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.
Where and how you can work
Our flagship campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. But you have choice in where and how you work. That means if you want to do your thing in the office (if you're near one), at home or a bit of both, it's up to you.
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.
Canva is always looking for ways to ensure the product experience for our users is delightful. Experimentation is one of levers we action to make scientifically informed decisions when releasing new features to the public.
In this role, you will be leading a team of engineers to continue building our experimentation platform and help establish a culture of experimentation at Canva. The team is composed of frontend and backend engineers along with data specialists supporting the data intensive parts of the platform.
The team handles the whole experimentation experience, from formulating an hypothesis, running the A/B testing to the final decision to roll out (or not) the feature.
The team's vision is to empower all Canvanauts to get actionable user feedback and learnings about their product in a fast and reliable way and make well tested and informed decisions.
At the moment, this role is focused on:
