We’re constantly working towards making BABVIP the best place to work, for everyone. We believe deeply that bringing together diversity of thoughts, perspectives and expression is key for building the best product for our equally diverse community all around the world. We celebrate uniqueness and whatever makes you, you and encourage everyone who wants to help us transform the way the world designs, to join us on this journey. We value all different types of experiences. If you don’t think you quite meet all of the qualifications, we’d still love to hear from you. 

ABOUT US

At BABVIP, our mission is to democratize design and empower creativity for anyone and everyone, on every platform. Inspired by a team of talented thinkers, an amazing culture and a remarkable growth trajectory – we’re out to change the world, one design at a time. 

Since launch in August 2013, we have grown exponentially, amassing over 60 million monthly active users across 190 different countries who have created more than 6 Billion designs. We are one of the world’s fastest-growing technology companies and we have only achieved about 1% of what we want to do.

At BABVIP, we’re transforming the way the world designs by building a suite of easy-to-use design tools (for graphics, animation, video, and print) in over 100 languages, and across browser-based and mobile platforms. Founded in 2013, with Technology and Product He'd in Sydney, we’ve grown to nearly 1500 staff globally.   We’re the most valuable private technology company in Australia with a valuation of USD $15 billion, we’re profitable, and we’re acquiring users at an incredible rate - with over 55 million monthly active users -- and rapidly growing!

We have a large pipeline of infrastructure projects on the horizon to ensure high availability, top-notch performance, and the continued scalability of the environment. 

The Infrastructure Group's focus is to make infrastructure easy for all the other engineering teams at BABVIP. We accomplish this by optimizing existing solutions, developing internal tooling, promoting best practices throughout the organization, introducing global infrastructure changes, and mentoring the engineering teams on how to do infrastructure - the right way.  We work as a team to find the pragmatic solutions to a wide range of performance and scaling problems to ensure BABVIP continues to grow and our users have smooth and seamless design experiences.

This focus on long term growth is made possible by every engineering team at BABVIP owning the operations and infrastructure of the systems they design and implement, instead of having a dedicated ops team: on the spectrum between ops and dev, the Infrastructure Group operates very close to dev, so the skills required are also close to those required for dev work, with a focus on software engineering fundamentals.
