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.
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.
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.

Build end-to-end solutions: Design, develop, test, and deploy complete solutions using automation and AI orchestration platforms and also using Python, Node.js, cloud services, and AI technologies. You own the full lifecycle from requirements through production operation
Leverage and extend automation platforms: Build sophisticated workflows using n8n, Workato and CrewAI, create custom integrations, and develop reusable components that become part of our automation platform
Integrate AI capabilities: Incorporate AI agents, language models, and intelligent decision-making into your automations to handle complex, previously human-only tasks
Write scalable, maintainable code: Apply strong software engineering fundamentals to ensure your solutions are secure, performant, well-tested, and follow Canva engineering principles

A strong technical foundation
• You’ve built scalable systems and have solid grounding in software engineering fundamentals like data structures, algorithms, system design, and architecture.
• You’re confident working with Python to build services, automation, and internal tools - and if you’ve used Node.js, that’s a bonus!
• You’ve worked with REST APIs, RPCs, webhooks, and have experience integrating different systems and transforming data between them.
An AI & automation mindset
• You've used tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or GitHub Copilot in your workflow - and you’re excited about integrating LLMs and AI services into real applications.
• You’re always looking for ways to reduce manual effort, improve speed, and empower others through automation and self-service.
• You don’t just solve the immediate problem - you think about how your solution could be reused and scaled by others.
A collaborative, curious working style
• You’re self-directed and love tackling open-ended problems from start to finish.
• You enjoy switching between different domains and learning new technologies as needed.
• You’re a strong communicator who can explain technical concepts to a range of audiences and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams.

Bonus experience
• Familiarity with tools like n8n or Workato.

The Technology Experience group is one of Canva's internal platform organisations, responsible for making everyone at Canva more productive and effective. Within this group, teams combined have the mission to transform business operations through automation and/or AI-powered workflows.
Think of us as the "DevOps engineers of business operations." We don't just maintain existing tools; we actively hunt for opportunities to eliminate manual work, accelerate processes, and build platform capabilities that scale. We work across the entire business, partnering most closely with non-eng org like GTM, Marketing, Finance, Sales, Legal and People to understand their workflows and reimagine what's possible with modern automation technology.
Our team operates with a unique embedded model. Engineers join "tiger teams" that work shoulder-to-shoulder with domain experts, understand their problems deeply, then return home to build transformative solutions. We're building on platforms like n8n and Workato, extending Canva's internal tools, and creating reusable components that become part of our growing Intelligent Automation platform.
This isn’t your traditional backend role - it’s engineering with purpose. We’re looking for folks who thrive on ambiguity, love solving real-world problems, and are excited to blur the lines between tech and business.

Canva is a graphic design platform, used to create social media graphics, presentations, posters, documents and other visual content.
Before Canva, creating a professional looking design was a complex process - you had to purchase expensive software; learn how to use it; purchase stock photography and fonts for the software; decide on a layout; slice images; receive photos and content via email; design something; upload and email the pdf only to find revisions needed to be made … and then finally be able to prepare your design for web or print.
Since launching in August 2013, Canva has been changing the way in which we communicate. Today our design tool has attracted over 15 million happy users across 190 countries, who have collectively created more than 1 billion designs.
With an integrated marketplace that has both free and paid stock photography, fonts, illustrations, and thousands of templates; a paid subscription that offers the ability to set up a brand kit so users can save their brand colours, fonts and assets, and ensure consistency across their designs; and a print service that gives our users the ability to produce professional prints in a variety of formats and sizes, delivered straight to their doorstep - Canva is disrupting the way we design.
