• ● What you'd be doing in this role

You might be crafting rich, interactive experiences in the Canva Editor used by millions, or shaping end-to-end journeys on surfaces like Canva Docs, Presentations, and Websites. You could contribute to cutting-edge Magic Studio features powered by AI, or help launch fast-paced product experiments that drive real impact. With multiple teams hiring frontend engineers, we'd love to learn what excites you most and find the right fit for your passions and strengths.
