Senior Software Engineer, Platform Reliability

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

What you'll achieve:

• Design and build core platform systems – load shedding, circuit breakers, rate limiting – that protect Asana at scale.
• Own critical platform concerns like ingress and egress, shaping how traffic flows through our systems.
• Define stable interfaces and libraries that other platform teams build on.
• Lead end-to-end projects, from scoping and design through to rollout, working across multiple platform teams.
• Partner with other infrastructure teams to embed reliability into Asana's architecture – not as an afterthought, but as a core design constraint.
• Debug hard problems across the stack. When something breaks in a way that matters, you'll be the person who figures out why and makes sure it doesn't happen again.
• Share knowledge through code reviews, design discussions, and mentorship.

About you:

• Strong software engineering background – you're comfortable writing production code and designing systems. We use Go, Python, Scala, and TypeScript, but we care more about engineering fundamentals than specific language experience.
• 7+ years of experience building and operating backend systems at scale.
• Familiarity with distributed systems patterns – you've thought about things like backpressure, graceful degradation, and capacity planning.
• Experience with major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure), Terraform, and monitoring tooling like Datadog or similar.
• Experience defining and working within explicit reliability and performance targets for production systems.
• Clear communicator and strong collaborator – you're comfortable navigating trade-offs with other platform and infrastructure teams.
• Demonstrates curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision-making
