About The Team
Platform Workflows is part of the Developer Workflows subgroup. Our vision is an infrastructure platform that can rapidly evolve to meet fast-changing business needs, with current functionality delivered in days, not weeks. We empower platform engineers to deliver value quickly, safely and confidently, building paved paths that accelerate platform development. The Workflows teams, Web, Backend and Platform form the “glue” between Canva engineers and the platform teams. We own the paved path developer experience and help create the tools, services, and configuration necessary for the platform to accelerate all Canvanauts. This role blends developer advocacy, product management and platform engineering. While all team members write code day-to-day, we also consult with users and shape roadmaps to meet needs. It requires customer empathy and consulting ability beyond typical software engineering roles.
