As an Infrastructure Product Lead, you will be at the forefront of driving Canva's Infrastructure to new heights, supporting our ambitious goal of reaching 1 billion users while enhancing our enterprise offerings. You will play a critical role in shaping the future of our platform's infrastructure, ensuring that it is robust, scalable, developer friendly and cost-effective.

  • Partner with engineering leadership to refine the strategy and vision for Canva's cloud infrastructure
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including engineering, operations, security, and finance, to align infrastructure development with company objectives.
  • Manage and mentor a team of product managers, setting clear goals and ensuring they have the resources and support needed to succeed.
  • Drive innovation in infrastructure technology to stay ahead of industry trends and user demands.
  • Balance technical, business, and user needs, making decisions based on data and informed insights.
  • Communicate progress, challenges, and achievements to stakeholders at all levels of the organization.


About the team
The Infra Supergroup at Canva aim to make complex technology simple for Canvanauts by building foundational platforms that will propel Canva's growth. The scope is broad: every week, thousands of developers interact with the tools, utilities, and platforms that Infra provides. Infra plays a direct role in improving developer productivity across the entire software lifecycle. More than just a set of tools, Infra aims to improve developer happiness and unlock innovations that empower Canva teams to delight users and enter new markets.
