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.

About the team

We aim to build the world’s richest Ecosystem of apps and integrations for visual design and communications that supercharge Canva’s ability to meet the diverse needs of a billion users and drive Canva’s MAU growth.

With the proliferation of innovations in generative AI and as large organizations have increasingly complex workflows to manage their designs, Canva is well poised to become the platform that simplifies access and discovery of services related to visual design. We are already working with hundreds of developers to enable access to these exciting products with our Apps SDK and Canva public REST API!

As one of the groups in Ecosystem, the Experiences group is at the heart of our two-sided marketplace between Developers and Canva Users.

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
