1. general recruiter chat, with javascript questions at the end. be prepared for that, learn the latest javascript api's (set, map) 2. 1 hour javascript interview. be comfortable with promises, and recursion. 3. 3 hour interview, 3 programming questions and 1 behaviour questions. first programming question was css flexboxes. second was a javascript countdown timer with start and stop button. third was a snake game (not using javascript canvas). all the interviews are conducted by canva engineers, even the behaviour interviews, which I found surprising. performed well on all questions, however needed didn't finish the snake game. I felt throughout the whole process, canva is not looking for a balanced individual, just a good coder. There are so many round of programming questions, and only one behaviour one, which isn't even conducted by a senior management. I would imagine your team would be filled with genius developers, with poor personalities.

I applied online. I interviewed at Canva in Oct 2025
Interview
Standard HR interview. The HR was friendly. First HR would introduced some information about the company and this role specially. And asked some behaviors questions and compensation. In the end, you will have chances to ask questions.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Canva (Sydney) in Aug 2024
Interview
I applied online and was contacted by a recruiter shortly after. I had a great experience. Everyone I spoke with throughout the process was incredibly friendly and supportive. The first interview included some technical questions, as noted in the document they provided, and also mentioned on Canva's website. So, it's important to prepare for those. My technical interview lasted an hour and involved building a game. Unfortunately, nerves got the best of me, so I highly recommend practicing your interview skills and answers to stay calm and focused. My favorite part was that they actually provided feedback!! I'm definitely getting ready for the next time I can apply here! 🙂
