About the team

Video at Canva is embarking on an exciting journey that will shape the future of video editing and social media content creation for millions of users globally. In the next few months, we will deliver a customer-centric, intuitive and powerful video editing platform that seamlessly integrates with the Canva ecosystem to unlock the full potential of the Visual Suite. This enhanced editing experience will make it far easier for social media users to bring their ideas to life, and create engaging and professional content that stands out.

The Video Platform team works at the forefront of innovation with industry-leading technology, making substantial investments in building a robust tech stack that not only meets but exceeds industry standards through improved architecture, ensuring performance, fidelity and user-centric design. We own the foundational components that power the features that delight our customers, solving complex technical problems around video composition, rendering, and orchestration that enable seamless video editing and playback experiences. Our work directly impacts Canva's mission to democratise design by making professional video creation accessible to everyone, from social media creators to enterprise users.

About the role

We're looking for a Senior Engineering Manager who thrives in the complex technical space of video platform engineering and isn't afraid to dive deep into the most challenging problems. We own the critical infrastructure that powers video experiences across Canva's entire ecosystem - from web-based rendering engines to native C++ video engines, working seamlessly across our web application, mobile apps, and backend export pipeline.

This role sits at the intersection of technical excellence and people leadership, managing a mix of ICs and Engineering Managers. We operate in a high-visibility, high-impact and high-speed environment with significant direct user impact, and a successful leader would be someone who thrives in chaotic and rapidly innovative environments. Working alongside deeply skilled and high opinionated video specialist engineers, we are looking for a leader with technical credibility and collaborative leadership to deliver world-class video platform capabilities.

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.
