Senior Machine Learning Engineer - Agent Tools Interop (AU remote)
As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer on the Agent Tools Interop team at Canva, you will be at the forefront of agentic AI, focusing on developing systems that enable agents to discover, invoke, and safely execute capabilities across Canva's expanding ecosystem. This role is integral to the Ecosystem Supergroup, which aims to create a rich app ecosystem tailored for over a billion users, empowering developers and partners to extend Canva's functionalities in innovative ways.
Your primary responsibilities will include designing tool schemas and definition patterns that enhance large language model (LLM) tool selection accuracy and reliable invocation across diverse agent consumers and AI integrations. You will build and operate evaluation pipelines to measure tool-calling behavior in production, identify regressions, and drive continuous quality improvement. Collaboration with product, platform, and GenAI teams will be essential to integrate agentic capabilities into production systems and understand tool usage at real-world scale.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on production experience with LLM tool-use and function calling, including designing tool schemas and shipping agentic integrations to real users. Proficiency in Java is essential due to Canva's backend services infrastructure, with additional experience in Python or TypeScript being advantageous. Familiarity with MCP, LangChain, LangGraph, or agent frameworks, as well as prompt engineering experience for tool definitions and tool-calling schemas, will set candidates apart.
