Asana · Engineering Generalist

Engineering Generalist

At Asana, we’re building collaboration & communication software to help every team in the world become more effective in working together and in enacting their visions.

As a Software Engineer, you’ll be building Asana’s features end-to-end, from designing their data models to implementing the subtle interaction behaviors that differentiate good software and great software. Working closely with seasoned UI designers and supported by a world-class software-infrastructure team, you can focus on delighting users with both large new features and (thanks to our continuous deployment architecture) daily small product enhancements.

By leveraging our in-house framework, Luna, you can rapidly build applications with properties like immediate responsiveness and real-time syncing. Luna really changes the way you think about writing Web applications, including the elimination of a separation between “frontend code” and “backend code.” This is an opportunity to use a new paradigm for building interactive software, and to drive the requirements for its ongoing development.

The craftsmanship of product development is deep in Asana’s soul. We work hard to maintain a codebase and a culture that are a joy to work in. Both founders are engineers and still write product code, and Asana will remain a product/technology-focused company.

Requirements

  • Passion for creating a superlative user experience, down to those little details that matter
  • Sound judgment for balancing between scrappiness and long-term code maintainability
  • Deep knowledge of Web technologies

Desirable

  • Have built a personal productivity tool before out of fun and/or frustration

Asana · User Interface Engineer

User Interface Engineer

At Asana, we’re building collaboration & communication software to help every team in the world become more effective in working together and in enacting their visions.

As a User Interface Engineer, you’ll live by the maxim “the interface is the product”. Working simultaneously with seasoned UI designers and a world-class software-infrastructure team, you can focus on delighting users with both large new features and (thanks to our continuous deployment architecture) daily small product enhancements.

By leveraging our in-house framework, Luna, you can rapidly build applications with properties like immediate responsiveness and real-time syncing. Luna changes the way you think about writing applications, including the elimination of a separation between “frontend code” and “backend code.” This is an opportunity to use a new paradigm for building interactive software, and to drive the requirements for its ongoing development.

Responsibilities

  • Build small features independently and large ones collaboratively
  • Participate in our the design process of every feature you work on, from brainstorming to prototyping to reviews and polish
  • Measure and analyze the impact of your changes through A/B testing and user research
  • Ensure a consistent user experience by standardizing UI components
  • Leave the codebase better factored and better tested than you found it
  • Drive technology decisions around how we build better UIs faster

You are…

  • Passionate about the little details that matter
  • Deeply technical with a strong background in computer science
  • Inquisitive with an intrinsic drive to learn and improve
  • Kind and mature

Asana · Product Designer

Product Designer

Justin Rosenstein recently discussed the design opportunity at Asana on our blog.

Asana is a shared task list for teams that changes the way people work together. Our product is the single source of truth for the planning, organizing and communicating among those you work with - from entire companies to personal projects. We’re making Asana fast enough to feel like jotting notes in a text editor, and versatile enough to be used for simple lists to complex projects. Our vision is for every group of people working together to organize themselves using Asana, in much the same way that email has become a universal communication tool.

On the design team, we take pride in the craft of building products: coming up with ideas, testing them against our users and our teammates across the company, creating polished design artifacts, and taking a leading role alongside our engineers in making sure our designs are well-implemented and bulletproof. Asana is a company of peers: you’ll work with people who come in every morning to decide what needs to be done to accomplish the goals we’ve all helped define, and then take ownership for the speed of the execution on those goals.

Requirements

  • A designer who is strong in all the skills needed to see a project through from concept to implementation. You will work through:
    • understanding our users and everything they love and hate about managing work
    • interaction design for a complex product
    • visual design that will make users smile and keep coming back
    • implementation details so that nothing gets left out
  • A clear communicator with the ability to talk about your designs in terms of users and to advocate your direction with the product and engineering teams
  • Deep intuition for usability, but a willingness to let go of your instincts when proven incorrect
  • Experience with an iterative design process: incorporating feedback, launching quickly, and testing hypotheses
  • A strong portfolio including nuanced workflows and beautiful visual design applied to web-based or mobile apps
  • The ability to hand-code HTML/CSS with ease

Bonus Points

  • Enough JavaScript ability to simulate the experience of your design in detail
  • Experience conducting usability studies
  • Software engineering experience: commit design-related fixes directly into the codebase!
  • Interest in tangential fields: typography, fine arts, ethnography, and psychology.
