About the team

The Ecosystem group contributes to Canva’s growth towards 1 billion users by creating an abundant app ecosystem that tailors to the diverse needs of our users across all demographics. As Canva continues to play a larger role in organisations with larger teams, it is essential that we continue growing an ecosystem that supports both apps and integrations with 3rd party tools/apps/services. Ecosystem has launched the Canva Apps SDK and is continuing to evolve Ecosystem product offering by recently launching the public REST API for Canva to serve third-party developers (Connect API) and support integrations with enterprises and SaaS software!

The Ecosystem strategy involves three priorities:

Build and scale the Canva API to enable deep integrations into (and outside of) Canva’s editor product
Create a truly delightful experience for our developers and their customers.
Building high-quality integrations with strategic partners to benefit Canva’s users.

We have an active and growing community of developers and app partners in our Ecosystem. We are expanding the Solutions Engineering team to help us grow and scale how we foster and support our System Integrators.

As a System Engineer, you will support a growing network of System Integrators, supporting their work with Canva's infrastructure. The Solution Engineer team is part of the Partnerships and Developer Success team within the Canva Ecosystem Group and work closely with Engineering, Product, Partnerships, Account Executives and Customer Success, to name a few. You will help us establish Canva as the World's most extensible platform as we grow and scale.
