Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.
Hey, gday, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!
Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time-consuming, and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.
The Security Group protects Canva's systems and data from information security threats, across Application Security, Risk Management, Enterprise Security, and Threat Detection and Response. Internal Systems Security is the team inside that focused on Canva's own environment.
The Internal Systems Security team secures the environment Canvanauts work in every day. Laptops, networks, identities, the SaaS tools everyone relies on, and now the AI agents doing real work alongside us.
Most of this work used to follow a playbook. That's no longer true. Canvanauts now run AI agents that act on their behalf, which is a very different security problem to a person at a laptop. One of the questions on our plate right now: where does the policy layer sit for MCP tool calls, when we want decisions made per action rather than per application, and evaluated fast enough that nobody notices them?
This is a Staff level individual contributor role. You'd set technical direction without managing anyone.
Our flagship Sydney campus is uniquely Canva, an extension of our Surry Hills neighbourhood. It's a thoughtfully designed space with plenty of room to collaborate, focus, and connect. This role is based in Sydney, and we're looking for someone who calls it home. Our hybrid way of working gives you the flexibility to work remotely, and to come together on campus for meaningful in-person collaboration and connection when it matters most. We trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

We're a global online visual communications platform on a mission to empower the world to design. Featuring a simple drag-and-drop user interface and a vast range of templates ranging from presentations, documents, websites, social media graphics, posters, apparel to videos, plus a huge library of fonts, stock photography, illustrations, video footage, and audio clips, anyone can take an idea and create something beautiful on Canva on any device, from anywhere in the world.
Since our launch in 2013, we’ve had the crazy big goal of making design accessible to everyone. We were founded on the belief that people shouldn't need to understand complex software to unlock their creativity. We’re leveling the playing field and democratizing access to design and visual communication by empowering 100% of the world to communicate in a way that was once limited to the 1%.
We've always had a deeper mission surrounding Canva — which we talk about as our 'simple' two-step plan: to build one of the world’s most valuable companies, and to do the most good we possibly can. We're committed to our core value of Being a Force for Good, so as the value of our company grows, so too does our ability to have a positive impact on the world.
