Senior Software Engineer - Networking
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. 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:
Designing, building and operating a network spanning multiple infrastructure providers across the globe.
Designing, building and operating software for infrastructure automation across multiple providers.
Being on-call for the team’s products and drive operational excellence
Working with our stakeholders across Security, Product, and other Platform teams to understand their needs as we forge Canva’s platform products
You're probably a match if
You have strong software and networking engineering experience with Golang, Python or Java.
You have a strong understanding of networking incl. routing protocols and network architecture, Linux networking concepts, e.g. nftables, FRR, and cloud networking in providers like AWS, GCP, or Azure.
You have experience in deploying and operating networks with cloud or NaaS providers or; operating networks in data centre, bare metal or telco environments.
You have experience working with infrastructure platforms to create a foundation for building secure, reliable, and performant systems.
You have experience with building infrastructure automation systems and control loop architectures.
You have experience using declarative configuration to manage infrastructure.
Experience as a software or network engineer building platform products to accelerate and empower engineers to achieve crazy big goals.
About The Team
The Networking team is responsible for workload identity, application networking, connectivity, VPCs, and internal PKI. The team is part of the Core Infrastructure Group, which is made up of approximately 70 Software Engineers, and their goal is to enable the safe, secure, and reliable operation of canva.com. Core Infrastructure’s mission is to reduce the complexity of using infrastructure resources so that engineers can focus on their own domains. We build products to support engineers across the company to easily provision and configure cloud resources, and release, run and operate workloads. And our goal is to ensure it's all done in the simplest and most secure way possible.
About the Role
The Networking team is tasked with building Canva’s core network to provide connectivity between services spanning infrastructure providers around the globe. Our network enables engineers to build truly global services and connects them to the compute needed to build powerful AI products in a competitive market.
We aim to hide the complexity of providing connectivity between infrastructure providers and regions, providing a simple, ubiquitous network.
We’re looking for someone who has had experience with building and operating networks with cloud services providers, ‘neoclouds’ and NaaS providers.
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.
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 see AI as a powerful amplifier of creativity and technology at Canva. We’re evolving how we assess AI skills in our Technology hiring experience - you’ll tackle interactive, real-time challenges that reflect the kind of work we do. In some interviews, you may also be asked to solve a problem using an AI tool to show how you approach challenges with tech by your side. Your recruitment partner will walk you through what to expect. 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.
