About the team
The Ecosystem group contributes to Canva’s growth towards 1 billion users by creating an abundant ecosystem that tailors to the diverse needs of our users across all demographics. As Canva continues to play a larger role in organisations with larger teams it is essential that we continue building an ecosystem that supports integrations with 3rd party tools/apps/services.

The team is also responsible for maintaining an existing suite of APIs that are widely used by Enterprise customers.
