Senior Software Engineer, Admin Area

The Product 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 are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the Data Management team in our Vancouver Office. The team plays a vital role in understanding the Asana data graph and ensuring the integrity and compliant use of data across the product. You’ll work on essential features touching the entire customer data lifecycle, such as data exports, object archiving, trashing & recovery, and audit logs. All of these are fundamental for Enterprise customers and involve handling and managing large-scale datasets to ensure smooth and secure operations.

Being part of this team will provide you with the opportunity to dive deep into Asana’s data graph, gaining a deep understanding of how data is managed at scale. While compliance is a key focus, our work goes beyond and empowers customers to efficiently manage their data across large, complex environments. You will implement efficient algorithms for handling vast datasets and work closely with cross-functional teams, including core infrastructure, product, and legal, to deliver scalable, secure solutions.

This role is based in our Vancouver 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.

What you’ll achieve

• Work in a high-performance, dynamic team with a strong focus on velocity and software quality
• Contribute to building a complex SaaS application that is a market leader in its segment 
• Be exposed to Asana’s core infrastructure, particularly how data is represented, stored and deleted in the storage layer.
• Work with asynchronous jobs and efficiently and implement algorithms that efficiently traverse the Asana Work Graph
• Work with legal to implement data ownership rules, requiring simple and effective technical solutions to make this process easy and clear to customers. 
• Drive large, impactful projects, delivering features that will be rolled out and used in large organizations
• Support other teams and stakeholders that work in the team’s space
