We have deep empathy for both our coworkers and our users, to understand how we can work better together to help others work better together.

We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer (Group Tech Lead) to take on a key technical leadership role over the group of teams (collectively known as the Connect Area) focused on enabling high-complexity user workflows with powerful integrations, automations, and customizations. Some areas of focus for these teams include building a highly powerful and flexible automation engine, building/buying frameworks that enable Asana to repeatedly build a large number of integrations, and thinking about how to scale those frameworks to enable more Asana teams to build integrations long-term. As a Group Tech Lead, you’ll provide technical leadership and mentorship to a group of full stack engineering teams, while working closely with your Engineering and Product Directors to craft an overall vision and strategy for this organization.

What you’ll achieve

• Collaborate on strategic roadmap planning and sequencing and prioritize technical investments as a technical partner to an Engineering Director and Product Management Director
• Collaborate with front-line Engineering Managers on creating growth opportunities for their reports, solutions to address technical skill gaps, and providing technical feedback on their reports
• Build strong cross-functional relationships with business partners (Solutions Engineering, User Operations, Customer Success, Product Marketing) and with key community developers. Yes, you’ll be talking to customers directly!

About you

• You have 7+ years of experience working as a technical contributor in a full-stack environment, with experience as a technical leader over multiple engineering teams.
• You have experience working across a large codebase and product and a track record of successfully leading multiple complex, technical projects across multiple teams. You have a knack for identifying opportunities for optimization across multiple roadmaps.
• You are experienced in shepherding a technical design from document to production.
• You are proactive about identifying opportunities for your team or the broader organization to improve and advocate or drive for those improvements.

• You are experienced at mentoring and leveling up engineers at various experience levels.
• You deeply care about fostering collaboration and psychological safety among team members.
• You have strong communication skills for non-technical audiences. You can explain technical decisions and their implications clearly to customers and business partners.
