Senior Security Engineer - Digital Forensics & Incident Response

What you’d be doing in this role:

• Acting as a senior escalation point and incident coordinator for security incidents across Canva’s cloud, endpoint, and SaaS environments.
• Leading and actively participating in security incident response, from initial detection through investigation, containment, eradication, and recovery.
• Performing deep forensic analysis to determine scope, impact, and root cause, and translating technical findings into clear outcomes for stakeholders.

You’re probably a match if:

• You have strong experience leading and coordinating complex security incident investigations in modern cloud-native environments.
• You’re comfortable performing deep technical investigations and forensic analysis across endpoints, cloud infrastructure, and SaaS platforms.
• You enjoy building and improving security tooling, automation, and response workflows — not just using what already exists.

About the team:

• DFIR supports Detection & Response’s mission to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber attacks against Canva, Canvanauts, and Canva users.
• We operate across the full incident lifecycle — from investigation and containment through to recovery and learning — and engage in both proactive and reactive activities to improve Canva’s security resilience over time.
