Job Description
As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. You will drive technical strategy for data pipeline workflows, making trade-offs that balance short and long-term needs across multiple teams and domains. You will deeply understand “the 80% workflows” performed by platform engineers day-to-day and how these contribute to the broader mission. You will provide technical expertise to multiple teams and contribute to engineering standards and best practices across Canva.
You will navigate complex stakeholder relationships, translating between technical and business needs while advocating effectively for engineering requirements. You will take significant ownership of configuration frameworks and infrastructure abstraction tools, leading improvements to code structure and reducing technical debt. You will define and roll out new tools, standards, and processes that improve engineering effectiveness across multiple teams.
You will help build and develop the team through effective delegation, mentorship, feedback, and by identifying opportunities for others to grow. You will work alongside the team engineering lead to identify high-value opportunities and ensure the team’s roadmap is always pointing in the right direction. The staff engineering role is a unique blend of developer advocacy, product management and platform engineering.
