Job Description

Job Description

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, we 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

Frontend roles at Canva can vary a lot from team to team—each offering its own unique challenges and opportunities. You might be crafting rich, interactive experiences in the Canva Editor used by millions, or shaping end-to-end journeys on surfaces like Canva Docs, Presentations, and Websites. You could contribute to cutting-edge Magic Studio features powered by AI, or help launch fast-paced product experiments that drive real impact. With multiple teams hiring frontend engineers, we’d love to learn what excites you most and find the right fit for your passions and strengths.

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. As a General Guide, Here’s What a Frontend Engineer At This Level Typically Focuses On Day To Day

  • Leading the design and development of performant, delightful user interfaces using modern frontend frameworks
  • Driving collaboration with PMs, designers, and fellow engineers to scope, define, and deliver impactful product features
  • Evolving and scaling Canva’s frontend architecture through reusable component libraries and shared design systems
  • Championing accessibility, performance, and engineering best practices across multiple product surfaces
  • Writing robust, well-tested code and proactively identifying areas for technical improvement or refactor
  • Guiding design and code reviews, mentoring peers, and raising the technical bar for your team

You're probably a match if

  • You are highly experienced in building complex, user-facing applications using modern frontend technologies (we use React and TypeScript)
  • You have strong JavaScript fundamentals and a deep understanding of the web platform
  • You’re comfortable taking ownership of features end-to-end—from architecture to delivery—and thrive in environments where you drive the "how"
  • You balance attention to detail with pragmatism, and consistently ship quality code at speed
  • You’re a thoughtful collaborator who works well across disciplines and proactively brings others on the journey
  • You understand the bigger picture—how your work connects to product goals, user experience, and long-term scalability
  • You enjoy mentoring others, offering constructive feedback, and lifting the technical bar for your team
  • Engineering at Canva

    Join a vibrant engineering community solving complex problems for millions of users, world wide. Here, engineering is about more than writing great code. It’s about rapidly iterating to deliver real value for users - building a product that empowers the world to design.

    We care deeply about craft and collaborate closely to achieve hugely ambitious goals. We mentor and support one another generously, grounded in a culture of ownership, purpose, and a shared commitment to excellence.

    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 supports you personally
  • Check out lifeatcanva.com for more info.

    Other Stuff To Know

    We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. We see AI as a powerful amplifier of creativity and technology at Canva. We’re evolving how we assess AI skills in our Technology hiring experience - you’ll tackle interactive, real-time challenges that reflect the kind of work we do. In some interviews, you may also be asked to solve a problem using an AI tool to show how you approach challenges with tech by your side.

    Please note that interviews are conducted virtually.
