Software Engineering Intern
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. Our software is critical infrastructure for many of the best teams in and out of Silicon Valley. This is a chance to contribute to all of those efforts.
Software Engineering Interns at Asana take on a variety of projects. One day you may be building a new feature end-to-end, designing a data model and implementing the subtle interaction behaviors that differentiate good software and great software. The next day you may instead be building the testing infrastructure that makes sure that software keeps running. All engineers at Asana are both specialists and generalists, and each role is crafted uniquely and constantly evolving. Your official title will be “Asana”.
Our in-house framework, Luna, enables engineers to rapidly build applications with properties like immediate responsiveness and real-time syncing. Luna changes the way Web applications are written, including the elimination of a separation between “frontend code” and “backend code.” This is an opportunity to both use and develop a new paradigm for building interactive software. The craftsmanship of product development is deep in Asana’s soul. It is our collective responsibility to maintain a codebase and a culture that are a joy to work in.
Read about internships at Asana in the words of our past interns here.
Asana is an unusually transparent place. You will have the ability to contribute to everything from the broadest strategic discussions to the specifics of a marketing campaign. Per former intern Brandon, “using Asana at Asana allowed me to understand the past, present and future of the company”. A goal of our internship program is to help you learn how a successful organization runs itself.
Asana will develop and support you as a human being, not just an engineer. Another recent intern, Vincent, says we are “really just one big family” where everyone is “encouraged to live healthy, balanced lifestyles”. Our regular circles of excitement “help everyone feel more open and connected to each other”. And of course, we eat some “seriously good food”.
Qualities We Look For:
- Constant desire to learn and improve
- Strong background in computer science
- Kindness and maturity
- 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
