Sydney, Australia Hybrid Contract

Canva is hiring a Senior Visual AI Designer (6 Month Contract)

Responsibilities

  • Annotating and labeling large volumes of visual data — including images, UI layouts, compositions, graphics, and photography — with high precision
  • Evaluating AI-generated outputs for aesthetic quality, composition, accessibility, usability, and brand alignment
  • Developing visual scoring rubrics and structured evaluation frameworks to guide model improvement
  • Identifying patterns, failure modes, and edge cases to help improve model performance
  • Translating nuanced design critique into structured, actionable feedback for ML engineers and research scientists
  • Using generative AI tools to prototype workflows, test hypotheses, and creatively explore model behaviors
  • Contributing to the development of taxonomies for visual styles, attributes, and design patterns
  • Maintaining high standards of data quality and documentation across annotation projects

Requirements

  • You have strong design fundamentals — composition, color theory, typography, layout, hierarchy, and storytelling are second nature to you
  • You have a portfolio that demonstrates visual excellence across graphic design, product design, UI/UX, illustration, or related domains
  • You’re familiar with generative AI tools and understand how training data and annotation influence model behavior
  • You can evaluate visual outputs with precision and clearly articulate structured, repeatable feedback
  • You’re comfortable working in documentation-heavy, cross-functional environments
  • You’re excited by the idea of shaping how AI models “see” and “create”

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, or 3D tools
  • Prior annotation, data labeling, or ML operations experience
  • Basic familiarity with Python, prompt engineering, or dataset tooling
  • Knowledge of accessibility guidelines (e.g. WCAG), usability heuristics, or user research

Additional Information

  • Interviews are conducted virtually.
  • When you apply, please tell us the pronouns you use and any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process.
