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

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:

• Building and evolving cloud governance capabilities such as the Compliance Engine, Cloud Account Factory, and metadata systems that enforce guardrails, enhance visibility, and ensure Canva’s cloud environments remain compliant and low-risk.

• Abstract cloud complexity for engineers by designing and maintaining foundational platforms and services that make deploying to the cloud seamless, scalable, and safe, enabling product teams to focus on impact.

• Drive operational excellence across cloud infrastructure by collaborating with Engineering Governance and Core Infrastructure teams to uplift Canva’s overall cloud posture, reduce risk, and promote industry-leading best practices.

You're probably a match if:

• You code in Golang or Python: You’re confident with one and keen to upskill in the other.
• You bring engineering depth: Strong foundational knowledge of computer engineering principles underpins how you solve problems.
• You know cloud inside-out: Especially AWS - you’ve worked with services like EKS, EC2, Lambda, DynamoDB, RDS, and S3 (or similar from another provider).
• You design with purpose: Your cloud architecture experience is scalable, secure, and cost-conscious.
• You automate everything: You’re fluent in infrastructure-as-code (we use Terraform, but we welcome experience with others).
• You own your goals: Whether working solo or with a team, you take ownership, track progress, and deliver outcomes.
• You lift others up: You mentor, guide, and improve collaboration across the team.
• You’re curious and collaborative: You love diving into unfamiliar territory, solving challenges creatively, and connecting short-term actions to long-term goals.

About the team

You'll be joining the Cloud Enablement team who ensure Canva's cloud environments remain low-risk, compliant with industry-leading best practices, and simple for engineers to use. Our mission is to make deploying to the cloud seamless, safe, and scalable. We build and maintain foundational capabilities such as the Compliance Engine, Cloud Account Factory, and rich metadata systems that provide visibility and guardrails for cloud resources. By doing so, we help engineers focus on delivering impact without getting bogged down by complexity or compliance concerns.

The Cloud Enablement team is part of Engineering Governance, which resides with the Core Infrastructure group whose mission is to reduce the complexity of using the Cloud. We're responsible for building a platform that enables cloud adoption whilst minimising risk introduced to the business. Our teams work together, and with other groups, to deliver services, processes and best practices that uplift the posture of Canva's cloud footprint. We do this by driving operational excellence and building products that abstract the complexities of the cloud away.
