Job Description
Canva’s Commitment and Mission
At Canva, we celebrate diversity. We deeply believe that bringing together diversity of thoughts, perspectives and expression is key to building the best product, team and company. We look for many different skills and abilities, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. So, even if you don’t think you quite meet all of the skills listed or tick all the boxes, we’d still love to hear from you!
Our mission at Canva is to empower the world to design and since launching in 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing over 86 million monthly active users across 190 different countries and a team of over 3,000 people… and the best bit is that we’ve only achieved 1% of what we know we’re capable of.
Join us and design your future.
The Ecosystem group contributes to Canva’s growth towards 1 billion users by crafting an abundant app ecosystem that tailors to the diverse needs of our users across all demographics. We are launching a new and improved Canva API (currently in Alpha) that gives developers more power and flexibility with the potential to build what we cannot imagine!
The Ecosystem strategy involves three priorities:
- Build and scale the Canva API to enable deep integrations into (and outside of) Canva’s editor product
- Build a truly fabulous experience for our developers and their customers.
- Building high-quality integrations with strategic partners to benefit Canva’s users.
About the role
As part of the Canva API sub-group, the Content and Media Capabilities team is on a mission to support the Ecosystem strategy. Initially, this will be achieved by investing in engineering to improve the maintainability and robustness of our APIs, and in the future to expand the capabilities on offer. The APIs allow for the import and retrieval of media (vector, raster and video) which is a key functionality that the majority of Canva’s 80+ Million Monthly Active Users depend on when they are designing content. Collaboration with 2-3 other internal teams is part of the role.
The team lead is responsible for driving the product direction, providing technical guidance to the team, growing engineers, and collaborating with multi-functional leaders on roadmap goals and achievements. You will be working closely with our API teams to ensure consistency across Canva’s public API surface areas.
Job Requirement
What you'll do
You will lead and coach a team of 3-5 engineers focused on building and operating the Content and Media Capability APIs. You will be accountable for team delivery and ongoing delivery improvements.

You will contribute to the technical strategy by representing one of the four Canva API teams in the larger Ecosystem group of eight. You will work with Canva API teams to ensure consistency across our APIs surface areas as you contribute to our API design guidelines. You will seek exciting opportunities to improve the general experience of building apps using our developer platform. You will be a hands-on leader contributing directly to goal progress with code.
About you
You are a technical and people leader - having led successful teams where everyone can share their best ideas and be their best selves. Most of our code is in Java, so ideally you will be comfortable using Java (or another similar object-oriented programming language) We run on AWS so you would have a proven understanding of Lambda, SQS and S3 You understand the product life cycle, features, technical debt, QA, and supporting quality at speed. You will know when you need to push back, shielding the team from disruptions. You will provide a safe environment that helps to bring clarity.
