Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, ??, 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—you trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

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.

We'll give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, these will likely evolve.

At the moment, this role is focused on :

Leading the technical delivery of the new Metrics Platform from foundation to scale.

Building tools and infrastructure that enable teams to standardise, explore, and act on key business metrics.

Collaborating closely with Product, Data Science, and TPMs to deliver features like segmentation, annotations, alerting, and root cause analysis.

Laying the groundwork for AI-driven analytics across Canva's product organisation.

Growing and nurturing a high-performing, multi-disciplinary engineering team.

Driving usage, feedback loops, and adoption through fast iteration cycles.

You're probably a match if :

You've led platform teams before—especially in the data or metrics space—and love building 0?1.

You bring deep backend expertise, and are comfortable working across data infrastructure, semantic models, and internal tools.

You've delivered products that are technically complex but intuitive to use—especially for internal teams.

You enjoy mentoring engineers and building an engineering culture rooted in empathy, velocity, and excellence.

You're comfortable with ambiguity and love bringing clarity and direction to big technical challenges.

You think in systems and are excited by the opportunity to shape how thousands of Canvanauts understand and act on metrics.

About the team

The Metrics Platform team sits within Product Insights Enablement (PIE)—a group dedicated to unlocking smarter, faster product development at Canva.

PIE builds "Pilot," our internal experimentation platform, and is now expanding into centralised metrics management.

This new team will create a source of truth for company-wide business metrics—powering everything from performance reviews to AI-driven insights.

What's in it for you?

Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard—and we do—but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity, and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too.

We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.

Here's a taste of what's on offer :

Equity packages – we want our success to be yours too

Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers

An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more

Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and support you personally
