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, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.
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:
Improving the monorepo developer experience by identifying and fixing key friction points in local development and CI workflows
Streamlining integration workflows by rolling out consistent, scalable improvements to integration and deployment paths
Defining and establishing metrics that track developer collaboration and effectiveness across the platform
Partnering with platform teams to reduce CI latency and improve performance at scale
Enabling smarter collaboration across shared code, including stacked PR support
Surfacing integration issues earlier in the workflow through innovative CI feedback systems
Collaborating with dozens of other teams in the DevX and Infra groups to ensure a cohesive end-to-end experience for every Canvanaut.
You're probably a match if:
You code in Golang or Python: You’re confident with one and keen to upskill in the other.
You have a strong track record in high-performing engineering teams and have influenced large-scale development practices
You’re passionate about developer experience and reducing cognitive load for engineers
You’re adept at navigating ambiguity, communicating with clarity, and driving forward technical initiatives
You’re comfortable collaborating with a broad range of stakeholders including PMs, TPMs, and platform engineers
You thrive in fast-paced environments and have a bias for action and continuous improvement
You write clean, maintainable code and can wear multiple hats—from planning to delivery
About the team
The Developer Collaboration team is focused on enabling fast, consistent, and reliable development workflows across the entire engineering org. Our mission is to remove friction and accelerate developer velocity—especially in areas like the monorepo experience, integration workflows, and tooling cohesion. We stay responsive to the evolving needs of engineers, ensuring they have intuitive, high-leverage tools to build, test, and ship confidently. Our team values clean architecture, adaptability, and collaboration—driving impact through thoughtful, scalable solutions that support Canva’s broader vision and pace of innovation.
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 support 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.
