StaffSoftwareEngineer-MobilePlatform

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design. Hey, g'day, 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 Mobile Platform owns how Canva runs on iOS and Android, and the portable libraries layer is one of the most technically interesting pieces of the mobile bet. Every product team at Canva builds on top of what this group ships. Write the foundational libraries once, in a performant system language, and run them everywhere. Rust and C are on the table. The interface, the safety model, and the ergonomics for engineers consuming them across every runtime are the open problems. The strategic bet is a hybrid stack with React Native at its core, supported by a set of portable libraries that run across iOS, Android, and web from a single codebase. This role sits at the heart of the portable libraries work. Hundreds of millions of users open Canva on a phone or tablet, and the libraries you build will run underneath every one of them. There's a second reason this work matters now. This is where deep mobile expertise meets systems programming. Not many engineers operate at that intersection. The ones who do shape how products like Canva get built for the next decade. .At the moment, this role is focused on: * Owning the por
