Engineering Manager, Automation

San Francisco, CA

We're excited to hire an empathetic and strategic engineering Manager to lead Asana's Automation product engineering team. The mission of the Automation team is to improve the efficiency and quality of how work gets done by eliminating unnecessary manual steps. We want to streamline customers' processes so all team members — team leads, individual contributors, and visionaries — be confident that their processes are working successfully and saving time. In the 1.5 years that Automation has been live for customers, we have saved more than a cumulative 7.5 years of time back for customers, and we are just beginning!

The Automation is a full-stack product engineering team. We have an industry leading Automation builder UI and discovery gallery, backend business logic to handle things like date complexity, and vast implications on remote jobs stability. We are looking for an engineering Manager that is excited to learn and build in all layers of the technology stack.
