About the company
Asana is a leading platform for human + AI collaboration. We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer who brings strong software engineering skills and a deep understanding of production systems.
Responsibilities
- Design and build frameworks, tools, and services that improve the reliability, observability, and scalability of Asana’s infrastructure.
- Lead end-to-end projects, from scoping and design through to rollout, across multiple systems and teams.
- Improve the operability of stateful infrastructure like MySQL, OpenSearch, and DynamoDB – and help drive Asana’s long-term vision for storage reliability.
- Debug production issues across the stack. Yes, there’s an on-call rotation – but this isn’t a pager monkey role. You’re here to fix things properly and make sure they don’t break again.
- Partner with product teams to shape a service-oriented architecture that enables fast, reliable development.
- Share knowledge through code reviews, design discussions, and mentorship.
Requirements
- Strong software engineering background – you’re comfortable writing production code and designing systems (we use Go, Python, Scala, TypeScript).
- 7+ years of experience building and operating backend systems at scale.
- Familiarity with distributed systems and storage technologies (SQL, NoSQL, Search), especially in cloud environments.
- Experience with AWS services (e.g. RDS, EKS, IAM), Terraform, and monitoring tooling like Datadog or similar.
- Solid understanding of SRE principles (e.g. SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, incident response), but you approach reliability as a software problem first.
- Clear communicator and strong collaborator – you're comfortable navigating trade-offs with stakeholders across the stack.
- Important: If you’re only comfortable with scripting, this isn’t the right role. We’re looking for engineers who build and ship real systems.
- Demonstrates curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision-making.
