Job Description

Where and how you can work

Our flagship campus is in Sydney, Australia but Austria is home to part of our European operations. And with that you will have choice in how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're nearby), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.

Fun fact - our Austrian team actually started out as Kaleido before being acquired by us in 2021. Kaleido's product team develops visual AI products, that make complex things simple for users. Now, together we deliver visual AI features within Canva to help reimagine how artificial intelligence can be used in design. We think it's a perfect match.

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.

In this role, you'll collaborate closely with our Frontend and Machine Learning Teams to solve complex system engineering problems and deliver a delightful experience to our users.

Your tasks

• Help us evolve designify.com and Product Photos over 2023 and beyond.
• Contribute to the evolving backend tech stack as part of a highly functional and passionate team.
• Work in close collaboration with the AI/ML and Frontend teams in Australia and Austria to deliver cutting-edge functionality.
• Write and test high-quality, reliable code in Java.
• Lead and deliver medium-sized projects in an autonomous way.

Requirements

• Firmly grounded computer science and engineering fundamentals including concurrency, multithreading, data structures, solution design, architecture, and design patterns.
• Commercial experience developing complex web applications in Java.
• Familiarity with AWS Cloud Infrastructure and services such as EC2, ECS, and Terraform.
• Experience in designing and working with distributed systems that need to scale and be robust to sustain heavy traffic.
• Know-How of tooling and concepts behind CI/CD.

Benefits

• Work in one of the fastest-growing visual AI startups in Austria surrounded by like-minded people. Our visual AI products are industry-leading solutions that are easing the life of more than 25 million people globally every month.
• Be a part of the Canva family. Our collaboration with teams around the globe supercharges our work to empower the world to design. Canva’s success story is unique - and you benefit from it by participating in the company stock option program.
• Join an international team in Vienna (more than 65 people from 25 nationalities) and collaborate with lots of smart, like-minded people who love to ship quickly and you get to know the space of visual AI.

• We care about our employees and we believe mental health should be a priority, just like taking care of our bodies and staying in shape. We provide mental health support through an online platform specialized in professional counseling.
• Your lunch and your commute with Wiener Linien are on us. You can also find unlimited snacks, coffee, and beverages in our office.
• You receive a yearly allowance for professional education & personal well-being as well as additional leave days for volunteering.
