Overview

Engineering Manager (FE) - Video Storyline (Remote ANZ)

Join the team redefining how the world experiences video. We are building a brand new team — Video Storyline — to lead the charge in AI-driven video editing experiences.

Where And How You Can Work

Our flagship campus is in Sydney, with a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. We embrace flexibility — you choose where and how you work best with your team.

What You’d Be Doing In This Role

We’re building a new surface from the ground up. Video Storyline will support complex video generation on desktop — including beat-syncing, intelligent timing, and creative composition — powered by AI and designed for everyday users. You will lead and grow a high-performing frontend team focused on AI-powered video editing, deliver intuitive editing surfaces, build expressive tools for sequencing, timing, and audio / visual storytelling, collaborate with technical leadership on interaction patterns, and define and own the frontend technical roadmap. You will champion frontend excellence — performance, responsiveness, and usability.

  • Leading and growing a high-performing frontend team focused on AI-powered video editing
  • Delivering intuitive new editing surfaces that simplify complex creative tasks
  • Building expressive tools for sequencing, timing, and audio / visual storytelling
  • Collaborating with technical leadership to explore new interaction patterns
  • Defining and owning the frontend technical roadmap
  • Championing frontend excellence — performance, responsiveness, and usability

You’re Probably a Match If

  • You have a strong frontend background (TypeScript) and experience building rich, interactive tools
  • You’ve worked on creative tools — ideally in video, gaming, audio, or similar interactive media
  • You understand the unique demands of building for mobile and large-screen experiences
  • You’re product-minded and passionate about helping people create, even if they’re not \\"technical\\"
  • You know when to simplify — and how to translate technical complexity into user delight
  • You’ve coached and developed engineers and love seeing your team thrive
  • You’re comfortable working in a fast-moving, R&D-style environment where ideas are tested, iterated, and shipped quickly
  • You have a bias to action — you move ideas forward even when everything isn’t perfectly defined
  • About The Group

    The Video group is building the future of video at Canva — from fast, social-first formats to cinematic storytelling surfaces powered by AI. We’re on a mission to make professional-quality video creation accessible to everyone, not just designers or editors. We’re focused on building intuitive tools that help users create standout content without needing to learn complex timelines, keyframes, or editing workflows. Whether it’s through smart templates, automated beat-syncing, or AI-generated scenes, we’re reimagining video editing from the ground up — so anyone can go from idea to publish-ready video in minutes.

    What’s In It For You

    We offer a range of benefits to set you up for 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, and to recharge
  • Check out lifeatcanva.com for more info.

    Qualifications

    A degree is not mandatory but users must demonstrate a very strong command of computer science fundamentals to be successful in the role.

    Seniorities and Employment

  • Seniority level : Not Applicable
  • Employment type : Full-time
  • Job function : Information Technology
