You'll be the crucial link that makes novel model development, training, and evaluation possible, accelerating Canva's cutting‑edge research.

Key Focus Areas

  • Data Acquisition : Developing scalable tools and pipelines for acquiring diverse datasets from multiple sources
  • Curation : Engineering robust solutions for filtering, deduplication, quality assessment, and curating data that meets specific research requirements and model training criteria
  • Data Infrastructure : Developing high‑throughput tools for interfacing with large‑scale data pools, enabling efficient querying, sampling, and extracting valuable statistical insights and patterns

Primary Responsibilities

  • Work alongside research teams to ensure continuous flow of high‑quality data toward active projects, understanding their specific dataset requirements and delivery timelines
  • Curate targeted subsets of data using ML techniques including clustering, embedding‑based similarity search, and automated quality scoring
  • Extract, visualize, and communicate actionable insights about dataset composition, distributions, biases, and statistical properties to inform research decisions
  • Build performant, parallel algorithms for gathering and processing data at scale, optimizing for both throughput and cost‑efficiency across distributed systems
  • Engineer intuitive interfaces and tooling to help researchers explore, sample, and interact with large datasets without requiring deep infrastructure knowledge
  • Work with paired multimodal data (text‑image, audio‑video, etc.), ensuring alignment quality, handling synchronization challenges, and maintaining multimodal correspondence
  • Leverage high‑performance parallel computing frameworks (Ray, Spark, torch.distributed, DeepSpeed, etc) and cloud infrastructure for distributed data operations on petabyte‑scale datasets
  • You’re probably a match if you have :

  • A strong sense, with a background or demonstrated passion for visual design or human‑computer interaction.
  • Strong proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
  • Extensive experience with designing and implementing large‑scale data processing workflows using libraries like Pandas and data warehousing solutions such as Snowflake.
  • Solid understanding of statistical methods, including experimental design, A / B testing, and quality evaluation systems.
  • Experience with generative AI and synthetic data generation is highly desirable.
  • Nice to have :

  • Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure) for data storage, processing, and MLOps related to dataset management.
  • Experience with MLOps practices and tools specifically for data versioning, lineage, and pipeline automation.
  • Ability to develop data visualization or data collection interfaces (e.g., TypeScript, Python).
  • Additional Information
