We're looking for a Senior Platform Reliability Engineer who brings strong software engineering skills and a deep understanding of system behavior under load and stress. This role is a good fit for someone who wants to own reliability as a first-class concern – building the foundational systems that protect Asana's platform, not just responding when things go wrong. You'll build core platform systems like load shedding, rate limiting, circuit breakers, and traffic controls that protect Asana under real-world load. This is deep, cross-cutting work that shapes stability and performance of our entire infrastructure – and you'll partner closely with other platform teams to make reliability something that's built in, not bolted on. Our tech stack includes: AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), CloudFront, Istio, Cilium, MySQL (RDS), OpenSearch, DynamoDB, Redis, Terraform, Datadog, TypeScript, Scala, Go, and Python. (Yeah, we know this sounds like buzzword bingo – but we want this post to actually show up in your searches.) Why this role? Reliability as a first-class feature : You won't be patching things up after the fact. You'll build the systems that make Asana resilient by design. Foundational work : Load shedding, traffic management, ingress/egress – these are the building blocks that protect everything else. You'll own them. Strong collaboration, reasonable hours : You'll work closely with infrastructure teams in Warsaw and Reykjavik, making deep collaboration practical without constant timezone gymnastics. Room to grow : This is a new team, and you'll help shape what Platform Reliability Engineering looks like at Asana – whether that means leading projects, mentoring others, or defining our technical direction. In this role, success means shipping systems that other teams rely on by default – because they make the platform safer, not because they're mandatory. We're especially interested in people who think like backend engineers but obsess over failure modes, capacity plan

We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer who brings strong software engineering skills and a deep understanding of production systems. This role is a good fit for someone who enjoys building systems that make infrastructure more scalable, reliable, and easy to operate – using code, not runbooks. You'll work with a highly collaborative team to design and build the internal platforms that power all of Asana, from product features to AI systems to offline analytics. Our tech stack includes: AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), MySQL (RDS), OpenSearch, DynamoDB, Redis, Terraform, Datadog, TypeScript, Scala, Go, and Python. We’re especially interested in people who think like backend engineers but care deeply about systems – things like failure modes, operational cost, debuggability, and performance. This role is based in our Warsaw 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 your recruiter can share more about the in-office requirements. We offer a Contract of Employment (UoP) for our employees in Poland. What you’ll achieve: 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. Abou
