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. About the group/team The Security Group is responsible for protecting Canva systems and data from information security threats. The group runs programs across Application Security, Risk Management, Enterprise Security, and Threat Detection and Response domains. Our teams work together, and with other groups, to deliver preventive and detective controls and processes that reduce security risk. This role will be responsible for directly leading two teams; Security Platform Engineering and Security Development. The Security Platform Engineering team takes charge for solving security-specific problems, using security domain expertise to unblock engineering to work on Canva-differentiating features. Our vision is to empower every engineer to build secure code with ease, through establishing a suite of paved roads for engineers to consume. The team is currently focused on building sandbox capabilities, workload isolation, BYOK and more. The Security Development team builds and runs software that accelerates and strengthens the work of the wider Security Group. Beyond maintaining existing platforms, the team builds net-new capabilities that enable the security team to move faster, make better decisions, and reduce security risk across Canva.[ ](https://docs.google.com/document/d/11iHuyvlFEB86caURMsXynu5EfGYgMIIYiO-q-q4VN2E/edit)This includes things like vulnerability scanning and incident response tooling.
