Job Description

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design.

Hiya, 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.

Where And How You Can Work

The buzzing Canva London campus features several buildings around beautiful leafy Hoxton Square in Shoreditch. While our global headquarters is in Sydney, Australia, London is our HQ for Europe, with all kinds of teams based here, plus event spaces to gather our team and communities. You'll experience a warm welcome from our Vibe team at front of house, amazing home cooked food from our Head Chef and a variety of workspaces to hang out with your team mates or get solo work done. That said, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals and so you have choice in where and how you work.

What You’d Be Doing In This Role

As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that's all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you'll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

At The Moment, This Role Is Focused On

  • Find insights that help us understand both Pexels and our customers - we want you to be creative and insightful, rather than just throwing the usual metrics at the wall to see what sticks.
  • Suggest and run interesting experiments that will actually move our metrics - when we push tests to 100% we want to actually see the bump in the relevant graph.
  • Build and maintain dashboards for our product teams, and make them look really good - you don’t need to be a designer or have any design talent, you just need to want to build cool things!
  • Own projects, data models, dashboards, and other artefacts and keep them up-to-date and high quality in a hypergrowth environment.
  • Use our giant databases to answer the sort of questions that sound really simple but turn out to be challenging (and fun!).
  • Help us extend data literacy and curiosity throughout the whole company.


You're probably a match if

  • You have strong competency with SQL. Experience with data warehouses such as Snowflake, Redshift, or BigQuery is a plus!
  • You are experienced with data wrangling and analyzing data using Python or R.
  • You can demonstrate skills across optimising product funnels, running experiments, and building dashboards that effectively communicate results and outcomes.
  • You may have a grounding in mathematics/statistics and a bachelor's degree in a STEM area (not mandatory).
  • You may have played with very large data sets (not mandatory).
  • You are a strong communicator, verbally and written, with the ability to break down complex topics into simple solutions and ideas.


About The Team

We build Pexels, a free and open platform for real-world visuals. Our team connects hundreds of thousands of creators with millions of storytellers, making authentic photos and videos easy to find and safe for commercial use. We focus on community, quality, and real impact.

We’re looking for a data scientist who is eager to help Pexels forge ahead into a new product space by helping to shape product decisions through actionable insights, experimentation, and reporting.

You’ll work closely with our product, engineering, community and marketing teams to uncover the right questions to ask and bring strategic thinking to every decision. You’ll be part of a dedicated, cross-functional squad that supports you in doing your best work. Your coach will guide your personal and professional growth so you can focus on what you love and keep getting better at it.

  • Ship features that help creators track views, downloads, and reach.
  • Run challenges and meetups that surface new talent from everywhere.
  • Curate and grow a diverse library that updates daily.
  • Work in small, autonomous squads with clear goals and a bias to ship.


Join us to put human creativity at the centre of how the world sees itself.

What's in it for you?

Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.

Here's a Taste Of What's On Offer

  • Equity packages - we want our success to be yours too
  • Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
  • An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
  • Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally
