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:

Building efficient and reusable front end abstractions and systems

Working closely with stakeholders and designers to create world-class support experiences

Collaborating within and across teams to create holistic solutions

Identifying and improving practices and methodologies for front end engineering

Finding opportunities for cross-team collaboration to work on new ideas and improvements

Empowering and mentoring other engineers

You’ll be taking ownership of a domain that is rapidly growing in scale, that captures customer feedback, harnesses user research, creates and shares insights with teams across Canva and closes the loop with users when their issues have been solved.

You will also work closely with other team members building solutions that help users get back to designing quickly by self-solving their issues and, if needed, handing them over to support agents smoothly.

You will get hands-on experience writing reusable code and technical documentation to build intuitive user and staff facing experiences.

You will lead and contribute to projects, discover opportunities and drive experiments. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced engineer who knows how to both communicate well and design systems and components that balance simplicity and flexibility.

You're probably a match if

You're at home working in our core technology environment - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, MobX (or other state management libraries) and back end technology (e.g. Node or Java)

You have the ability to write performant, reusable code for UI components, including appropriate testing

You enjoy working collaboratively with team members, communicating effectively, and taking ownership of projects and outcomes

You’ve perfected the balance between big-picture thinking and nailing the details

You're excited by the opportunity to contribute to a rapidly growing and critical function of Canva and connect with improving the help experience for millions of people around the world

About the team

The Support Profile & Pathways team delivers an exceptional customer experience by building innovative self-help tools, creating streamlined user experiences, developing scalable systems, capturing and sharing customer insights, and working closely with the AI Assistant and Help Center teams. Come and join us if you enjoy:

Continuously experimenting with and deploying AI technologies to address user problems effectively

Creating innovative and enjoyable experiences that help large numbers of users solve problems and get back to designing as quickly as possible

A positive, supportive culture where team members are keen to lean in, collaborate, and celebrate success together

Collaborating closely with peers across disciplines including data, ML / AI, product and design to problem solve and iteratively improve experiences.

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.
