Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

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:

  • Develop shared frontend frameworks and component libraries used by all product teams.
  • Build tools and infrastructure that streamline development workflows and improve code quality.
  • Identify and address frontend performance and scalability challenges.
  • Collaborate with design system and product teams to ensure accessibility, consistency, and reliability.
  • Lead technical design discussions and advocate for frontend best practices.
  • Mentor engineers and help grow Canva's frontend community of practice.

You're probably a match if

  • 5+ years of experience developing large-scale frontend applications.
  • Expertise in Javascript, React, TypeScript, and modern build tools (Webpack, Vite, etc.).
  • Strong understanding of frontend architecture, performance optimisation, and accessibility.
  • Experience building shared frameworks, design systems, or developer tooling.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills — you enjoy partnering across disciplines.
  • Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and performance trade-offs in browser environments.
  • Bonus: Interest or experience in integrating AI capabilities into user experiences (e.g., generative design features, intelligent UI assistance, or adaptive UX systems).

About The Supergroup

The Product Platform Supergroup (SG) builds Canva's shared product foundations across the Client Platform, Application Platform, and Product Insights Enablement (PIE), enabling teams to ship consistent, fast, and reliable experiences at global scale.

The Product Platform SG focuses on empowering engineers by creating shared backend and frontend frameworks, APIs, and developer tools that simplify product delivery and improve consistency across the Canva ecosystem.

About the Role

As a Senior Frontend Engineer in the Product Platform SG, you'll design and develop the shared libraries, frameworks, and tooling that support all Canva product surfaces. You'll work on improving developer experience, performance, and architecture across our frontend ecosystem. This is a high-leverage role that impacts hundreds of engineers and billions of user interactions.

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 stack of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.

Here's a taste of what's on offer:

  • Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too
  • Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
  • An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
  • Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally
