About the team
The Observability Insights, Metrics and Profiles Team is part of the Observability sub-group and is responsible for the end-to-end experience for visualisation, metrics, continuous profiling, and standardised alerting for Canva products and services.
Our goal is to provide our development team with world-class tools to view how their services are performing in production. We achieve this by combining industry-leading third-party solutions with our own in-house developed solutions. We work across the entire stack maintaining metrics and profiling SDKs (Java, Golang, Python), data pipelines, and related infrastructure to tie it all together.
As we scale, all of these areas require more sophisticated solutions to ensure that Canva developers can continue to grow without compromising on reliability or availability.
