The Canvas Core team builds and maintains the foundational platform that powers Mural’s visual thinking experience. This includes the infinite canvas, key editor components like widgets, editing actions, text editing, and side effects, as well as our custom-built graphics rendering engine (built on top of Canvas2D).
We're also responsible for the Mural UI and the real-time message protocol that enables seamless remote collaboration.
Our mission: to ensure the Mural editor is fast, reliable, and intuitive.
We also provide a set of developer-friendly APIs that internal teams use to build features like collaboration tools, integrations, and AI-powered capabilities. We prioritize performance, simplicity, and developer experience, enabling teams to ship quickly on top of our platform.
As a Staff Software Engineer you’ll play a key role in ensuring the Mural editor is reliable, high-performing, and intuitive for our users.
