- Experience driving projects of medium complexity autonomously and reliably, planning tasks through milestones and workstreams, coordinating multiple engineers, and delivering successfully and on time
- Passion for working cross-functionally across engineering and non-engineering teams alike
- Crisp and clear communication; polished ability to convey mental models and reason through complex technical decisions

What the job involves
- We are looking for a full-stack Software Engineer to join the Internal Tools team in our Vancouver Office
- The Internal Tools team owns Asana’s internal operational tooling platform, enabling all teams to leverage real-time product data safely, consistently, and easily
- Our flagship product is absolutely core to how Asana operates as a business and used daily – and loved – by hundreds of Asanas across departments ranging from Sales to Customer Support to Finance to R&D
- In addition, we play a key role in growing Asana’s revenue as our tooling powers the controls and instrumentation for our Billing and Monetization platform
- We own the entirety of our application stack, which includes server-side TypeScript, Flask as the application framework, and React on the front-end
- In short, we are a team that has space to innovate, moves with urgency, and delivers great impact
- Work in a high-performance, autonomous team with a strong focus on velocity, software quality and team members’ professional development
- Take on mission-critical projects and launch capabilities end-to-end that will shape Asana’s Go-To-Market motions and catalyze its growth for years to come
- Work cross-functionally, interfacing with a variety of engineering teams as well as various Business functions
- Collaborate with Product Management to understand operational tooling needs across the company, and with Design to create innovative solutions that address those needs
- Partner with Product Security to ensure access to production data remains secure and compliant in an ever changing landscape
- Help define the future of operational tooling at Asana, shepherding the company away from legacy approaches and information silos to a modern, web-based platform powered by real-time data

Our take
Asana is a web and mobile application designed to help teams organize, track, and manage their work. Acting as a unified hub, it empowers teams to effortlessly generate projects, delegate responsibilities, set deadlines, and foster direct task-related communication, transcending the inefficiencies of traditional email-based coordination.
Despite facing competition from established players like SmartSheet in its market, Asana has navigated its path, bolstered by a successful Initial Public Offering in 2020 and a track record of startup triumphs. This strategic prowess has propelled Asana to amass a robust clientele exceeding 100,000 organizations, boasting notable entities such as Uber and Air France among its ranks.
Since its inception, Asana has undergone exponential growth, with its reach extending to offices sprawled across four continents worldwide. This expansion not only underscores its global footprint but also signifies its commitment to fostering diverse talent pools and catering to a broad spectrum of clients.

Company values
- Mission: We are purpose-driven people, dedicated to serving something beyond ourselves. Having mission as a value also allows us to continually ground ourselves in why we’re building Asana
- Do great things, fast: We commit to being great at the things we do and doing them fast, without sacrificing one for the other
- Clarity: Our product and culture aim to ensure that teams know who is doing what, by when, and why, which unlocks the best work experiences and outcomes
- Co-creation: Great achievements are almost always the result not of one, but many. We bring our best, let go of egos, and work with empathy and trust to do great things together
- Give and take responsibility: Having integrity around our commitments means seizing exciting opportunities, and also owning it when we have to deprioritize something. We accept full ownership of our commitments, and empower and trust others to achieve theirs
- Mindfulness: We focus on the present and aim to give ourselves time to reflect and space to integrate what we learn. These practices allow us to collectively learn from and improve in all that we do, and to continually evolve our culture
- Reject false tradeoffs: We stay curious, creative, and open to new perspectives. Choosing between two sides of an extreme results in losing the benefits of one, so we commit to searching for a third way that incorporate the truths of both
- Be real (with yourself and others): We know that our best work is tied to authenticity, which allows for growth and collaboration. We bring our whole selves to work and commit to building an inclusive environment in which all people feel safe and excited about being their full selves
- Heartitude: We embrace what makes us human, take time to play and have fun, and create meaningful experiences for their own sake. Why do we have a unicorn flying across our product when we mark a task complete? The real question is - why not?
