Kamusta, 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 campus is in Sydney, Australia, but with many of our Canvanauts calling the Philippines home, our office in Manila is a buzzing place. Whether your role needs you in the office, at home or a bit of both, we've created an environment that truly empowers you to thrive.

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.

We're on the hunt for an awesome Systems Engineer to join our team! As a Systems Engineer in the Workforce Access Management team, you'll be responsible for empowering our Canvanauts through the delivery of our Access Management services.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Delivering critical projects related to our Identity & Access Management program
• Implementing Access Management Controls via Okta on new and existing Third-Party SaaS systems (SSO, Authentication, Authorisation, Role-Based Access, Identity Lifecycle, User Access review)
• Make Complex Things Simple by automating existing and new business processes using IPaaS tools (Workato)
• Providing consulting services & support related to Access Management for various types of requests, changes, escalations, and incidents
• Designing and implementing SSO integrations via SAML and OIDC
• Evaluating new and emerging technologies, features, and products that make it easier to reliably build a mature Access Management practice

You're probably a match if:

• You have at least 4 years of experience configuring Okta in large enterprise environments
• You bring strong, demonstrable experience in Access Management or IAM engineering
• You have a proven track record of delivering projects related to Access Management programs
• You possess deep technical knowledge of app integration protocols such as SCIM, SAML, and OIDC
• You have strong knowledge of Access Management principles and best practices
• You leverage data to identify trends, surface problem areas, and prioritise improvements based on clear metrics

It’s a plus if:

• You have experience automating business processes using iPaaS tools like Workato
• You have an understanding of AI tooling and MCP configuration, particularly with Claude or ChatGPT

If you're a highly motivated individual with a passion for Access Management, delivering great service and working in a dynamic team focused environment we'd love to hear from you! Apply today for this exciting opportunity.
