Software Engineer, Platform Reliability
Senior Platform Reliability Engineer building foundational systems to protect Asana's platform under real-world load, focusing on load shedding, rate limiting, circuit breakers, and traffic controls.
We're looking for a Senior Platform Reliability Engineer who brings strong software engineering skills and a deep understanding of system behavior under load and stress. This role is a good fit for someone who wants to own reliability as a first-class concern – building the foundational systems that protect Asana's platform, not just responding when things go wrong.
You'll build core platform systems like load shedding, rate limiting, circuit breakers, and traffic controls that protect Asana under real-world load. This is deep, cross-cutting work that shapes stability and performance of our entire infrastructure – and you'll partner closely with other platform teams to make reliability something that's built in, not bolted on.
Our tech stack includes: AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), CloudFront, Istio, Cilium, MySQL (RDS), OpenSearch, DynamoDB, Redis, Terraform, Datadog, TypeScript, Scala, Go, and Python. (Yeah, we know this sounds like buzzword bingo – but we want this post to actually show up in your searches.)
Why this role?
In this role, success means shipping systems that other teams rely on by default – because they make the platform safer, not because they're mandatory.
We're especially interested in people who think like backend engineers but obsess over failure modes, capacity planning, and building systems that degrade gracefully under pressure.
This role is based in our Warsaw 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 your recruiter can share more about the in-office requirements.
We offer a Contract of Employment (UoP) for our employees in Poland.
