Ahoj, hey, g'day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte

Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you're probably keen to find out what's on offer, so we'll get straight to the point.

Where and how you can work

Our flagship campus is in Sydney, Australia but Prague is home to part of our European operations. And with that, you'll have choice in how you work, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

  • Proposing innovative solutions to ensure we future-proof product and features as print grows
  • Actively participate in design meetings, hiring interviews, and code reviews
  • Optimizing backend performance for global scale

  • You have at least 3+ years of experience developing complex web applications in Java.
  • You possess familiarity with AWS Cloud Infrastructure and services such as EC2, ECS, and Terraform. Additional experience with other cloud providers would be a plus e.g. GCP/Azure

  • Your know-how of tooling and concepts behind CI/CD is firmly grounded
  • You ideally also have some experience working with OpenGL/Computer graphics

This backend engineer will join our team to work on critical Smartmockups Canva integrations. Join us and design your future.
