Senior Software Engineer, Licensing

The Licensing team is ground zero for designing and implementing Asana's most cutting edge monetization strategies. Our work is complex, cross-functional, and critically impactful. On Licensing, we own the foundational software that powers functional Asana premiumness. We work closely with the business and developers to provide accurate and efficient frameworks and models that are used throughout Asana engineering. We ensure our users get what they pay for. We provide clean and performant interfaces for our colleagues to power Premium enablement, while interfacing tightly with our data model and billing backends to accurately track and reflect customer state.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will help us build elegant and efficient framework software. You'll navigate high-level, high-impact, potentially high-urgency business requirements, while working closely with your fellow engineers across the org. If you relish the challenge of building beautiful and efficient software against complex functional requirements, this team is for you!

The Product team builds features end-to-end. From designing our data models to implementing the subtle interaction behaviors that differentiate good software from great software. We work closely with UI designers and are supported by our infrastructure team. We aim to delight users with both large new features and smaller, daily product enhancements—thanks to our continuous deployment architecture. We want to create a superlative user experience, down to the smallest details.
