About the Role

As a Senior Backend Software Engineer at Canva, you will be responsible for shaping the vision of Python libraries, frameworks, and tools used at Canva. You will work closely with the Core Libraries Team to develop and maintain internal libraries and tools utilized by Canva's development teams.

Key Responsibilities
  • Designing and implementing tools and libraries to connect ML services to the rest of the Canva's microservice architecture.
  • Designing, prototyping, and implementing scalable libraries and patterns to bridge the existing Java-based microservices to the Python-based ML systems.
  • Having a widespread impact across the organization by facilitating and spearheading cross-team initiatives that raise the bar for reliability, velocity, and security.
  • Investigating and understanding production incidents, followed up by applying the learning to code.
  • Researching, justifying, and advocating your design choices in the form of design docs.
  • Liaising with key stakeholders across the business, but in particular machine learning groups to deeply understand their requirements for production-grade performant solutions.
  • Proposing new approaches and solutions to ensure that Canva can continue to rapidly grow.

Requirements
  • You have five-plus (5+) years of commercial experience developing complex applications in Python.
  • Experience with other languages such as Java and TypeScript is a big plus but it's not necessary.
  • You have extensive experience in developing clean, readable, and maintainable code; The libraries and tools developed by the team are used by hundreds of developers at Canva so they need to be easily understandable.
  • You have experience with developing or maintaining libraries, frameworks, or tools would be a big plus but is not necessary.
  • You have experience in architecting and building micro-services with Python async web server frameworks.
  • You have familiarity with high transaction rate, low latency messaging systems in distributed systems.
  • You are comfortable with computer science and engineering fundamentals: concurrency, data structures.
  • You have experience working in large distributed cloud environments (ideally AWS).
  • You have disciplined coding practices, experience with code reviews and pull requests, and a creative and conceptual problem-solving approach.
  • You have strong communication and team collaboration skills, both written and verbal. A Canva engineer strives to understand the exact problem before jumping into writing code - look before you leap.
  • You have an understanding of resiliency techniques and patterns - load balancing, throttling, back pressure, circuit breaking, etc; For Canva, reliability is a feature, and the Core Libraries and broader infrastructure teams aim to provide the best tools possible to the application engineers to ensure that Canva stays available at all times.

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, too.
  • We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.

Why Canva?
At Canva, we're passionate about empowering everyone to create. We believe that design should be accessible to everyone, not just designers. Our mission is to make a lasting impact on the world by shaping the future of design and creativity. We're a team of talented individuals who are passionate about what we do, and we're looking for like-minded individuals to join us on this journey.
