About The Position

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Consumption Based Billing & Licensing (CBBL) team to build the systems that decide what customers can access, what they’ve purchased, and what they’ve used. The CBBL team owns the infrastructure behind licensing, entitlements, and usage-based billing for Asana’s newest products, ensuring customers receive the right features while providing admins with clear management tools. As part of the wider Frameworks organization, you will build powerful, easy-to-use building blocks that empower other Asana engineers to craft exceptional user experiences through core infrastructure APIs. You will solve hard technical challenges around usage tracking and billing accuracy that directly impact Asana's revenue and scalability. 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.
