Full Job Description
Asana is investing in the foundations that help teams shape how work gets done. We’re hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a new Warsaw-based team focused on Builder Platform capabilities: the underlying systems, experiences, and technical foundations that make Asana more configurable, extensible, and powerful over time. This is a strong fit for someone who likes early-stage product and platform work. You’ll help define direction in an ambiguous space, build and grow a strong engineering team, and balance near-term product delivery with longer-term technical foundations. Because the team charter is still evolving, we’re looking for a manager who is comfortable bringing structure to broad problem spaces and turning them into clear plans, strong execution, and durable impact. In this role, you’ll partner closely with product, design, and engineering leaders to identify high-leverage opportunities, shape the roadmap, and deliver platform capabilities that unlock future product bets across Asana. You’ll coach an initial group of engineers, raise the quality bar, help the team move quickly without losing rigor, and play a meaningful role in hiring and shaping the team as it grows. We offer a Contract of Employment (UoP) for our employees in Poland. What you’ll achieve: Manage and coach an initial team of engineers, fostering an inclusive culture and creating the conditions for strong technical execution and long-term growth. Partner with product, design, and UXR to turn ambiguous problem spaces into a clear roadmap, practical milestones, and high-quality shipped work. Help define the team’s technical direction, balancing foundational platform investments with iterative product delivery. Help hire and grow the team over time, partnering closely with recruiting and leadership as the org continues to scale. Work across teams to ensure the platform capabilities your team builds unlock meaningful customer value and support future product expansion. Raise the engineering bar
