Senior Software Engineer, Site Reliability

Asana’s rapid growth brings new challenges in keeping our systems fast, reliable, and resilient. As our product evolves, we’re making a major investment in reliability – and building a brand new SRE team in Warsaw is a key part of that strategy. This is your chance to help shape it from day one.

This isn’t a traditional “ops” role – we’re looking for strong software engineers who are passionate about building reliable, distributed systems. You’ll work closely with a small SRE team in San Francisco, infrastructure engineers in Reykjavik, and an established infrastructure team in Warsaw. Warsaw will be a significant hub for our future infrastructure engineering and operations. As one of the first engineers here, you’ll have a real say in how we build reliable infrastructure, manage incidents, and support the rest of the company.

This role is based in our Warsaw office with an office-centric hybrid schedule - in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

We offer a Contract of Employment (UoP) for our employees in Poland.

What you’ll do:

• Influence the future of Asana’s SRE practice, especially as we grow the Warsaw team.
• Lead reliability-focused projects across our stack – from infrastructure to tooling to incident response.
• Define and implement Asana’s incident management process – we’re investing here, and you’ll help shape how it works.
• Build internal platforms and frameworks that help other teams improve the reliability of their services.
• Be part of (and help shape) a sustainable on-call rotation – shared across teams in Warsaw, San Francisco, and Reykjavik. On average, we handle ~1 page per day, but it’s not constant, and we care about keeping things sane.
• Work with our stack: AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), Datadog, MySQL (RDS), ElasticSearch (OpenSearch), Redis, DynamoDB, Terraform, TypeScript, Scala, Go, and Python. (Yeah, we know this sounds like buzzword bingo – but we want this post to actually show up in your searches.)

About you:

• You’re a strong and experienced software engineer who’s comfortable writing and reading code – this isn’t an ops role.
• You care about reliability, scalability, and long-term maintainability, not just quick fixes.
• You might have worked as an SRE before – or maybe you were a product engineer who kept getting pulled into infra work because you cared about how systems actually run.
• You’ve seen systems at scale (or want to), and you’re excited about solving infrastructure problems that have broad impact.
• You’re curious, take initiative, and aren’t afraid to work in ambiguous spaces – especially important on a brand new team.
• You collaborate well across teams and want to help others build more reliable systems.
• You don’t need to know our exact stack, but you’re eager to learn whatever it takes to make things better.
• You demonstrate curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision-making.

Why this role?

• Founding team: You’ll be one of the first SREs in Warsaw – and a key player in a growing team.
• Drive real change: This isn’t a role where you’ll just patch up legacy systems. We are expecting (and supporting) real architectural changes to improve reliability, scalability, and long-term operability.
• Big impact: Our product is scaling fast, and reliability is a top company priority.
• Room to grow: As this team grows, so will your influence – whether you want to lead projects, mentor others, or help shape how we scale.
• Global collaboration: Work closely with experienced engineers in San Francisco, Reykjavik, and Warsaw, while helping build the future of SRE at Asana.

What we offer:

• Generous, transparent and fair compensation system (base salary and generous Restricted Stock Unit for Asana Inc.).
• Contract of Employment (with &l
