Engineering Manager (BE) - Content Permissions - (Remote across ANZ)

About the group and team:
This year the Home and Content Management group is on a mission to inspire everyone to visually communicate and stay organised. Our group is doubling down on several critical initiatives to help us achieve our company-level strategy of driving teams and collaboration in Canva. We want to make Canva the tool that every team, big and small, wants to use to collaborate and communicate every day - from kindergarten to the workplace.
We are forming a new team to help teams that use Canva to organise their designs as effectively as possible whilst being in control of exactly who has access to them. This means that we build rich features into the Canva home page and for use in-context within the editor. We work closely with teams across the company, including search, education, growth, and platform. The features that our team build are core to the everyday use of our over 185 million users and so performance and reliability are at the forefront of everything we do.

• You will write and review design documents, break projects down into milestones, and be responsible for project delivery.
• You will work in cross-functional teams with UI/UX designers, content designers, product managers, and engineers (including QA and data analysts) to meet the needs of your team.

You're probably a match if you have:
