Staff Software Engineer - Experiments Platform
#### 公司简介
**你可以在哪里和如何工作**
我们的旗舰校区在悉尼，还有墨尔本的第二个校区，以及布里斯班、珀斯和阿德莱德的共享办公空间。你可以灵活地选择工作方式和地点——无论是使用我们的空间、在家，还是两者结合。这个职位支持**在澳大利亚境内远程办公**，你可以选择能让你和团队发挥最佳状态的配置。
#### 职位描述
**加入我们，重新定义世界体验设计的方式。**
嘿，你好，欢迎，你好，你好，你好，你好！
感谢您的关注。我们知道找工作可能有点耗时，您可能希望尽快了解有哪些机会，所以我们直入主题。
**在这个职位中，您将负责：**
Canva 正在让实验成为我们构建和发布产品的重要组成部分。
在我们这样的规模下，发布更改并观察结果是不够的。团队需要知道更改是否真正改善了产品，并发现那些意外影响重要指标（如留存率或应用性能）的更改。
这位资深软件工程师将在 Canva 实验计划背后的后端系统中提供高级技术领导力。
您将帮助演进平台团队用于设置实验、定向用户、展示变体和测量结果的最安全、最直观的方式。我们正在向一个不仅报告结果的平台发展。它应该强化良好的实验实践，更快地呈现信号，并在出现问题时提前发出警报。
随着人工智能的出现，我们也在探索如何自动化更多的分析过程，以帮助我们的团队更快学习和迭代。
您将负责重大的技术问题，与 Canva 的高级领导者合作，并通过与构建平台的团队合作，帮助塑造平台的下一步发展方向。
**您可能是一个合适的人选：**
如果您符合以下任何一项或多项条件，我们很乐意与您联系。您不需要满足所有条件，但越多越好，如果您加入团队，我们将致力于帮助您成长。
**经验：**
- 后端平台工程：您已经构建了其他工程师依赖的后端系统或平台，并理解当您的软件成为他人关键路径的一部分时会发生什么变化。
- 大规模实验经验：您曾构建、运营或深入参与过实验、A/B 测试、功能管理或渐进式交付。

#### Company Description
**Where and how you can work**
Our flagship campus is in Sydney, with a second campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth, & Adelaide. You have flexibility in how and where you work — whether that's from one of our spaces, from home, or a mix of both. This role is remote-friendly **within Australia**, so you can choose the setup that empowers you and your team to do your best work.
#### Job Description
**Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.**
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.
**What you'd be doing in this role:**
Canva is making experimentation a much bigger part of how we build and ship product.
At our scale, shipping changes and watching what happens isn't enough. Teams need to know whether a change actually improved the product and catch changes that unexpectedly hurt important guardrails such as retention or application performance.
This Staff Software Engineer will provide senior technical leadership across the backend systems behind Canva's experimentation programme.
You'll help evolve the platform teams use to set up experiments, target users, expose variants and measure outcomes in the safest and most intuitive way possible. We're moving towards a platform that does more than report results. It should reinforce good experimentation practices, surface signals faster and alert early when things go wrong.
With the advent of AI, we’re also looking at how we can automate more of the analysis process to help our teams learn faster and iterate.
You'll take ownership of significant technical problems, work with senior leaders across Canva and help shape where the platform should go next by working with the teams building the platform.
**You’re probably a match:**
We'd love to hear from you if you fit one or more of these. You don't need to meet all of them, but the more the better and if you join the team, we're invested in helping you grow.
**Experience:**
- Backend platform engineering: You've built backend systems or platforms that other engineers depend on, and understand what changes when your software becomes part of somebody else's critical path.
- Experimentation exposure at scale: You've built, operated or worked deeply with experimentation, A/B testing, feature-management or progressive-rollout systems in a large engineering environment.
- Technical leadership: You've taken ambiguous engineering problems, formed a technical direction and helped other engineers move towards an outcome.
- Driving adoption: You've built internal platforms or capabilities and understand that the technology only succeeds when other teams trust and use it.
**Technical knowledge:**
- Backend and distributed systems: Strong software engineering fundamentals, with experience designing reliable backend systems and reasoning about scalability, availability, consistency and failure modes.
- Data systems: Enough familiarity with data engineering, analytics engineering or large-scale data processing to understand how experimentation data is generated, moved and consumed.
- Experimentation concepts: Familiarity with experiment assignment, targeting, variants, feature flags, metrics, guardrails and progressive rollout.
- Language depth: Java is our primary language and would be useful, but it isn't a hard requirement. At Staff level, we're more interested in strong engineering fundamentals and your ability to transfer them between languages.
**Nice to haves:**
- You've built this before: Direct experience designing or building experimentation, A/B testing, feature-management or rollout infrastructure — either inside a large technology company or for a platform vendor.
- Data crossover: A background spanning software engineering and data science, data engineering or analytics engineering.
- Feature flags: Experience building feature flagging, user targeting, progressive rollout or automated guardrail systems.
- Statistical intuition: You don't need to be a data scientist, but being comfortable enough with experimentation and statistics to work closely with one will be valuable.
**About the Group & Team:**
This role sits within Rollout Insights, the subgroup responsible for experimentation at Canva.
The team builds shared experimentation capabilities used across the company.
Engineers use the platform to configure and launch experiments. Data scientists use the resulting data to understand impact. Product teams use those insights to decide what should roll out, change or stop.
The team already brings together software engineering and senior data science expertise, which matters because the hardest problems sit across both disciplines.
You'll also collaborate broadly across Canva's engineering and data science organisations, including with senior technical leaders who depend on the platform.
Experimentation is now a major company priority, so demand for the team's capabilities is growing quickly. There's already a platform to build from, with plenty of important technical work still ahead.
