Canva’s Commitment and Mission

At Canva, we celebrate diversity. We deeply believe that bringing together diversity of thoughts, perspectives and expression is key to building the best product, team and company. We look for many different skills and abilities, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. So, even if you don’t think you quite meet all of the skills listed or tick all the boxes, we’d still love to hear from you!

Our mission at Canva is to empower the world to design and since launching in 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing over 100+ million monthly active users across 190 different countries and a team of over 3,000 people… and the best bit is that we’ve only achieved 1% of what we know we’re capable of.

Join us and design your future.

The Observability Team is responsible for all operational insights inside Canva. Our goal is to provide our development team with world-class tools to view how their services are performing in production. We achieve this by combining industry-leading third-party solutions with our own in-house developed solutions. We work across the entire stack maintaining our metrics and logging Java libraries, our logging and metrics infrastructure, error and alert routing, and our incident management process to name just a few. As we scale all of these areas require more sophisticated solutions to ensure that Canva developers can continue to grow without compromising on reliability or availability.

Responsibilities

  • Be proactive in modernizing our Observability tooling and participate in brainstorming and POC’ing to determine how we can improve our existing systems
  • Become an expert on the area of Observability and evangelise the benefits of proper instrumentation throughout the organisation
  • Help build new features into our Logging and Alerting pipelines to ensure that people are getting notified for errors that are related to their domains
  • Help develop solutions to solve difficult problems such as how to deal with high-cardinality metrics which we can’t solve with our existing tooling
  • Guide and mentor people on the team and help them grow out their skills and knowledge

Required experience and background

  • Comfortable and happy to code in Python, Java or Golang
  • Deep knowledge and understanding of Computer Engineering fundamentals and first principles
  • Experience with Observability tooling – having competency with tools like Datadog, Elasticsearch, Kibana, Loggly, Sentry, or similar
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code, we’re a Terraform shop, but strong experience with other IaC tools will do the trick
  • The ability to guide and mentor other members within the team and improve the way we collaborate, learn, and share ideas
  • This role requires a lot of documentation and internal client-facing; therefore strong written and verbal communication skills are required

Not essential; but helpful experience

  • Experience with OpenTelemetrty because it’s going to underpin a lot of the tooling the team owns.
  • Experience writing application code in Java since we also maintain the metrics, tracing and logging java libraries.
  • Experience building and running monitoring infrastructure at a large scale. For example, Terabyte-scale Elasticsearch clusters, Prometheus, Kibana, Grafana, etc
  • Experience with data handling at scale (collection, storage and visualization)

Perks and Benefits

  • Competitive salary, plus stock options via our ESOP plan
  • Flexible daily working hours, we value work-life balance
  • Breakfast and lunch prepared by our wonderful Vibe team
  • Onsite-Gym and Yoga Membership
  • End-of-Trip Facilities: Bicycle parking and showers
  • Generous parental (including secondary) leave policy
  • Pet-friendly offices
  • Internal Coaches and an Employee Wellness Program
  • Sponsored social clubs, team events, and celebrations
  • Relocation budget for interstate or overseas individuals (including visa sponsorship)
