Hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora,你好, hallo, vítejte!
Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point. 

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. 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.

About Identity & Access Software Engineers

At Canva, we’re all constantly striving towards our Crazy Big Goals! As the features and services of our product suite evolve, we’re setting some large and ambitious goals. We need to be able to ship robust and secure features without sacrificing speed and scale of delivery, which is where our Backend Engineers come in. 
As a Backend Engineer in Identity and Access, it is your mission to build identity, authentication and authorisation systems that make the “secure path” the easiest path for software engineers and all Canvanauts to follow.

The Security Group is responsible for protecting Canva systems and data from information security threats. Our teams work together, and with other groups, to deliver preventive and detective controls and processes that reduce security risk.
The group runs programs across Identity and Access Management, Application Security, Risk Management, Threat Detection, Response and Red Teams.

• Support a security-first engineering culture by making the optimally secure solution the easiest one for software engineering teams to use.
• Developing and iterating on technical proposals – outlining how solutions will be structured and developed.
• Developing solutions you’ve designed from the ground up through to deployment into production.
• Identifying and addressing performance bottlenecks within the application and broader infrastructure.
• Participating in design meetings, hiring interviews, and code reviews.
• Performance debugging, benchmarking and building awesome things in general.

Beneficial Experience (Not Required, but Helpful):
