The Canvas Development Kit team builds the foundational layer that enables internal developers to create powerful, flexible widgets, and custom experiences on top of the canvas. Our mission is to improve the developer experience by providing reusable building blocks, clear and well-documented APIs, and tools that reduce the time-to-market and complexity of widget development. We partner closely with feature teams to understand their needs and evolve the platform accordingly.
Our primary focus is the Surface engine and Surface framework — a React-like declarative system built in TypeScript and powered by a C++ engine via WebAssembly. Surface handles layout, animation, state management, and event propagation, providing a high-level model for describing interactive behavior on the canvas. It includes a custom reconciler, internal rendering system, and developer-facing APIs designed for composability, performance, and ergonomics. The team works on both the runtime and the authoring model, shaping how interactive content is built across the platform.
We’re looking for a systems-focused engineer to join the team behind our canvas engine — a modern C++ codebase compiled to WebAssembly and integrated with a TypeScript framework that follows a React-like declarative model. The engine handles layout, animation, interaction logic, and client-side data modeling, forming the core of how interactive content behaves on the canvas.
You’ll contribute to internal systems and developer-facing APIs that power higher-level functionality, working across the C++/TypeScript boundary. This role involves solving deep technical problems, optimizing performance, and evolving architecture — not building UI or product-facing features.
We’re opening this role to increase the team’s capacity for foundational improvements and to support long-term technical evolution. You’ll be part of a small, experienced team focused on performance, correctness, and developer experience at the lowest levels of the stack.
