Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
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.
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.
This Staff Software Engineer role is responsible for driving one of the most exciting changes in Canva's frontend stack and tackling unique technical challenges in the design system domain. The majority of Canva's MAU is now mobile, and we’re evolving our tech stack to catch up. Very few companies have attempted a web to React Native migration at this scale, and fewer design systems get the opportunity to create a “universal” component library that works across both native mobile and web.
We're extending our existing React web component library, which already powers of all of Canva's UI, into a portable React component library that renders via React DOM on web and via React Native on mobile. UI defined once, rendered everywhere. We'll do this by absorbing cross-platform complexity into the design system layer, which means this role is at the frontier of figuring out the right abstractions before product teams ever have to think about them.
This is a high impact role, with multiple prominent Canva surfaces relying on this infrastructure to ship mobile-first experiences before the end of 2026.
