About the role
At Asana, we believe AI represents the future of work, and APIs are at the heart of how AI connects with the tools where work happens. As a Software Engineer on our API and Developer Platform team in Vancouver, you will help make our developer platform come to life for AI, owning the gateways that enable data flow into and out of Asana. You’ll use your engineering experience to design intuitive and secure interfaces, partner with other product teams to enable new API features, and improve the holistic experience for external developers and AI agents. By joining our team, you will contribute directly to an agentic future for the enterprise and collaborate within a high-performing engineering environment.
This role is based in our Vancouver office 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.
