About the Team
Offline is part of Performance, which is important for us in Canva. We want to be the fastest graphical design tool in the world. The Performance Platform group is set to achieve this mission. We tackle the culture of building performance in multiple areas: make it easy to measure and analyze performance issues, improve our architecture to make performance easy to achieve, and build robust patterns to allow building features with performance by default.
A part of making Canva fast is making Canva work offline. An offline product for Canva will support our users in creating, editing, viewing and downloading their designs anywhere, anytime, with or without a reliable internet connection. A Canva without an internet connection is also a Canva that is intelligent in what to download and when.
The Offline team is responsible for building the first set of important features for an offline Canva product. We then build the tooling and architecture necessary to empower other product teams. We also write down documentation and guides that help them understand our tooling and architecture. That way they can build features that can work offline out of the box, and provide alternative user experiences for features that require an internet connection to work.
About the Role
We are looking for engineers with an interest in building an alternative experience to the product we have by pushing for two work streams: deliver the first offline features in Canva, and empower other product teams to build more offline features easily.
The Offline team is a product team with a platform mindset, so your role is to balance building the Offline platform, with dogfooding our tooling and platform work by building offline features for the core Canva user experience, such as viewing and creating designs.
As a software engineer in the Offline team you will be collaborating with engineers from many different parts of the company to build the whole offline experience in stages, implementing and improving user flows one-by-one, from an MVP to a fully fledged experience for the millions of Canva users in the world.
What's in it for you?
Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a stack of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.
