliver JavaScript-based RPC clients to power seamless communication between frontend and backend systems.
  • Explore the design and adoption of React Server Components, contributing to the evolution of rendering architecture.
  • Shape the future of our code bundling and delivery infrastructure, ensuring it scales with the needs of a growing product and engineering organisation.
  • Identify benefits and limitations of existing technologies, guiding teams toward architectural decisions that unblock scale and improve developer experience.
Benefits
  • Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too
  • Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents and carers
  • An annual allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup, and more
  • Flexible leave options that empower you to recharge and support you personally
About The Role

This role operates at the subgroup level, working across initiatives that span 3–4 platform teams, helping shape the direction of Canva's web platform.

You'll have the opportunity to lead forward-looking projects, including driving product performance improvements by exploring emerging technologies.

What's In It For You?

Achieving our big goals motivates us to work hard—and we offer a stack of benefits to support you both at work and outside of it.
