We’re looking for a backend-oriented engineer to join our Data Infrastructure team in Vancouver to scale the foundation of how Asana measures success. The Data Infrastructure team builds the infrastructure responsible for consuming, exposing, and creating product and product-derived datasets, owning the pipelines that transport and process data from all of Asana’s product surfaces. You will lead the design and execution of high-bandwidth logging systems and experimentation frameworks that empower every product team at Asana to make data-driven decisions. As a senior member of the team, you’ll solve hard technical challenges and magnify the impact of those around you through mentorship and operational excellence. This role is based in our Vancouver 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
- Design, develop, and maintain medium to large-scale projects related to logging and experimentation, acting as a subject matter expert for our Vancouver engineering site.
- Scale and optimize our in-house experimentation and feature flagging framework, ensuring reliable, low-latency execution for logic sitting in the critical path of every Asana user session.
- Define and implement the next generation of our logging APIs, establishing the high-fidelity data contracts used across the company to architect solutions for unique observability challenges.
- Curate the observability experience for Asana’s engineers, working at the interface of vendor capabilities and internal workflows to provide out-of-the-box monitoring and debugging.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Infrastructure, and Data Science teams to align our infrastructure with the evolving needs of Asana’s strategy.
- Facilitate technical clarity across teams by writing high-quality design docs and documentation that scale your impact beyond your immediate projects.
About you
- Software, Data, or Infrastructure Engineering background with experience shipping production-grade code and navigating both application development and data-intensive backends.
- 5+ years of experience designing and shipping production-ready systems, with a focus on building scalable backend services, distributed systems, or cloud-native infrastructure.
- Familiarity with at least one of the following, or a strong interest to learn: distributed data processing, experiment and feature flag rollout systems, and modern observability and logging platforms.
- Demonstrates curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn
