About Engineering Manager, API

  Asana’s API gives external developers the power and flexibility to extend Asana's functionality in creative ways that Asana doesn't yet provide. In turn, this rich ecosystem of apps, integrations, and scripts helps us ensure that Asana can support every customer use case out there – no matter how big or small the team, and no matter which tools or workflows they use. The API team at Asana builds the Developer Platform that makes this possible; we own the gateway that facilitates data flow in and out of Asana.

  We’re looking for an empathetic and strategic Engineering Manager to lead this engineering team that extends across platforms and products. You’ll work closely with your Tech Lead and Product Manager to help the API team craft and deliver a vision, strategy, and roadmap that drives tremendous value to our largest customers.
