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

The buzzing Canva London campus features several buildings around beautiful leafy Hoxton Square in Shoreditch. While our global headquarters is in Sydney, Australia, London is our HQ for Europe, with all kinds of teams based here, plus event spaces to gather our team and communities. You'll experience a warm welcome from our Vibe team at front of house, amazing home cooked food from our Head Chef and a variety of workspaces to hang out with your team mates or get solo work done. That said, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals and so you have choice in where and how you work.

What you'd be doing in this role

As Canva scales, change continues to be part of our DNA. This role is focused on:

• Build ML models for AI-based photo editing, staying up-to-date with the literature and evaluating state-of-the-art models for commercial use.
• Take over project ownership responsibilities and drive projects with specialties like Frontend and Backend to success, including ownership of project timeline, and collaboration with Design and Product.
• Stay up-to-date with recent advances in AI for photo editing, bringing new ideas for AI-based features to the team.
• Improve the quality of existing features through improved quality evaluation processes and new ML ideas.
• Boost the efficiency of existing features through code optimization, incorporating new models or Python libraries, or re-evaluating and speeding up our full stack.
• Collect data for model training or evaluation, or delegate to the Data Labelling team.

You're probably a match if

• You have a strong foundation in Computer Science, focusing on machine learning & ideally published papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences.
• You have a solid understanding of computer vision, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformers, generative adversarial networks, and diffusion models.
• You are proficient with Deep learning frameworks (Pytorch preferred, alternatively Tensorflow or JAX), Python 3, Numpy, OpenCV, Docker & Kubernetes.
• You can quickly acquire knowledge of state-of-the-art ML topics, as most projects start with literature research and communication across timezones.
• You have a deep understanding of machine learning at scale, including training sophisticated models on big datasets and deploying them on cloud platforms.
• You demonstrate ownership and are eager to find and develop novel solutions to challenging problems, such as processing large images efficiently.
• You are an excellent communicator and teammate, keen to collaborate and brainstorm ideas.

When applying, please describe your experience and achievements in product development, highlighting aspects you find most engaging. Additionally, explain why you are interested in applying to Canva and this specific position.
