That said, we trust our Canvanauts to choose the balance that empowers them and their team to achieve their goals and so you have choice in where and how you work. Job Description At Canva, our mission is to empower the world to design. We're building AI that feels magical and lands real impact for millions of people - helping anyone create with confidence. We're looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to own the data foundations that power our multimodal agent research-building the pipelines, datasets, and tooling that turn ambitious research ideas into trainable reality. About the team We explore multimodal agentic architectures, build scalable training and evaluation loops, and partner closely with product and platform teams to turn breakthroughs into delightful product features. We are a cutting-edge post-training team, developing new multimodal agentic systems. We work on all topics of multimodal modelling, post-training and design agents, we build scalable training and evaluation loops, and partner closely with product and platform teams to turn breakthroughs into delightful product features. About the role You'll be responsible for the data lifecycle that fuels our agent research: from collection and curation through to preprocessing, quality assurance, and delivery into training pipelines. You'll work closely with research scientists to understand what data is needed, then design and build the systems to make it happen-reliably and at scale. You'll have significant autonomy over how data problems get solved, while aligning on what problems matter most with the broader team. What you'll do Design and build data pipelines for agent training: collection, filtering, deduplication, formatting, and versioning across text, image, and multimodal sources. Build and maintain infrastructure for efficient data loading, storage, and retrieval at scale (S3, distributed systems, streaming pipelines). Collaborate with research scientists to translate research requirements into concrete data specifications, and iterate as experiments reveal new needs. Create evaluation datasets and benchmarks in collaboration with researchers-curating task distributions that surface real failure modes. Develop tooling for dataset construction-including human annotation workflows, synthetic data generation, and preference data collection for RLHF/DPO-style training. Own data quality: build validation frameworks, monitor for drift and contamination, and establish standards that make datasets trustworthy and reproducible. Document datasets thoroughly: provenance, known limitations, intended use cases, and versioning history. Implement comprehensive test coverage for data pipelines and ML workflows, ensuring reliability and catching regressions early. Elevate codebase quality through code reviews, refactoring, and establishing engineering best practices that help research velocity scale sustainably. Contribute to team roadmaps by identifying data bottlenecks and proposing solutions that unblock research velocity. You're likely a match if you have Strong software engineering skills in Python, with experience building production-grade data pipelines and ML DevOps. Practical experience with prompt engineering-designing, testing, and refining prompts for reliable LLM/VLM outputs. Experience with ML data workflows: large-scale data processing and loading (Ray, or similar), data versioning, and format considerations for training (tokenization, batching, sharding). Hands-on experience working with data pipelines for large-scale distributed ML training runs. Familiarity with annotation tooling and human-in-the-loop data collection (Label Studio or internal systems). Understanding of ML training requirements-you know what "good data" looks like for LLM/VLM fine-tuning and can anticipate downstream issues. Experience loading and writing large datasets to/from cloud infrastructure (AWS) and distributed storage systems. Strong communication skills: you can work with researchers to scope ambiguous problems and translate needs into actionable plans. A collaborative approach, comfortable taking ownership and iterating quickly. Nice to have Experience with preference data collection for RLHF or reward modelling. Familiarity with multimodal data (image-text pairs, video, design assets). Experience building synthetic data generation pipelines using LLMs. Background in data quality metrics and monitoring systems. Contributions to dataset releases or benchmarks in the ML community. Additional Information What's in it for you? Achieving our crazy big goals motivates us to work hard - and we do - but you'll experience lots of moments of magic, connectivity and fun woven throughout life at Canva, too. We also offer a range of benefits to set you up for every success in and outside of work.

Chevening Southeast Europe British Library Fellowships 2027 Available for Everyone Applications are now open for the 2026-27 Chevening Southeast Europe British Library Fellowship, a 12-month research placement hosted at one of the world's great repositories of printed knowledge. Co-funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the British Library itself, this Chevening British Library Fellowship targets mid-career professionals from eight countries across Southeast Europe and Turkey-offering not merely funding, but structured access to collections that have defined scholarly understanding of the Balkans for centuries. Why This Chevening Fellowship Matters Now? The British Library's Southeast European collections-spanning 18th to 20th century printed books, periodicals, and bibliographic records-remain, by the institution's own acknowledgement, unevenly catalogued. Language metadata is incomplete, contributor records are outdated, and subject categories often reflect classification norms that predate the region's modern nation-states. The Chevening Southeast Europe Fellowship was designed to address precisely this gap: it recruits a specialist who can bring native-language proficiency, regional scholarly expertise, and data-handling skills to the painstaking work of making these holdings globally discoverable. For professionals from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Turkey, the fellowship represents something increasingly rare in international academic funding: a placement that values deep regional knowledge as a primary qualification rather than treating it as secondary to institutional prestige. Chevening British Library Fellowship: Funding and Support The Chevening Southeast Europe British Library Fellowship covers living expenses for the full 12-month duration (January 2027 to December 2027/January 2028), return economy airfare, an allowance package for fellowship-related activities, and up to £1,000 for approved project expenses. This is not a tuition-based award; it is a professional research placement. Fellows work directly with the Lead Curator for Southeast European Collections, alongside colleagues in cataloguing, digital research, and collection metadata-producing tangible outputs including data analysis, blog posts, and a published collection guide under the British Library's name. Chevening Fellowship Eligibility: Who Realistically Qualifies? The eligibility bar is deliberately high, and applicants should read it carefully. Candidates must be citizens and current residents of one of the eight eligible countries. They need advanced proficiency in at least two Southeast European languages (from among Albanian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Macedonian, Romanian, Serbian, and Slovenian). A postgraduate qualification or equivalent professional training is required at the time of application, alongside at least five years of professional or academic research experience. Applicants must be currently employed or enrolled as PhD candidates-though the PhD must not be with a UK, EU, or US university. Beyond these baseline requirements, the Chevening British Library Fellowship demands demonstrated experience with large datasets or computational methods in a library and information context, familiarity with 18th-20th century printed books, and strong humanities research skills in a collections environment. Familiarity with MARC21, RDA, and Library of Congress Subject Headings within an integrated library system is listed as desirable-though, in practice, applicants without this technical vocabulary are likely at a serious disadvantage. Strategic Analysis: Who Should Apply for This Chevening Fellowship? Chevening Southeast Europe Fellowship is not for early-career students seeking a first international experience. It is built for librarians, archivists, digital humanities researchers, and cataloguing professionals who already possess the technical and linguistic infrastructure the British Library needs. The ideal candidate is someone whose career has been shaped by working with Balkan-language collections, who understands bibliographic standards, and who can operate at the intersection of data science and humanities scholarship. The single-fellow model means competition is intense but the payoff is proportional: a year's published output under the British Library's imprimatur, direct collaboration with one of Europe's leading curatorial teams, and a credential that signals both technical competence and international institutional trust. Chevening British Library Fellowship 2026 Application Deadline Applications for the 2026-27 Chevening Southeast Europe British Library Fellowship close on 15 May 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Given the specificity of the eligibility requirements, serious candidates should begin assembling documentation now-particularly evidence of dataset experience, language proficiency, and professional references from collections-based research environments. In an era when most international fellowships reward generalists, this Chevening British Library Fellowship bets on the specialist. For the right candidate, that bet is worth taking.

James' Place exists to save the lives of men in suicidal crisis through delivering clinical services. We are a charity currently offering free, life-saving therapy to suicidal men at our centres in Liverpool, London and Newcastle. James' Place was set up by Clare Milford Haven and Nick Wentworth-Stanley in 2008 after their twenty-one-year-old son, James, died by suicide ten days after a minor operation. James had no history of mental illness or depression and had sought urgent help for anxiety and suicidal thoughts but didn't find it. James' Place was set up to make the experience of finding help as easy as possible. We offer men who are experiencing a suicidal crisis a brief, intensive, therapeutic intervention in a safe environment. Men who walk through the door at James' Place will be in a space where they feel valued and respected. We provide a calm and peaceful environment both inside the centres and in our outside spaces, accessible to men who visit us as well as their friends and families.
