Production Engineer

• Monitor, alert, investigate, and resolve production infrastructure challenges across public cloud environments (including GCP and AWS).
• Actively identify opportunities and implement automated, scalable solutions to optimize code and operational tasks, reducing toil across the platform.
• Participate in incident response during critical issues, track alert trends, and assist with root cause analysis (RCA) to drive structural improvements.
• Execute production change and security requests, safely managing code deployments and patching pipelines.
• Work closely with your team and cross-functional partners to align technical solutions and execution strategies with roadmap priorities.

• Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
• The Production Engineering team sits at the intersection of software engineering and the hardest reliability problems in Canva's infrastructure.
• Writing software. Changing how production behaves. When it works, every team ships with more confidence and Canva gets faster and more resilient for the people who use it every day.
• The strategic bet is a different model entirely. Canva's own take on what production reliability looks like, built for how we work.
• Not operationalising systems. Not running alerts. Writing software that changes how production behaves.
• Leading the hardest engagements: Taking personal ownership of the most technically complex areas, sharding, multi-region architecture, JVM performance at scale, while the team builds depth in adjacent domains.
• Setting the technical bar: What it means to be a production engineer at Canva. The standard for technical credibility. The archetype that future hiring calibrates against.
• Pairing strategy across the team: Deciding how staff and mid-level engineers are paired and what they should be learning from each engagement.
• Building the measurement story: Incident severity and duration trending down. Feature launches going to production cleanly. You define what the metrics are and how they're tracked.

Principal Production Engineer

• 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
