Software Engineer

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.

• Support other teams and stakeholders that work in the team’s space

About you

• 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
