Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of experience in software engineering, including 4+ years managing a technical team
- Proven success working within growth engineering, activation funnels, or PLG (Product-Led growth)
- Strong technical foundation (e.g., full-stack web development, scalable APIs, etc) and excited to partner with Design and Product on both large new features and daily, small product enhancements
- Focused on maximizing impact for yourself, your team, and Asana as a whole
- Equipped with the intelligence, empathy, integrity, and technical chops required to quickly earn the trust of a technically astute team
- Comfortable with ambiguity; you enjoy figuring out what needs to be done—and then doing it
- Demonstrated curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision-making
What the job involves
- The Product Engineering 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’re looking for an empathetic and technically experienced Senior Engineering Manager to lead a new team in our Adoption Group focused on helping new users discover the full value of our collaborative software during their first moments in Asana
- This team will move quickly, building zero-to-one product experiences that make it easier for users to explore, understand, and adopt the product — turning curiosity into long-term engagement
- You’ll work closely with Product, Design, Data Science, and Marketing to optimize experiences, build rapid prototypes, and scalable systems that remove friction and highlight “aha” moments for new users
- You’ll guide engineers in balancing speed and craft, creating both delightful new user flows and reliable growth infrastructure
- Hire talented engineers and enable the team to scale smoothly
- Manage and enable the growth of the talented engineers on this new Adoption team (which you will help name)
- Guide the articulation and execution of the team’s future roadmap and ensure the team’s work ties back into high-level business goals
- Set the team up for success to own several technically challenging and critical projects
- Coach engineers in their technical and professional development
- Ensure a great, reliable experience for Asana users around the globe while simultaneously enabling a rapid pace of development and iteration
- Work and learn alongside great peer managers with a strong sense of team, contributing to overall culture of Engineering and our growing Vancouver office

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.
