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.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

  • Design, develop, and maintain reusable frontend components and libraries using modern JavaScript frameworks and tools
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand requirements and ensure seamless integration of frontend libraries
  • Optimize frontend libraries for performance, accessibility, and maintainability
  • Implement testing strategies and ensure code quality through automated testing
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest frontend technologies and best practices
  • Mentor and guide junior frontend developers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement

You're probably a match if have/are

  • Proficient in JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and modern frontend frameworks (React, Angular, Vue.js)
  • Extensive experience with frontend build tools (Webpack, Rollup, Babel)
  • Familiarity with testing frameworks (Jest, Enzyme, Cypress)
  • Strong understanding of web performance optimization techniques
  • Experience in developing and maintaining frontend libraries/frameworks
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
  • Minimum 5 years of experience in frontend development

About the Team

The Frontend Core Libraries team is dedicated to empowering Canva's frontend developers by maintaining and enhancing our essential libraries like React and MobX. Our mission is to ensure that these powerful tools are utilized to their fullest potential, which sometimes involves delving deep into their internal source code to optimize performance and integrate new features seamlessly. We are committed to pushing the boundaries of frontend development, providing robust and efficient solutions that enhance user experience across the board.

We're currently focused on critical initiatives that support our company-wide goal of driving innovation and excellence in every project. By fine-tuning the foundational tools used by our developers, we play a crucial role in sustaining Canva's growth and ensuring its usability for millions of users globally. Whether it's refining state management with MobX or leveraging the latest React features, our team is at the forefront of frontend technology.

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 stack 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

We make hiring decisions based on your experience, skills and passion, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. When you apply, please tell us the pronouns you use and any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process.
