About the group/team

The Security Group is responsible for protecting Canva systems and data from information security threats. The group runs programs across Application Security, Risk Management, Enterprise Security, and Threat Detection and Response domains. Our teams work together, and with other groups, to deliver preventive and detective controls and processes that reduce security risk.

Internal Systems Security team (ISS) helps secure our internal endpoints, networks, systems and data, used by every Canvanaut. We build and run a number of services that help run our device posture setup, secure credentials and secure our SaaS applications at scale. Additionally we partner with teams like IT, Sales and Customer Support to help build security into their roadmaps early on. The team has to strictly balance security and user experience to make pragmatic tradeoffs every day, especially as work accelerates with AI tooling. As a result of this we will be assessing candidates' AI coding, security review and System Design skills during our interview process.

Role Responsibilities:

• Managing a team of security engineers who do a mixture of threat modelling, security tool rollouts, building internal security services and partnering with other teams on security strategy.

• Coach and develop engineers by providing regular, practical feedback to help them reach their personal growth goals

• Own the team’s ways of work including sprint planning, stand-ups and retrospectives resulting in a high-performing team

• Working collaboratively with other partner groups such as IT, Sales, Customer Support and others to build security improvements that scales beyond our team.

• Driving adoption of our systems internally, championing the benefits of what we build.

• The ability to build a strategy around access that balances usability, security and compliance requirements, being flexible to changes as user patterns change.

• Prior experience managing and growing high performing teams.

• Proven ability to threat model complex systems, identify security risks, develop mitigation strategies with engineering teams, and see it through to delivery.

• Proven experience working with external stakeholder teams such as IT and Procurement to deliver secure SaaS solutions.

• A good understanding of the internal IT environments and the security market that surrounds them. Zero trust, IDPs, SSPM, MDMs, Password Managers and more should be topics you’ve dealt with.

• The ability to run large, complex projects across multiple groups, set the definition of done, track metrics and deliver comms at company scale.
