Role summary

Asana is seeking a Software Engineer to join their AI Teammates Platform (AITP) team in San Francisco. This role focuses on building the core systems behind agentic execution, including model evaluation, tool orchestration, and platform APIs for AI across Asana engineering. The ideal candidate will have 2+ years of experience with large codebases, a strong understanding of SaaS applications, and a passion for improving team productivity through AI. Responsibilities include contributing to a complex SaaS application, working with asynchronous jobs and algorithms, and partnering with legal on data privacy solutions. This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco.

AI Teammates are Asana’s flagship AI innovation - autonomous agents embedded directly into enterprise workflows that reason, act, and proactively drive work forward. The AI Teammates Platform (AITP) team owns the execution engine and platform layer that makes these AI Teammates effective, reliable, and scalable.

We build the core systems behind agentic execution: model evaluation and rollouts, proactive detection of blocked work, execution quality infrastructure, tool orchestration, and the platform APIs that power AI across all of Asana engineering. Rather than building a monolithic feature, we build a composable foundation. If a Teammate reasons, acts, or autonomously improves - that’s us.

We’re looking for people who care deeply about customers and are passionate about building products that improve the way millions of teams work together. As a member of the team developing the software of a product-led company, you won’t just code — you will be an integral part of the entire product development process, from conception to post-launch reflection. Asana is helping teams become significantly more productive with our leading work management platform. You will be manifesting continuous improvements in their experience and helping us achieve our mission to enable all teams to work together effortlessly.

This role is based in our San Francisco office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do and the teams with which you partner. If you're interviewing for this role, your recruiter will share more about the in-office requirements.

What you’ll achieve

  • Work in a high-performance, dynamic team with a strong focus on velocity and software quality
  • Contribute to building a complex SaaS application that is a market leader in its segment
  • Gain exposure to Asana’s core infrastructure, particularly how data is represented, stored, and deleted in the storage layer
  • Work with asynchronous jobs and implement algorithms that efficiently traverse the Asana Work Graph
  • Partner with legal to implement data ownership rules, requiring simple and effective technical solutions to make this process easy and clear to customers
  • Drive large, impactful projects, delivering features that will be rolled out and used in large organizations
  • Support other teams and stakeholders that work in the team’s space
  • About you

  • 2+ years of experience working within large, well-maintained codebases
  • Strong communication skills for collaborating with cross-functional partners (e.g., PM, design)
  • Sound judgment when balancing moving quickly with producing quality code and long-term code maintainability
  • Passionate about creating an exceptional user experience and attentive to details
  • Appreciate productivity and care deeply about helping teams collaborate more effectively and efficiently, including your own
  • Excited to be a part of an inclusive culture where everyone brings the aspects of themselves to the workplace that they need to thrive
  • Demonstrates curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision-making
  • At Asana, we're committed to building teams that include a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills, as this is critical to helping us achieve our mission. If you're interested in this role and don't meet every listed requirement, we still encourage you to apply.

    What we’ll offer

    Our comprehensive compensation package plays a big part in how we recognize you for the impact you have on our path to achieving our mission. We believe that compensation should be reflective of the value you create relative to the market value of your role. To ensure pay is fair and not impacted by biases, we're committed to looking at market value which is why we check ourselves and conduct a yearly pay equity audit.
