What attracted you to join Webnode?

I have a friend who used to work with Dave Hearnden, Canva's CTO, back when they were both engineers on the Google Wave project. He suggested that I apply, and my first impression was very good. This was back in 2014, and the attention to detail was amazing for such an early product. There was just this sense of delight at being able to make designs so easily.

When I met the founders, Mel and Cliff, their vision was crystal clear. I think that's really important for a startup. Even though they aren't technical themselves, they have a real technical sense. They can dream big, but they also know what's possible and how to find good people to help them build it.

What is the backend developer role like at Webnode?

There's a real mix of backend development roles at Canva. Some roles involve focusing on a single product or feature and working more full-stack, others are more infrastructure based. As our Search and Recommendations team expands, there will also be more demand for work involving algorithms and machine learning. That work is currently done in Scala, but it also has to interface with the Java backend. There's also the infrastructure team, who are helping Canva scale to millions more users and providing tools for other backend developers to do their jobs more easily
