About the team

Editing AI is essential in fulfilling Canva's mission to 'empower the world to design' by using AI to automate design decisions for our users, irrespective of their design skill level. By making the editor 'smarter' through AI, you will have a huge impact in driving user growth and retention by taking our product to the next level.

We are exploring new territory. Outside the domain of pixels, Design AI is severely under-developed across the entire tech industry. Whilst conventional modern ML techniques clearly play a role in Design AI, much of it does not easily apply to working with structured design data or operating within the constraints of a browser-based editor. It’s necessary to combine modern ML with low-mid tech algorithms, design domain knowledge, heuristics, and crafty new inventions.

About the role

As our new Engineering Manager you will support a team of 6 (mix of backend and machine learning engineers) to build and iterate on some of Canva's newest AI features.

What you'll do

• Design, develop and deploy solutions to challenging Design AI problems – working closely with MLE's, backend engineers, frontend engineers, designers, and product managers to deliver features and experiments to our users
• Coach, mentor, and strengthen the team through project selection, knowledge sharing and balancing delivery expectations
• Nurture and grow skills in the team including machine learning, colour science, computational geometry, meta heuristics, design principles and related skills
• You will give meaningful input into the engineering direction and strategy for the team
• You will resource plan effectively as the feasibility of our projects are very tightly linked to the skills and strengths of specific engineers
• You will work closely with the Product Manager and ML Engineering Lead to understand and contribute to the product roadmap.
• You will drive the planning and refinement of seasonal goals, ensuring there is alignment between the company, group, and teams.
• You will own and drive the delivery of large, cross-team, and cross-group initiatives and projects from ideation to completion, with autonomy and independence of decision making.

• You are experienced in technical and people leadership, making sound decisions and delivering outcomes on technical projects
• Passion for design. This team works at the intersection of engineering and design so a genuine desire or proven experience in this would be a huge bonus
• Commercial experience in Machine Learning or as a Backend Engineer in a related domain
• The ability to support the team to balance exploratory/innovative work with high priority feature delivery
• You can effectively communicate (inside the team and outside) the value of short- and long-term features, translating technical details to the business value, building support and trust from team members.
• Proven track record in running long-term engineering projects in the ML space

If this sounds like you, apply today to inject more Canva 'magic' (through AI/ML) into the Canva editor, empowering our 135 million users to create beautiful designs.

What's in it for you?

Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a stack of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.

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 the role

At Canva, our mission is to empower the world to design, and we’re looking for an experienced data analyst who can help us make that happen.

For this particular role, we're looking for someone with particular analytics or data science experience in the Growth world, ideally in the SaaS space. We don’t want you to just be a resource that answers questions - we want you to act as a genuine data partner with the group leadership and broader business. We need a proactive thinker who isn’t afraid to be bold and identify large-scale plays.

About the team

Our Growth Supergroup exists to drive Canva’s user & revenue growth through product-led growth strategies that demonstrate the full value of Canva’s products to our users.

We are responsible for the overall revenue growth from our business customers, by driving adoption of our subscription products: Canva Pro & Enterprise. 

Growing our adoption and expansion in teams & businesses of all sizes is a core company strategy for Canva. Our group is doubling down on our premium teams products and new product initiatives for businesses, as well as building up a high-performing cross-functional GTM organisation consisting of Product, Growth, Marketing, Sales, Data & more, to supercharge our growth.

With all this hypergrowth happening, the team has been scaling up immensely from 3 data professionals to 30 in a matter of 24 months! We have a strong leadership and coaching structure in place, but are really looking for that lead Individual Contributor (IC) who is deeply technical and business-savvy.

In partnership with the Growth Supergroup Data Lead you will take on both the hot topics of the moment, as well as the longer-term deep-dives that will help our business leaders shape the direction and strategy our supergroup takes. One example of work would be taking ownership of a new product plan affecting the entire company, building out reports and insights that tell the business how users are changing their team formation behaviour. At the same time, you’ll be looking at the 100+ monthly experiments at a metadata level and advising our growth team where you see the most impact being made and where we should double-down.

