Process
I applied for this role primarily due to the brand, but I was already half-hearted about the title. It seems the company is introducing a new kind of title, as I haven't seen it before.
As such, I didn’t continue with my application after having a chat with the recruiter.
Let’s be real – and no offense to people who have ‘assistant’ in their roles – but it seems like a diminished role for someone with Quality Engineering experience. It could have been advertised simply as ‘Quality Engineer,’ ‘Quality Coach,’ or ‘Quality Expert.’
In my opinion (and I'm sure some will disagree), the role will likely turn away experienced candidates in testing and quality. Consequently, Canva might miss out on experienced resources.

Lots of great colleagues with strong alignment on values and mission. Heaps of interesting problems to address.Cons: Some growing pains are still happening. A lot of engineering leaders are not well trained or supported for leadership, which at times results in teams being unfairly punished for poor management. The expectations on staff to deliver are very high, and performance reviews are quite brutal and opaque.
