Full Job Description

The Payment Platform Team powers Asana’s subscription, billing, and payment infrastructure — the systems responsible for processing all revenue and enabling how we monetize the product. Our mission is to enable engineering teams to safely and rapidly build on billing capabilities, while empowering business teams to launch and iterate on pricing and packaging strategies. Our work sits at the intersection of every major revenue lever at Asana — from incentives that drive user growth, to the product catalogue that defines how we package and sell, to the core billing systems through which every dollar of revenue flows. This gives the team a unique opportunity to directly influence both product strategy and business outcomes. Engineers on this team have the opportunity to shape architecture, reliability, and long-term scalability of revenue-critical systems. 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. What you’ll achieve Design, build, and maintain backend services using Scala and gRPC within a modern microservices architecture to support Asana’s global growth. Own features end-to-end, from initial problem definition and design to implementation, launch, and iteration. Lead large, cross-team initiatives from ambiguous problem spaces to execution, driving key architectural decisions for revenue-critical systems. Collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders in Product, Design, Finance, and partner engineering teams to deliver high-impact monetization solutions. Ensure systems are reliable, scalable, and performant, specifically focusing on evolving cell-based distributed architectures. Mentor fellow en
