About the role
We're the Cloud Enablement team inside Canva's Core Infrastructure group. Our job is to make sure every Canva engineer can get a secure, compliant cloud foundations when they need one - quickly, confidently, and without the runaround. We build and run the platforms that underpin how Canva manages its cloud estate across cloud providers. That includes account provisioning, security policy enforcement, compliance automation, and the metadata layer that ties it all together. When we do our job well, engineers don't notice us - they just get to focus on building. We sit right at the intersection of security, compliance, and developer experience. It's a space where the impact is real - and where getting the right abstractions built makes a meaningful difference to hundreds of engineers every day. You'll design and build platforms that make cloud infrastructure easier to use - think account vending, compliance policy management, and the guardrails that help engineers stay on the right path without slowing them down. You'll be working on some genuinely hard problems: how do you scale compliance across hundreds of cloud environments? How do you enable teams move fast without creating risk? How do you build systems that are simple to use but robust under the hood? This is a role with real autonomy and real impact. You'll shape technical direction, influence how we build, and take ownership of significant parts of our platform from early on. And because we're working at the edge of what's possible in cloud security and compliance, there's genuine depth to go into - you'll keep growing here long after you've found your footing. 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.
