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

Job Description

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 two critical backend teams: Personalisation Solutions and B2B Data Infrastructure

• Driving the technical strategy behind personalized experiences for millions of Canva users

• Scaling backend data systems that power enterprise monetisation and product-led growth

• Supporting your teams to deliver high-quality, reliable, and performant services

• Coaching engineers and creating an inclusive, high-performing culture

• Collaborating across product, design, data, and engineering to shape roadmaps and impact

You're probably a match if

  • You have strong backend engineering experience and have led software engineering teams at scale

  • You're comfortable in Java, with experience designing and scaling distributed systems

  • You have practical experience with AWS and cloud-native backend infrastructure

  • You have experience in data engineering or analytics infrastructure – you're more than comfortable in SQL

  • You're passionate about personalization, experimentation, and user-centric systems

  • You've built and scaled systems with high reliability and performance expectations

  • You're excited to grow others and lead with clarity, care, and candour

  • You thrive in a fast-paced, growth-focused environment

About the team

You'll be joining the Growth supergroup, which exists to make Canva indispensable in people's lives. The Activation & Engagement group is laser-focused on helping users unlock value throughout their journey. Within it, the Personalisation Solutions team crafts intelligent experiences tailored to every user, while the B2B Data Infrastructure team empowers our paid product and enterprise motion with reliable, secure, and scalable data systems.

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.

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
