About the Ecosystem Group:
The Ecosystem group is a strategic venture which is critical in enabling Canva to reach 1B monthly active users. Our vision is to create an abundant ecosystem that tailors Canva for these billion delighted users, through a comprehensive, useful and effective developer platform, its companion APIs and end user experiences. Fundamentally, we believe that to reach 1 billion users we will need to continue to reach users of all demographics with an ever broadening spectrum of needs.
Canva Ecosystem is a team with 50 engineers predominantly located in Sydney, Australia. Our developer platform has had its foundations laid with a handful of narrowly scoped integration points within the product - now it’s time for us to go big with an API surface area which is significantly larger and with potential to build what we cannot imagine. There is so much opportunity in this space and our crazy big goal is to have hundreds of developers and thousands of integrations built with Canva.
The Ecosystem strategy involves three priorities:Build and scale the Canva API to enable deep integrations into (and outside of) Canva’s editor productCreate a truly delightful experience for both our developers and their customersBuilding high quality integrations with strategic partners for the benefit of Canva’s users.
