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.

About Application Security Engineers

At Canva, we’re all constantly striving towards our Crazy Big Goals! As the features and services of our product suite evolve, we’re setting some large and adventurous goals. We need to be able to ship robust and secure features without sacrificing speed and scale of delivery, which is where our Security Engineers come in.

As an Application Security Engineer, it is your mission to make delivering secure products and features the easiest path for Software Engineers to follow. A significant vessel for this mission is our Security Champions program: a program applying education, culture and technical knowledge sharing, to enable our growing engineering Canvanauts to effectively engage with a preventative approach to security.

As a Security Champions specialist, your focus will be continuously growing, improving and facilitating the Security Champions program. This will complement your other responsibilities as an Application Security Engineer as you build upon how the entire company delivers secure products to our Community throughout the product delivery process.

About the Security Group

The Security Group is responsible for protecting Canva systems and data from information security threats. Our teams work together, and with other groups, to deliver preventive and detective controls and processes that reduce security risk.

The group runs programs across Identity and Access Management, Application Security, Risk Management, and Threat Detection and Response domains.

  • Advising engineers on system and application security best practices and design patterns

  • Proficient with one or more modern program languages (Golang, Python or Java preferred)
  • Experience in working in close proximity to software engineers outside the security speciality
