Software Engineer (Tech Lead), Consistency and Control
- San Francisco, CA
At Asana, program leads (PLs) are responsible for the delivery and technical quality of our programs. They take on complex projects, lead the work of several ICs, partner with cross-functional and cross-organizational stakeholders, mentor team members in technical design and project leadership, and are also responsible for running team processes.
We're looking for an experienced technical leader to join as a program lead on the Consistency and Control team, the team at Asana most focused on acquiring and serving our enterprise-level customers. Our work is split between two main themes: creating administrative features that allow customers to reliably deploy and maintain Asana at scale within their organization, and solving technical scaling challenges that arise when our largest customers use our product.
More than any other team at Asana, we straddle the worlds of product and infrastructure engineering, and as program lead you'll become familiar with parts of Asana's stack ranging from our front-end framework to our database clusters, and help break new technical ground as our needs grow. You'll develop empathy for the IT buyer and our enterprise customers (hand-in-hand with our Product Management team), and work internally with other engineering teams to help them write code that scales.
What you’ll achieve
- Own technical design and project execution for the team, delegating this work to other engineers on the team when appropriate
- Mentor engineers on the team through activities like pairing and code reviews to promote a culture of technical excellence
- Make hands-on engineering contributions to Asana’s core product with a focus on overcoming tricky technical challenges and modeling practices that improve quality and velocity
- Partner with Product Management, Design, and Engineering Management to define the team’s upcoming projects and long-term strategy
- Collaborate with other leads across Asana to steward a coordinated technical strategy
About you
- 5+ years of experience working in large codebases
- 1+ years of experience leading a complex project end-to-end, or in a tech lead or team lead role
- Experience planning projects and managing team-wide efforts to completion
- Practiced at owning and delegating technical design decisions]
- Experience working cross-functionally with stakeholders and PM/Design/Data Science partners to define requirements, make tradeoffs, and align on long-term plans
- Curious about Asana's enterprise sales business, and excited to get to know our largest customers while working with partners in Customer Success, Sales Engineering, and Product Marketing. Previous experience working similar functions or on a team targeting Enterprise customers a plus.
- Deep care for fostering collaboration and psychological safety among team members
- Appreciate productivity and care deeply about helping teams collaborate more effectively and efficiently, including your own
- Excited to be a part of an inclusive culture where everyone brings their whole selves to work
