Jobs at Canvas

Help build what comes next for financial markets.

Canvas is building the systems that connect digital money and tokenised assets to the financial world. We have already helped make Australian financial history. The next chapter needs people who want to build it with us.

Our story

Two decades in payments. A new financial system to build.

David and Daniel Lavecky have built financial technology together for more than 20 years. Their first company, Pure Commerce, grew with the internet economy and was acquired by Euronet Worldwide in 2013.

Canvas is their next chapter: bringing payments experience to digital money, tokenised assets, and the infrastructure institutions need to use them.

The aim is practical. Make new forms of money and markets work inside the financial system, not alongside it.

“It wasn't a straight line … get back up, dust yourself off, and keep pushing along.”
David Lavecky, reflecting on the 13-year Pure Commerce journey in his Decential founder profile.

The opportunity ahead

The hard part is making new markets work in the real world.

New forms of money and assets have to do more than move quickly. They have to earn trust, meet regulatory obligations, and connect with institutions that cannot afford uncertainty.

That is why the work at Canvas spans software, operations, risk, compliance, and market structure. The technology matters. So does everything around it.

  • Build for trust

    Reliability, control, and compliance are part of the product.

  • Connect old and new

    The work sits between established infrastructure and new forms of money and assets.

  • Turn research into working systems

    The goal is useful infrastructure, not an experiment that ends with a demonstration.