Role Responsibilities

• This role will rely on your particular strengths and experience in building out data-driven decisions, communicating closely with stakeholders, and maintaining a highly proactive attitude. Specific examples of responsibilities are outlined below:
• Lead by example with data deep-dives and insight production via SQL, Python or R
• Partner with other analysts to coordinate larger insight projects across several different groups
• Pair up with Machine Learning Engineers to build out a sustainable and scalable personalisation framework. You don’t need to be a machine learning expert, but you should understand this space quite well.
• Act as the Supergroup ‘SWAT’ team, ready to jump into the biggest problems that nobody else has the capacity for
• Advise senior business stakeholders in the Growth Supergroup, Finance, and Strategy & Analysis in regards to major trends or insights

• Strong competency with SQL; experience with data warehouses such as Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery is a plus!
• Strong communication skills - verbal and written - be able to break down complex topics into simple solutions and ideas. Stakeholder management skills are vital in this role.
• Experience wrangling and analysing data using Python or R

• Experience working with subscription-based data sets. It would be desirable to have experience with collaborative products as well

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.

In this role, you'll be in a key position to make our ambitious goals in the AI-based photo editing space happen. By using innovative deep-learning techniques, you'll help deliver magical photo editing tools to our users, allowing them to edit the whole image or just a part of it. Talking about users: With us, you work on a huge scale. Our global design community has created more than 15 billion designs in Canva, and your work will impact the lives of more than 135 Million monthly Canva users.

Tasks

• Work collaboratively as part of a team of machine learning engineers, frontend engineers, backend developers, designers, and quality assurance engineers to develop, implement, and improve Canva AI features such as Auto-Adjust, Smart Crop, Magic Eraser, and Magic Edit that will be used by more than 135 million users every month and make a global impact.
• Take ownership of the ML projects you are working on (refer to above’s list of established AI features): We have many novel products in our pipeline that we can’t write about publicly right now :-). You will be driving the planning of the project and iterating on the AI features to achieve the best and most magical solution possible in order to foster innovation at Canva.
• Staying updated on machine learning trends is crucial for your role. It ensures that the features we release in Canva empower users to design and edit photos using the latest technology and gives Canva an enthusiastic edge in a constantly evolving technological landscape.
• Study best practices, develop untried approaches, work on prototypes, e.g. for latent diffusion-based photo editing or for object detection and instance segmentation, and evaluate the performance.
• Experiment on large-scale cloud infrastructure (GCP and AWS) with high-end hardware, being mostly NVIDIA A10 and A100 Tensor Core GPUs.
• Analyze internal and external data sources, and generate, collect, and prepare data with commercial licensing in mind. Collaborate with our internal data generation team as well as with external partners.
• Set up data augmentation pipelines and perform hyper-parameter searches to build production-ready AI solutions that meet the quality requirements of photo editing effects in Canva.
• Implement automated testing and suitable metrics to monitor the performance of our AI features in production.
• Be part of our On-call rosters. At Canva, we believe a healthy on-call culture enables and empowers our engineers to give our users the best possible experience.

• You have a Master's (ideally Ph.D.) degree in Computer Science (or similar), focusing on machine learning. Published papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences would be a valuable addition.
• You have a solid understanding of computer vision, especially the concepts of convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformers, generative adversarial networks, and diffusion models.
• Proficiency with the following technologies is required to be set up for success in this position: Deep learning frameworks (Pytorch gives bonus points, other frameworks like Tensorflow or JAX), Python 3, Numpy, OpenCV, Docker & Kubernetes.
• You substantially understand modern software engineering principles, Python 3 classes and inheritance, multithreading, testing, and QA to write clean code.
• You are familiar with convolutional neural networks for tasks such as image classification and segmentation: As a visual AI company, we primarily work with images and videos.
• Nice to have: Experience with JavaScript, node.js, react, typescript, or (WebGL) shaders to prototype new AI features in our internal, flexible, and easy-to-use testing environment.
• Our projects require picking up knowledge of the state-of-the-art of a specific ML topic quickly (Example 1, Example 2) since most projects start with a phase of literature research and communicating the context to the team (across timezones).
• You have a proven sense of ownership and are eager to find and develop novel solutions to challenging problems, such as developing ML models for processing large images (having up to 24 megapixels) in a memory-efficient and runtime-efficient manner proactively.
• You are an excellent communicator and teammate, keen to work with your colleagues and brainstorm ideas together.
• To be employed by Canva for this role, you need to live and work from a country where Canva has an entity set up - you can find all our office locations here.

We are required by law to state the minimum salary for this position, which is at least EUR 60,000 gross per year. We pay competitive salaries - depending on your qualifications and experience - and you also get to participate in the company’s stock option program.

What's in it for you?

Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a stack of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.
