Job Description

Hey, g’day, mabuhay, kia ora, 你好, hallo, vítejte!

Thanks for stopping by. We know job hunting can be a little time consuming and you’re probably keen to find out what’s on offer, so we’ll get straight to the point.

Where and how you can work

Our flagship campus is in Sydney. We also have a campus in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. But you have choice in where and how you work, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals.

What you’d be doing in this role

As Canva scales change continues to be part of our DNA. But we like to think that’s all part of the fun. So this will give you the flavour of the type of things you’ll be working on when you start, but this will likely evolve.

  • Design, develop, and implement SSO integrations using Okta across a wide range of enterprise applications (SAML, OIDC, OAuth).

  • Build and maintain SCIM integrations for automated provisioning/deprovisioning of user identities.

  • Collaborate with security and application teams to define and enforce identity architecture best practices.

  • Lead the assessment and integration of third-party SaaS applications into the existing identity management framework.

  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex authentication, authorization, and provisioning issues.

  • Ensure compliance with internal security policies and external regulatory requirements related to identity lifecycle management.

  • Document system designs, technical flows, and integration configurations.

You’re probably a match if

  • You bring 5+ years of experience in IAM, especially with Okta, and you’re confident working with SSO protocols like SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect

  • You’ve built and maintained SCIM and API-based integrations, and you’re hands on with tools like JSON and REST

  • You’ve configured Okta in enterprise settings and can independently troubleshoot and optimise IAM workflows

  • You collaborate well with others and communicate technical ideas clearly, whether you’re speaking with engineers or non-technical stakeholders

  • You’re comfortable scripting (Python, Workato) to streamline IAM processes

  • You’ve used tools like Okta FastPass or AMFA, or you’re keen to learn more about IGA platforms - Not required, though experience here would be a great advantage.
