Senior Backend Engineer - Export

The Export team sits within the Editing Platform group and owns one of Canva's most critical workflows — transforming designs into downloadable files that users can share, print, and bring to life. Over 50 million people download their creations through us every week. We focus on three things: reliability users can count on, speed that keeps pace with their creativity, and flexibility across every format and use case.

Beyond the main download flow, we power print production, enable AI model training, generate thumbnails, and make sure every new editor feature works seamlessly when someone hits that download button. As a Senior Backend Engineer here, your technical depth translates directly into user delight — and your work enables teams across Canva to move faster and ship with confidence.
