About the group / team
The Security Group is responsible for protecting Canva systems and data from information security threats. The group runs programs across Identity and Access Management, Application Security, Risk Management, Enterprise Security, and Threat Detection and Response domains. Our teams work together, and with other groups, to deliver preventive and detective controls and processes that reduce security risk. Security Platform Engineering (SPE) is a new team to develop and drive adoption of high security consequence features into Canva's platforms for all engineers at Canva to leverage.
The Security Platform Engineering team takes charge of solving security-specific problems, using security domain expertise to unblock engineering to work on Canva-differentiating features. Our vision is to empower every engineer to build secure code with ease, through establishing a suite of paved roads for engineers to consume.
Role Responsibilities :
Design and implement security platform features that enable Canva's teams to move safely and quickly. Own the full lifecycle of features, from design docs and stakeholder alignment through implementation, testing, rollout, and maintenance. Facilitate knowledge sharing and effectively advocate for engineering needs to non-technical stakeholders within the group. Model initiative and ownership in achieving goals, improving processes and solutions. Identify opportunities for cross-team collaboration to work on new ideas and improvements that help achieve our goals. Champion adoption of security platform features across Canva's engineering teams. Required Experience :
You have 3-5+ years of experience in one or more programming languages (Java / Rust), and can directly contribute to the design and implementation of features. This is the ideal role for someone who is motivated by designing and building platform features within the security domain, while owning the whole solution end-to-end. You have extensive experience in developing clean, readable, and maintainable code; the libraries and tools developed by the team are used by hundreds of developers at Canva, so they need to be easily understandable. You are comfortable with computer science and engineering fundamentals such as concurrency and data structures. Experience improving testing frameworks and strategies, e.g., unit testing, system testing, and integration testing. Nice to have :
Experience in a security domain (application sandboxing, encryption, authN / Z, etc.) is a plus. Experience with infrastructure tools like Terraform, Helm, K8s, or similar. Experience with Linux security fundamentals such as cgroups, namespaces, seccomp, etc. Experience securing or building on cloud-based environments (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure). What's in it for you?
Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity, and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.
Here's a taste of what's on offer :
Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too. Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers. An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more. Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and support you personally. Check out lifeatcanva.com for more info.
