About the team
The Experimentation Platform team is responsible for managing the internal experimentation tools, services, and processes utilized by hundreds of Canvanauts. Our goal is to "Accelerate growth & delight by helping Canva learn from every single user." This is accomplished through a custom in-house platform that caters to Canva's requirements and methodologies, empowering all engineers and product managers to make informed and thoroughly tested decisions for the benefit of Canva users, primarily through A/B testing techniques.
About the role
We're seeking backend engineers who are eager to dive into the complex realm of A/B testing, measurements, and data analysis. As part of this team, you'll collaborate closely with seasoned Data Scientists and Engineers across the company on projects that impact Canva as a whole. Experimentation lies at the heart of our growth, and by working on our internal experimentation service, you'll directly influence nearly every service within the company. Even though this work is not exposed to external customers directly, it is crucial to Canva's collective success, driving our vision and strategy forward.
