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. This role sits at the heart of one of Canva’s most exciting bets — Generative AI.

From model integration to infrastructure optimisation, you’ll shape the systems that make magical AI experiences possible.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

• Leading a team of backend engineers building the core services that power generative media across Canva

• Driving model integration, vendor orchestration, and inference infrastructure to enable fast, reliable onboarding of new AI capabilities

• Optimising cost, latency, and performance across multi-modal AI systems (image, video, 3D)
