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 Sydney campus is uniquely Canva - an extension of our Surry Hills neighbourhood. It’s a thoughtfully designed space with plenty of room to collaborate, focus, and connect. This role is based in Sydney, and we’re looking for someone who calls it home. Our hybrid way of working gives you the flexibility to work remotely, and to come together on campus for meaningful in-person collaboration and connection when it matters most. 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: * Play a leading role in defining the technical roadmap and architecture for API platforms as Canva evolves. This involves helping shape the roadmaps for critical building blocks of Canva’s backend systems. * Become an authority in the area of API architecture and service communication. You will need to define and evangelise best practices for software architecture and layering, service performance, resiliency patterns and best practice library consumption. You will do this with both coding contributions and effective PR reviews. * Design and be a hands-on implementer of intricate aspects of the system, showcasing your aptitude for tackling complex technical challenges effectively. * Propose innovative approaches and solutions to help future-proof Canva's distributed cloud infrastructure. You must engage with others to shape the improvements t
