The opportunity
The Platform organization at Asana builds the services and shared experiences that every Asana product runs on. That starts with the Work Graph, where our customers' work lives, and the APIs that let people and AI agents act on it.
What you'll do
Set technical direction across Asana's platform, from the Work Graph and its: data model to the ecosystem of APIs and shared experiences that products, integrations, and agents build on
Partner across the R&D organization, Security, and Legal to drive a portfolio: of high-stakes, long-term initiatives that create leverage in how we build
Set the bar for good platform design, including interface design, separation: of concerns, and reliability and functional guarantees
Make the high-stakes calls on build versus buy, on vendors, and on how to: replatform without stopping product delivery, and make sure those decisions age well
Bring a grounded view of the industry, and of how AI agents change what a: work platform has to offer, into R&D strategy with Asana's senior leadership
Serve as the decision maker and backstop when a technical question cuts: across pillars, and turn cross-org disagreement into a call people commit to
What they're looking for
- Grow the technical leaders around you, from mentoring staff and senior staff: engineers to creating scopes they can own outright
- Represent Asana's platform engineering externally through talks and writing,: and bring senior engineers in the door
- + years building production software, including years spent setting technical: direction across a large organization or several
- You have built platforms that other teams ship on, at a scale where mistakes: are expensive, and your architectural decisions have proved right over years rather than quarters
