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 — we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

What you'd be doing in this role

As Canva’s most used doctype, Presentations is at the heart of our product experience — and we’re doubling down. With over 100 million monthly active users and bold ambitions to make Presentations the hero journey for AI-first editing, we’re looking for a senior engineering leader to help us scale this product to new heights.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Leading the growth of our Presentations engineering team into multiple squads, spanning frontend and machine learning specialties
• Driving velocity, quality, and delivery across complex, cross-functional work streams
• Partnering with product and design to shape the roadmap and set a bold vision for AI-powered, interactive presentation tools
• Building an inclusive, high-performing culture where engineers can thrive and do the best work of their lives
• Championing engineering excellence and investing in scalable architecture, evergreen services, and sustainable delivery practices
• Connecting short-term execution to long-term strategy — balancing quick wins with foundational bets

You're probably a match if:

• You’re a product-minded engineering leader who deeply values user experience and has a strong track record of delivering intuitive, impactful products.
• You’ve led large teams through complex product delivery — from early concepts to scale
• You’re passionate about people leadership and know how to grow, coach, and inspire strong engineers and future leaders
• You thrive in ambiguity, with a strong ability to align diverse stakeholders and drive toward outcomes
• You bring deep technical experience, and while you may not be in the code daily, you speak the language fluently
• You’ve worked in environments that blend frontend and machine learning — or you're excited to dive in
• You’ve built (or want to build) AI-first, user-loved products at massive scale
• You’re a ruthless prioritiser, and a systems thinker, who can keep teams focused on what matters most

About the team

Presentations is Canva’s most loved format — and it’s just getting started.
