Senior Android Engineer — Mobile Workflows
Canva is seeking a Senior Android Engineer to join the Mobile Workflows team, which focuses on enhancing mobile development tooling, automation testing pipelines, and quality strategies across the organization. This role is pivotal in ensuring reliable, scalable, and high-quality mobile development for Canva's extensive product and platform teams.
The successful candidate will be responsible for building and maintaining Android-specific development tools, including simulator setups and command-line interfaces. They will develop and enhance mobile test automation frameworks for both synthetic and integration testing on Android platforms. Additionally, the role involves designing and implementing continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) quality gating with automation tests to proactively detect regressions. Collaboration with Native Infrastructure, Cross-Platform, and Developer Experience teams is essential to unify mobile workflows. The engineer will also contribute to defining and improving mobile testing best practices and methodologies across Canva, support the creation of company-wide triage workflows, and mentor less experienced engineers.
Candidates should have a strong foundation in computer science and software engineering practices, with proven expertise in modern Android development, including a deep understanding of Kotlin, concurrency, and reactive programming. Experience with cross-platform testing frameworks and familiarity with test automation patterns are important. Knowledge of CI/CD systems, build pipelines, and mobile development tooling such as Fastlane and Gradle is required. Experience with device farm solutions like BrowserStack or similar cloud device testing platforms is advantageous. Familiarity with cross-platform or hybrid development approaches, such as React Native or web-to-native bridges, is a plus but not essential. The ability to navigate ambiguity and independently devise optimal technical solutions is crucial, as is attention to detail and strategic thinking in developing reusable and testable code.
Canva offers a range of benefits, including equity packages to share in the company's success, an inclusive parental leave policy supporting all parents and carers, and an annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support wellbeing, social connection, and home office setup. Flexible leave options are available to recharge, volunteer, or pursue personal interests. Internal coaching programs and world-class leadership development opportunities are also provided to support professional growth.
Joining Canva means becoming part of a team that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning. The company fosters a culture where employees are empowered to make a significant impact, with opportunities for growth and development in a dynamic and supportive environment.
