What You'll Do
The Gateway Team is responsible for the front line of our microservices, as well as the journey a request takes while travelling from one service to another. Gateway’s work is based on two cornerstones: Reliability and Velocity. We want to ensure that every request that hits Canva goes through the Gateway components, at ludicrous speeds, and that the developers who work on the platform can be efficient and productive.
What You Need to Be Successful
Must Have
Five-plus (5+) years of commercial experience developing complex, distributed web applications
Strong grasp of the JVM; experience writing Java (experience with other JVM languages such as Scala, Kotlin, etc is a big plus – however, we primarily use Java 11)
Familiar with asynchronous or reactive programming techniques and associated patterns. At our scale, writing blocking code is not an option.
Firmly grounded computer science and engineering fundamentals: throttling, circuit breakers, load balancing – all of it requires a strong understanding of concurrency, data structures, and distributed systems.
Experience working in large distributed cloud environments (ideally AWS); CDNs, DNS. We’re hosted on AWS and leverage cloud providers for as much as possible.
Disciplined coding practices, experience with code reviews and pull requests, conceptual thinking approach as opposed to framework-focused; we’re engineers and builders, not delegators
Strong communication and collaborative skills, both written and verbal. A Canva engineer always strives to understand the exact problem before writing a solution.
Nice to Have
Experience with RPC Frameworks, Finagle, Thrift or gRPC will be a huge plus. We strive to make sure that the communication layer is not a bottleneck, and simplifies the life of the product engineers as much as possible.
Knowledge of networking protocols such as TCP, HTTP 1/2, QUIC, protobuf, etc. would be a big plus! The life of a request doesn’t start inside the backend web server, but rather in the browser of a user.
An understanding of resiliency techniques – load balancing, throttling, back pressure, circuit breaking, etc. For Canva, reliability is a feature, and the infra team aims to provide the best tools possible to the application engineers to ensure that Canva stays available at all times.
