      Front End Engineer Interview

      26 Oct 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Sydney
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Canva (Sydney) in Sept 2015

      Interview

      First part is a phone call to get a sense of who you are and what your interests are. Then you'll be asked to complete a programming challenge at home. It's an excellent challenge, it covers a lot of different aspects of javascript development and graphics programming. If you're successful with the challenge then you'll be invited to lunch followed by 2 onsite interviews, one after the other -- for a total of 4 hours. The first onsite interview will be with 2 engineers and they will probe to get an understanding of the particulars of your challenge and why you took certain approaches. They will ask you to modify your code to achieve different results. The second interview will be with 2 engineers who will ask high level questions about the way you solve problems. They aren't as concerned with the particulars of your work, they are more interested in patterns. You should be familiar with principles of modularity, dependency injection, unit testing and computational complexity. Be sure to keep yourself energised through out the 4 hours because it can be exhausting. Have fun with it, and share your passions and interests.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Can you modify your code to invert the result?

      Question 2

      Front End Engineer Interview

      26 May 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Melbourne
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Canva (Melbourne) in May 2026

      Interview

      First round: AIP + SDA interview 1 hour AI Programming interview (50 mins Programming + 10min Q&A) + 1 hr System Design (40 mins Whiteboard system design + 5min Q&A) The interviewer allocated 50 minutes for the AI Programming interview. However, because they frequently interrupted with questions midway through, we ran very tight on time. Fortunately, I managed to complete the system design portion ahead of schedule, which left the final 10 minutes to ask questions about Canva with the interviewer. Afterwards, my original recruiter left the company. Although another recruiter assured me they would provide feedback, they have gone silent since my last email reply.
