Software Engineer (Python) - Analytics Platform Team
Job Description
Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
Hey, hello, hiya, 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.
Contributing to the design and development of next-generation Analytics Platform features, making data insights accessible and scalable for all Canva teams.
Developing APIs and developer tools that transform how Canvanauts interact with, analyse, and visualise data.
Driving continuous improvement of our CI/CD pipelines and SRE practices to streamline deployment and enhance the reliability of analytics tools and infrastructure.
Prototyping and shipping innovative AI-driven features, such as chatbots or intelligent search, to help push Canva to the forefront of data enablement.
Collaborating across cross-functional teams to deliver high-impact, technically challenging projects with excellence.
Championing engineering best practices, with a focus on performance, scalability, reliability, and code quality.
You're probably a match if
You’re a software engineer fluent in Python, with strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes
You have strong Computer Engineering / Science knowledge around fundamentals and first principles relating to concurrency, multithreading, data structures, architecture, and various design patterns
You bring a strong background in building scalable platforms and solving complex software challenges
You have experience working with AWS and have a good understanding of IaC, CI/CD, and SRE principles
You’re passionate about exploring emerging AI/ML opportunities
You communicate with clarity and influence, and you’re eager to empower over 5,000 Canvanauts to unlock the value of data
The Analytics Platform Team
This role is part of Infrastructure's Analytics Platform team which empowers every Canvanaut with efficient, reliable self-service tools to generate, discover, and manage analytical insights. Supporting over 5,000 Canvanauts, we continuously improve the discoverability of data and insights, business intelligence tools, and advanced analytics/AI capabilities. We fuel data-driven decisions across Canva, unlocking the full potential of data democratisation and amplifying impact at every level.
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 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.
