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.

At the moment, this role is focused on: Coaching, mentoring, and growing a team that is a mix of machine learning engineers, frontend engineerings, and backend engineers while developing your coaching capability to scale the team and meet the needs of the AI Media team vision. You’ll do this by:

  • being responsible for leading passionate engineers who are building the next stage of generative AI at Canva, leading your team launch new product features, iterate on existing product features, and build a healthy platform for hosting AI models.
  • coaching engineers by providing regular, practical feedback and collaboratively help them reach their personal growth goals.
  • setting clear goals for the team and rally the team to execution on those goals.
  • ensuring that there is a healthy environment for collaboration and the engineering culture within the team is open, pragmatic, and encouraging.
  • owning the team’s development methodology and rituals such as sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives.
  • leading the team’s technical strategy and roadmap in collaboration with your engineers and other stakeholders.
  • writing and reviewing design documents, help break projects down into milestones, and be accountable for project delivery.
You're probably a match if
  • You have proven success in people and technical leadership, with a focus on people leadership and coaching a team of engineers.
  • You have ML and Full Stack experience, which is to say that you have a broad, cross-function background with deep experience in launching machine-learning systems into production as well as significant technical experience with both backend engineering and frontend engineering.
  • Previous experience as a Software Engineer - in tune with software engineering fundamentals and first principles; comfortable contributing to design documents and performing thorough code reviews and at times, coding when needed.
  • Strong ability to influence and work cross-functionally, working with a diverse range of individuals from different backgrounds, with different expertise, and with different professional and personal needs.
  • (Bonus Points) You have experience in generative AI, with a focus on image generation (Stable Diffusion, Huggingface Diffusers, etc).
