Canva is seeking an AI Localisation Specialist to join its Localisation group, a team dedicated to adapting Canva's product, marketing, and content for a global audience. This role involves collaborating with product, engineering, and machine learning teams to integrate localisation quality signals early in the development cycle, ensuring a seamless experience for users worldwide.
Key responsibilities include establishing and maintaining documentation on localisation AI tools, prompt libraries, and evaluation methodologies. The specialist will lead the refinement of Canva's AI translation pipeline, optimizing through prompt engineering and rigorous evaluation processes to balance AI automation with human translation workflows. Additionally, the role involves contributing to the overall localisation strategy by surfacing data-driven insights and establishing processes with country teams to propagate learnings across regions.
The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise in localisation frameworks and technologies, with bonus points for experience with Smartling and large language model evaluations. A builder's mindset is essential, demonstrating comfort with coding scripts and experimenting with new approaches.

Proficiency in multiple languages is a significant advantage.
Canva offers a range of benefits, including equity packages, an inclusive parental leave policy, an annual allowance to support wellbeing and social connection, and flexible leave options to empower personal and professional growth.
