Working at Canva& how to apply

Canva is a Sydney-headquartered design platform, founded in 2013 by Melanie Perkins, Cliff Obrecht, and Cameron Adams. Its tools let people create presentations, documents, social posts, videos, and print designs from templates, and are used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Canva's largest team is at its Surry Hills campus in Sydney, spanning engineering, design, product, data, marketing, and corporate functions.

Canva runs a hybrid model it describes as coming together in person for about eight days a year, with some teams in the office more regularly. Its culture is shaped by Australian roots it calls collaborative, unpretentious, and egalitarian, and by a strong mission focus through Canva for Education and the Canva Foundation.

What Canva looks for

Canva assesses candidates against a Skills Hiring Framework and pays close attention to whether you connect with its mission, not only the technical work. Interviewers value concrete examples from your experience. Hierarchy is deliberately flat, so the emphasis falls on your ideas and how you work with others rather than your title.

How to apply to Canva

  1. Apply through Canva's careers site (lifeatcanva.com). Canva manages every application itself; CareerTrees only links you to the listing.
  2. Round one is a video call with the Talent Acquisition team about your aspirations and experience, with technical questions for engineering roles.
  3. Round two is an interview with your potential coach or someone you would work closely with.
  4. Round three is usually a take-home challenge; engineering roles get a further technical round instead.
  5. Round four is a final interview where you meet close future colleagues, present your work, and answer behavioural questions aligned to Canva's Skills Hiring Framework.
  6. Canva publishes its process on its 'How we hire' page; from first call to offer commonly takes about four to six weeks.
