Staff Frontend Engineer - Editing Performance - 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.
About the Team
The Editing Performance team is responsible for making the Editor lightning fast and scaling it to support the growing number of ways that people are designing with Canva.
Editing performance is a broad area. It includes things like page load, latency of interactions, jank/dropped frames, memory usage (and associated OOM crashes) and more.
Even more than that, we want users to feel that Canva is fast. Performance issues should never be a reason why we can’t launch a new feature or businesses are unable to use the product.
Our goal is for the Canva editor to be fast for everyone. All platforms. All devices. All network connections. All designs and doctypes.
About the Role
On Editing Performance, we have a few overlapping streams of work:
Measuring performance. This is critical to identifying areas to prioritize, tracking our progress and monitoring for regressions. This involves developing robust fit-for-purpose metrics, scalable frameworks and functional dashboards to provide a trusted foundation upon which we can make improvements and empower others. Improving performance. We tackle this by understanding the fundamentals of browsers, rendering and the frontend frameworks we use and pushing them to the limits. Sometimes this involves weeks of investigation and experimentation to find a one line fix, other times we need to completely rearchitect parts of the code. Empowering others to improve performance. Our team cannot be the only team responsible for performance of the editor - all teams need to factor in performance in their work and our goal is to empower others to be able to do this by sharing knowledge, lending our expertise, and developing frameworks.
