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 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.

About Incident Response

We’re seeking talented individuals who will be responsible for shaping what security engineering looks like at Canva by building out our capability for detecting and responding to threats targeting our software and systems, performing security assessments, building the tooling to detect and respond to threats, and advising our development teams on how to bake security into our products and features.

Role Responsibilities

  • Actively respond to security events from detection through to resolution, including the rollout of solutions and mitigations to prevent a recurrence
  • Actively monitor Canva’s internal and production systems for possible attacks and intrusions
  • Proactively run threat detection exercises and search for anomalous behaviour
  • Build out and develop the tools and foundations for security incident alerting, management, communication, and response
  • Maintain incident response documentation, participate in post-incident reviews, and contribute to incident reports
  • Participate in the on-call roster for security incident response
  • Assist in the promotion of a security mindset and the establishment of best practices across a wide range of security areas: secure development, cryptography, network security, security operations, and incident response
  • Identify trends, research, new technologies, and emerging threats models, which may impact the business
  • Contribute to projects that enhance the security posture of the business

Role Requirements

  • First and foremost, have a curious detective mindset and be driven to solve ambiguous problems with simple solutions
  • Knowledge of web protocols, common attacks, and a working knowledge of Linux/Unix tools and architecture
  • Exposure to the cloud! Ideally AWS, but GCP or Azure would be completely fine!
  • Documentation, communication, and stakeholder management skills; the ability to work alongside technical and non-technical colleagues
  • The ability to prioritize multiple tasks and projects in a dynamic environment
  • Familiarity with a modern programming or scripting language (Python, Java, Golang, etc.)
  • Previous experience in Security - Engineering, Operations, Incident Response, Analysis, or Threat Research is a bonus, but not a requirement
  • Prior commercial experience in a Systems or Software Engineering role is also a bonus, but not a requirement
