Senior Frontend Engineer - Editing Platform - Canva

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

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. 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. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you. 


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.

The Role and the Team

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Senior Frontend Software Engineer to join our Export Team, a vital service within our company responsible for orchestrating the seamless download of over 200 million user designs per week. The Export Team's mission is to empower our users by providing them with the ability to download their designs in various formats and on multiple platforms, all while scaling beyond infrastructure limits. To achieve this, the team collaborates closely with several other platform teams.

As a Senior Frontend Software Engineer in the Export Team, your primary responsibility will be to ensure a user-friendly and smooth export experience. We are in the process of forming a new "Download" team within the Export Team, which will work hand-in-hand with the existing team. This "Download" team will take ownership of the "Download" publish option, enabling our Editing Platform to have complete control over the "Download a design (image, pdf)" user flow.

Your role will be pivotal in this endeavour as you will work closely with multiple stakeholders across different teams. You will be instrumental in crafting a seamless and efficient download process for our users. As the first frontend engineers to join the Export Team, you will play a crucial role in shaping the team's direction and establishing best practices.


Joining our Export Team presents an exciting opportunity to work on a core service that directly impacts millions of users worldwide. If you are passionate about frontend development, have a strong desire to build exceptional user experiences, and thrive in a collaborative and innovative environment, we encourage you to apply and be part of our dynamic Export Team.
