Job Description
About the team
We’re the Product Insights Enablement group — or PIE for short — and we’re on a mission to unlock smarter, faster product development at Canva. PIE owns 'Pilot,' our internal platform that brings together our in-house experimentation tooling, feature flags, metrics, and, most recently, a feature catalogue: a canonical view of every feature in Canva, with out-of-the-box metrics for product teams.
We’ve built a strong foundation of data and measurement over the years, but we’re at a point now where we’re not just here to deliver more data — we're here to unleash the next era of Canva’s product evolution. We’re building novel capabilities that combine qualitative and quantitative insights, lean into the power of AI, and empower teams to make more confident, impactful product decisions. We’re a fast-growing group of FE/BE engineers, PMs, designers and data scientists/analytics engineers. And we’re excited to open up this role to help accelerate us towards this vision, and to co-create it.
About the role
We’re looking for a Frontend Engineer who’s passionate about building high-quality internal tools that directly shape product strategy. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on solving meaningful problems through thoughtful UX, clean architecture, and tight collaboration.
You'll help define and shape what we build by collaborating early and often with stakeholders—workshopping ideas, gathering requirements, and converting complexity into clarity. You’ll work closely with platform engineers, analysts, and product teams to design and develop internal-facing tools that visualise the health and quality of product features.
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.
Build and maintain frontend components for internal tools that visualise product insights
Collaborate across specialties to understand and integrate platform metrics and requirements
Partner with product teams to represent their features accurately and usefully in the platform
Lead workshops and working sessions with stakeholders to refine tool and project requirements
Shape the future of how Canva measures and improves product quality at scale
Mentor other frontend developers in the group
Work across the group to uplift frontend engineering practices, sharing patterns, contributing to design systems, and occasionally collaborating beyond team boundaries to drive consistency and quality
You're probably a match if you have
Solid frontend engineering experience, especially in TypeScript, React, and MobX
Strong product thinking with an eye for building tools that make complex data accessible and actionable
Experience building reusable UI components and working within design systems
Proven ability to gather, shape, and implement requirements through collaborative conversations and workshops
A self-starter mindset — you actively seek out problems, propose solutions, and thrive in environments where you're empowered to take ownership
Comfortable working closely with backend engineers, designers, and product managers to co-create end-to-end solutions and rally around objectives
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a bias toward clarity and simplicityType in your points here
Nice to have:
Background in product analytics, measurement, or data visualisation
Experience in full-stack development or internal platform engineering
Exposure to stakeholder engagement and change management
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

Other stuff to know
We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. When you apply, please tell us the pronouns you use and any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process.
We celebrate all types of skills and backgrounds at Canva so even if you don’t feel like your skills quite match what’s listed above - we still want to hear from you!
Please note that interviews are conducted virtually.
