Software Engineer, APIs

At Asana, we believe AI represents the future of work, and APIs are at the heart of how AI connects with the tools where work happens. As a Software Engineer on our API & Developer Platform team in Vancouver, you will help make our developer platform come to life for AI, designing intuitive and secure interfaces while partnering with other product teams to enable new features. We own the gateways that enable data flow into and out of Asana, whether via our public API or our MCP server that enables LLMs to take action in response to natural language. If you care deeply about building an agentic future for the enterprise and working on high-performing engineering teams, then we’d love to hear from you!

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.
