Hey, 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
Alongside our global campuses, we also collaborate with talented contractors and freelancers from all over the world to help us achieve our crazy big goals.
This role is a 6-month engagement, working full-time hours per week.
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:
Evaluating Canva’s AI-generated designs across formats - reviewing layouts, hierarchy, spacing, colour, typography, and tone
Running structured testing workflows to validate generative quality across presentations, video, social, print, and more
Flagging design logic failures, template structure gaps, and visual inconsistencies that automated checks might miss
Translating design judgment into clear, structured feedback that engineers and content teams can action
Helping track issues, retest fixes, and ensure readiness for public release
Contributing to quality frameworks - supporting what good looks like in AI-generated design at scale
You're probably a match if
You’ve built your visual design craft across brand or product environments, and you’re excited to apply that eye to reviewing
You notice when layouts feel unbalanced, type choices clash, or spacing disrupts the flow, and can explain what’s not working and why
You enjoy refining systems, surfacing design patterns, identifying edge cases, and bringing structure to your feedback
You’re excited to work with engineers, content designers, and other reviewers to shape Canva’s generative design future
You stay focused and thoughtful in detailed, repetitive work, and care deeply about quality and consistency
You’re proactive and motivated by seeing your input turn into meaningful product improvements
