About the role

The Data Engineer empowers Canvanauts to discover insights from our data. They are a steward of organizational knowledge, not a researcher answering a specific question. Like a librarian, the data engineer curates the catalog so that the researchers can do their work more effectively.

They apply software engineering best practices on a daily basis. Their purpose is to maintain and operate the data platform to deliver well-defined, transformed, tested, documented, and code-reviewed data sets. 

We handle Billions of rows and Petabytes of data from hundreds of different sources - including events, databases, and third-party systems. We work in collaboration with multiple teams and stakeholders to support their decision-making process. We work every day to make Canva one of the most valuable companies in the world and to do the most good along the way. We are looking to grow our team and multiply our impact.

    • Develop infrastructure, tools and scalable data ingestion, access and modeling frameworks to support Canva's use of the data warehouse.
    • Design and build out analytic data models that support answering questions from our product team and company leaders.
    • Ensure that our users’ data is protected throughout the data lifecycle and that it’s used with their consent to provide them with an amazing product experience.

Required Skills & Experience

    • 4+ years of recent experience building and managing large data platform environments in the cloud, AWS preferred.
    • Experience with modern MPP cloud-based data warehouse solutions such as Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery.
    • Advanced SQL, Python coding, and data modelling skills.
    • Experience working with event-oriented data sets of large size and diverse schemas.
    • Experience developing dashboards and reporting systems.
    • Familiarity with a wide set of data warehousing principles, including architecture, methodologies, schemas, performance/optimization principles, and best practices.
    • Strong competency following the ELT approach to the data integration process.
    • Curiosity and self-drive to continuously learn new techniques and tools to extract value from data.
    • Excellent written, verbal communication and collaborative skills.
