Software Engineer, Automations

Asana is seeking an experienced and empathetic Software Engineer to join our Automations team. We make it easy for customers to automate repeatable processes via our Rules engine, helping individuals, teams, and whole companies to save time and reduce needless work. You’ll work at the intersection of product and infrastructure to automate work-about-work, improve productivity, and help people focus on what matters most. If you like thinking about productivity, working on complex data models, or helping users save time, then you'll love working on this team.

About the team

We're a full-stack team with work ranging from web app architecture, UI engineering, infrastructure impact, and backend architecture.

As a platform team, we focus on robust technical design, infrastructural stability, and extensibility. As a member of this team, you’ll be challenged to design and implement systems that enable powerful, intuitive rules at scale and to create a platform that accelerates the Rules engine by helping other teams build on top of it.

Automation is built to happen behind the scenes, helping users to manage and organize complex workflows and processes. When it works, it's like magic. But setting up Automations, diagnosing problems, and integrating new tools is the hard part. We're designing and building new patterns that make it easier for users to get started, while also supporting them in building complex and powerful automations as they get more familiar with the product.

Automations team sits at the intersection of several of the most important company initiatives. Rules power Asana AI Studio, our no-code platform that empowers teams to integrate AI-driven automation directly into their workflows. Beyond AI, Rules touch every aspect of the Asana platform, deeply integrating into every part of the user experience. Customers pay for and love Asana because they see their projects continue to be streamlined and made more efficient as they grow. Automation is a critical part of this story.
