Software Engineer, Login & Signup

Vancouver, BCApply now

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 UX Designers, Product Managers, and Data Scientists throughout the entire product process, from conception to post-launch reflection.

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join the Login & Signup (LNS) team in our Vancouver Office. The LNS team is responsible for handling the registration and authentication of Asana's users, with emphasis on secure login for enterprise accounts, such as single sign-on through Identity Providers (Okta, OneLogin, Google SSO, etc.) and multi-factor authentication. It is a full-stack team; tech stack includes TypeScript/React and some Scala.

In enterprise applications, user account management and login is a challenging, multi-faceted technical space encompassing software security, compliance to industry standards and legal regulations, large-scale IT administration needs, and quality of end-user experience. LNS' goal is to create and maintain a best-in-class registration and authentication system for Asana: we want it to be compliant with the most recent security standards and regulations, safe for enterprises to adopt, fully integrated with leading identity management frameworks, while offering the most delightful, smooth and seamless user experience.

You’ll advocate for engineering best practices and work cross-functionally to define and build powerful admin features while influencing the team's velocity. You'll mentor other engineers and advocate for code and component quality, reusability,  and consistency; and you'll be at the forefront of a new wave of consumer-like experiences for the enterprise and enjoy the challenge of balancing speed of execution with quality and building a product that users love.

This role is based in Vancouver, 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 and people's professional development
  • Contribute to building a complex SaaS application that is a market leader in its segment 
  • Collaborate with Product Managers and customers to understand the needs of IT admins of large enterprises, and identify features to satisfy those needs
  • Partner with our Product Security team to stay updated about security threats, vulnerabilities, and cutting-edge countermeasures to protect SaaS applications 
  • Learn about state-of-the-art technologies, including single-sign on methods and integration with Identity Providers such as Okta and Azure AD
  • Drive large, impactful projects, delivering features rolled out and used in large organizations

About you

  • Experience driving projects of medium complexity autonomously and reliably, planning tasks through milestones and workstreams, coordinating multiple engineers, and delivering successfully and on time
  • Interested in working in a highly technical space, learn about state of the art registration and authentication technologies, and software security
  • Passion for software architecture and software quality
  • Strong commitment to building the best UX to delight consumer and enterprise users
  • Continuous improvement mindset and a drive to enhance the architecture, the code, and team processes
  • Enthusiasm for mentoring and coaching teammates and stakeholders and contributing to team growth
  • Relevant experience in the tech stack (React, Typescript, Scala, SQL) as well as in UX design are nice-to-haves
  • Relevant industry experience in authorization and software security is a big plus; if you hold this experience, make sure to emphasize it in your application
