📋 Description

• Owning an engagement area: Taking long-term accountability for one of Canva's highest-risk technical domains • Writing production software: The work is code, not process • Instrumenting, refactoring, rebuilding the pieces that cause problems at scale • You're a software engineer first; the reliability outcome at scale is what you're optimising for • Opportunity to pair, mentor and learn from fellow production engineers • Striving for fewer incidents, faster recovery, lower severity, latency that bends in the right direction • Taking pride in moving needle metrics, that positively impacts the quality of the customer experience

🎯 Requirements

• Owned reliability work within large-scale distributed systems • Previously worked as an engineer embedded in or partnering closely with a product or feature team, not siloed in a platform org that throws tools over the fence • You've built real things in Java, Go, Rust, C++, or a comparable systems language at production scale; commercial depth, not academic familiarity • Navigated sharding, replication, failure modes, consistency tradeoffs in real systems • Ability to parachute into an unfamiliar codebase, orient quickly, find where the problem actually lives, and fix it • Proven to have made things better in systems through wisdom and trust • You know the network stack and what traffic looks like a scale • Enough kernel-level understanding to reason about what's actually happening when a system misbehaves process scheduling, memory, I/O, network stack • Consistent hashing, leader election, consensus, backpressure, circuit breakers • You've instrumented systems for real, built the tracing, the dashboards, the alerting that actually tells you what's wrong • You've profiled JVM applications or systems-level processes, found the thing nobody was looking at, and fixed it in a way that lasted • AWS at meaningful depth, so you understand how they behave under load and at the edges • You've been on-call in a serious production environment and have opinions about what good incident management actually looks like

🏖️ Benefits

• 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 supports you personally
