  • Research and develop custom ML/AI solutions for Design AI tools and features.
  • Integrate existing ML solutions to Design AI pipeline, when necessary.

  • You are proficient in Python.
  • You have a good understanding of the life cycle of machine learning models.

  • Coding proficiency with SQL.
  • Experience with Snowflake.
  • Familiarity with ML technologies like Airflow, Argo workflow, Mlflow, Sagemaker.
  • Familiarity with the CI/CD concepts, the life cycle of web applications.

About the team

Our mission is to empower Canva to build Design AI magical product experiences which include supporting the needs of all Design AI teams from dataset perspective, doing R&D work ourselves, as well as immediate feature delivery. The Applied Scientists working in the Design Generation AU team are responsible for researching and developing AI/ML solutions for the user-facing features, such as AI-assisted design editing, at Canva in the Design AI space. 

2024 is an incredible time to join the team. Design AI is one of the key strategic initiatives for Canva. Our team is small but growing rapidly. We build models that would be core of user experience, and support MLEs across many teams from platform prospective. 

We are looking for Applied Scientists with a strong research and machine learning background and knowledge of large language models (LLMs) and large multimodal models (LMMs), and who thrive in fast-paced high-energy environments, to help us support Design AI projects through applied R&D - identify the data needs and using the said data to research and develop an AI solution for a Design AI feature.

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.
