Frequently, engineers host sessions where new ideas or software engineering practice is discussed – this ensures that everyone in the team is constantly learning.

Our Manila engineering team will be involved in projects for our core Marketplace offerings — key Canva elements such as Templates, Layouts, Categories, Folders, Images, etc. You will be working collaboratively with engineers in our Sydney headquarters, but have autonomy over your projects and deliverables.
