Job Description

As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. At the moment, this role is focused on leading the design and evolution of scalable backend systems that support Canva’s admin experiences across everything from large, complex enterprises to growing SMBs. You will be working closely with cross-functional teams to understand multi-team admin needs, spot opportunities for system improvements, and turn them into scalable, reliable solutions. You will be shaping admin user experiences by exploring product ideas, testing what’s technically possible, and building solutions that meet the needs of large-scale organisations. You will also be championing operational excellence, from resolving tricky backend issues and improving observability to jumping in as part of our on-call rotation. You will also be guiding architecture decisions for high-volume, high-data services β€” making sure what we build is robust, scalable, and enterprise-ready.
