Canva’s Commitment and Mission

At Canva, we celebrate diversity. We deeply believe that bringing together diversity of thoughts, perspectives and expression is key to building the best product, team and company. We look for many different skills and abilities, as well as how you can enhance Canva and our culture. So, even if you don’t think you quite meet all of the skills listed or tick all the boxes, we’d still love to hear from you!

Our mission at Canva is to empower the world to design and since launching in 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing over 86 million monthly active users across 190 different countries and a team of over 3,000 people… and the best bit is that we’ve only achieved 1% of what we know we’re capable of.

Join us and design your future.

About the group/team

The Hardware & Access Management team supports the evaluation, implementation, administration, and ongoing innovation of identity and access technology across our internal IT systems.

We use Okta as our primary IDP, and with the scale of our organisation, we’re constantly integrating new technology and applications behind and in front of it. We’re looking for someone to help continue our investment into scalable identity & access systems and beyond. This includes onboarding & offboarding, entitlement propagation, supporting flexible employment patterns, application integration & access management, and more!

About the role/specialty

We’re looking for a software engineer with experience in designing and building systems that process access requests, entitlements, and provisioning. In doing so, you’ll have a direct impact on the productivity of thousands of Canvanauts across the business, by reducing the ambiguity and inefficiencies that come with having to manage access at a large-scale startup like Canva.

Rather than manual service desks and sending our users to application owners, we want to create systems that make granting access as simple and secure as possible. Our vision is to remove manual processes and approval chains whilst striking a fine balance with security.

What you’ll do (Responsibilities)

  • Design, implement and maintain processes and automation that simplify the provisioning and configuration of access to external systems we use via SSO
  • Be an SME in infrastructure as code - specifically, configuring SaaS apps like Okta in Terraform
  • Collaborate with other teams to determine the best way to provision access to the applications they own
  • Participate in design meetings, code reviews, and upskilling the rest of the team through peer training & mentoring
  • Configure & administer our identity systems to make accessing all of our applications an easy and simple process
  • Help manage complex migrations across our SaaS applications
  • Work with third-party system vendors, developing relationships and ensuring strong service delivery
  • Learn and develop as a core responsibility in this role - as one of the fastest growing startups, it’s expected (and we encourage!) personal and professional growth

Where we're looking for! (Required skills)

  • Experience working with infrastructure as code - Terraform (preferred), AWS CloudFormation / SAM / CDK, or similar
  • Experience managing an Identity Provider at an org/superadmin level - preferably Okta
  • Advanced coding proficiency in Python - we’d love to hear about what you’ve built!
  • Working knowledge of different deployment & application architectures - i.e. Microservices, Container usage, Serverless, lambdas
  • A deep understanding of Single Sign On and related concepts such as SAML, SCIM, IDP and user management
  • The ability to guide and mentor other members within the team and improve the way we collaborate, learn, and share ideas
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills - both technical and business focused
This role is open to remote applicants across ANZ
