Staff Software Engineer, Admin Area

The Product team builds features end-to-end. From designing our data models to implementing the subtle interaction behaviors that differentiate good software from great software. We work closely with UI designers and are supported by our infrastructure team. We aim to delight users with both large new features and smaller, daily product enhancements—thanks to our continuous deployment architecture. We want to create a superlative user experience, down to the smallest details.

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join the Admin Foundations team in our Vancouver Office. The team plays a vital role in developing tools for Administrators to manage their Asana instance at Scale while establishing frameworks/patterns for Asana engineers to easily create admin controls for the features they develop.

This comes with an exposure to various other surfaces of the product that will enable you to work with different teams.
