About The Position

As a Software Engineer on our Communication Integrations team, you will build end-to-end features—from designing robust data models to implementing the subtle interaction behaviours that make great software feel effortless. You’ll own how work in Asana connects to the tools millions of people use every day, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, and email. This is a high-impact surface touching nearly every Asana user, where you'll partner closely with product managers, designers, and engineers across the company to ship reliable, performant, and delightful integrations. 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.

Requirements

Experience building and maintaining integrations with third-party APIs or external platforms (e.g., OAuth authorization flows, webhook pipelines, or notification systems), and a solid understanding of the operational realities that come with them.
Ability to operate independently on well-scoped projects, navigating ambiguity, identifying missing requirements, and proactively surfacing trade-offs before they become blockers.
Writes clean, well-tested, and well-documented code, submitting PRs that are easy to review, logically structured, and backed by clear reasoning and reproducible test plans.
Communicates effectively with cross-functional partners, keeping stakeholders informed, knowing when to escalate, and connecting your work to the team's broader goals.
Approaches debugging and incidents with rigor, showing comfort digging into unfamiliar systems, isolating root causes, and driving durable fixes.
Takes full ownership of the lifecycle of your work, from initial design through production maintenance, including follow-through on operational improvements.
