Sydney, Österreich Genai Works Vollzeit
  • Full-time
  • Recruitment type: Permanent
Company Description

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 Engineering Manager will be coaching a senior-heavy team of 3 machine-learning engineers and 3 backend engineers. They will be managing the team priorities, overseeing goal delivery and collaborating with other team leads. While coding will not be the main focus of this role, there can still be capacity for some hands-on work.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

  • Leading and coaching a motivated backend and machine-learning team and meaning members of the team on technical approaches.
  • Work with senior members of the team to guide the technical vision while being responsible for break-down and delivery of large projects
  • Design, develop and deploy solutions and hands-on software development – working closely with leads, designers, and product managers
  • Foster a impactful and healthy team via a healthy code review culture, knowledge sharing, design showcases, and process improvements
  • Promote a safe and healthy culture with a focus on collaboration and open communication while advocating for engineering needs to non-technical stakeholders within the group
  • Be accountable for the operation of services (including on-call support as part of the team roster, 1 week out of every 4-6 week)

You're probably a match if

  • Experience leading a team of software engineers building high-performing and collaborative teams, especially managing senior individual contributors.
  • Experience owning and operating services with a healthy balance of delivery leadership, people leadership, and technical skills.
  • Content-Centric Focus: you have a keen interest or prior experience in content-related machine learning projects, such as semantic tagging, content classification, and visual content understanding, is highly desirable.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with Product Managers and other business functions outside of engineering.
  • Have experience proposing platform initiatives and seeing things through end-to-end.
  • Strong customer focus to understand the use cases and requirements of our internal customers.
  • The requirement, although not the main part of the role, is still to be hands on in our backend tech stack - Java and AWS.
