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 Experiences group recently scaled to 25+ engineers across three large teams who build our App Marketplace, Developer Portal, and SDKs (including developer tooling, starter kit, examples, docs, etc.).

As the Engineering Manager of this subgroup, you will be responsible for building impactful and cohesive teams aligned in reaching the group’s vision. You will play a vital role in setting the engineering strategy to ensure we offer secure and reliable products while managing debt and delivery tradeoffs as we work toward our crazy big goals. An outstanding opportunity in this role is that the customers are developers, which means Canva engineers can bring insights into our product roadmap.

Drive vision-setting, strategy and planning for the group in collaboration with Product and Design.

Collaborate with Canva engineers to scope and solve complex problems that are highly impactful to Ecosystem goals.

Coach three engineering managers and some of the individual contributors out of the wider group of 25+ engineers.

Create impactful and highly engaged teams of elite engineers building for billions of users.

Nurture the progression of current members within the team, crafting a team for the present and future needs of Canva.

Drive planning, refinement and delivery of seasonal goals, ensuring alignment across the group and teams.

Job Requirements

Experience leading multiple successful teams through leading leaders guided by company or specialty missions, goals, and strategies.

Prior experience working in teams that support developers is beneficial but not required (such as a public ecosystem or internal platform teams).

Be a thought leader while working collaboratively with engineers and PMs to build a fabulous product for Canva Users and Developers.

Use your experience as a software engineer to lead engineering strategy by driving pragmatic tradeoffs and prioritizing tech projects such as scaling and debt recovery at the right time.

Proven expertise in inspiring others to achieve their full potential and enabling the leaders within your organization to build diverse, impactful teams

Be capable of leading by example – promoting Canva’s values, no-blame mentality, and engineering values.
