Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora,你好, hallo, vítejte

Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.

**Where and how you can work**

Our flagship campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. But you have choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.

**What you’d be doing in this role**

As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

At the moment, this role is focused on, leading the Support Profile and Pathways team to uplift our chatbot experience and how our users get in touch with us (diagnostic flow). You'll also be defining and implementing our personalisation strategy to make sure every users is receiving the right help at the right time.

This includes:

- Leading and coaching a motivated team of 5 engineers (mix of frontend and backend)
- Support the team's growth via feedback and impact reviews
- Responsible for the break-down and delivery of large projects
- Operate service(s) with excellence
- Partner with senior members of the team to guide the technical vision
- Design, develop and deploy solutions and hands-on software development
- working closely with leads, designers, and product managers
- Foster an impactful and engaged team via a healthy code review culture, knowledge sharing, design showcases, and process improvements
- Advocate for engineering needs to non-technical partners within the group

You're probably a match if you have:

- Validated experience in technical people leadership, making sound decisions and delivering outcomes on technical projects
- Success in leading cross disciplinary teams, from mid to senior engineering levels
- Exceptional problem-solving skills, with the ability to break large projects down into smaller ones and deliver on them through others.
- Exceptional communication and team collaboration skills, both written and verbal.
- Firmly grounded computer science and engineering fundamentals including concurrency, multithreading, data structures, solution design, architecture, and design patterns.

It would be a bonus if you had (not required):

- Experience with self-help experience and/or conversational AI technologies
- Commercial experience in Java
