Job Description
About the team
This year, the Content Design Empowerment team is on a mission to transform how users create and customise design elements in Canva. Our group focuses on making elements fully customisable, editable, and stylistically cohesive through brilliant algorithms and ML/LLM processing. We're working to solve key user pain points around finding cohesive elements, applying consistent styles, and reducing manual editing work.
The Content Design Empowerment team is building innovative features to help users create visually cohesive designs with less effort. Currently, we’re working on tools to personalise design starting points and restyling elements to match a design aesthetic. Our work directly impacts millions of users who rely on Canva's elements to create professional, cohesive designs every day.
At The Moment, You Will Be Focused On
* Building out editing experiences that make elements fully customisable and stylistically consistent across designs
* Collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders from content leadership, design experience, legal, and creators' royalties teams
* Creating performant, reliable features that handle complex transformations with minimal latency
* Pioneering new approaches to visual consistency that make design creation faster and more intuitive for users
* Contributing to the frontend architecture that powers intelligent editing and discovery experiences
You're probably a match if
* You have 5+ years of experience building complex, performant web applications with modern JavaScript (React, TypeScript)
* Are firmly grounded in computer science and engineering fundamentals, including concurrency, multithreading, data structures, solution design, architecture, and design patterns
* Have deep expertise in building complex UI components that balance performance, visual quality, and user experience
* Are skilled at making careful engineering trade-offs that consider technical constraints while delivering high user value
* Have experience working with design systems and understand how to build cohesive visual experiences
* Can lead and drive technical initiatives across multiple teams and help define best practices
* Have a proven track record of independently delivering on complex technical problems with high impact
* Demonstrate strong communication skills and can effectively collaborate with designers, product managers, and other engineers.
