Senior Software Engineer, Site Reliability

<p>Asana’s rapid growth brings new challenges in keeping our systems fast, reliable, and resilient. As our product evolves, we’re making a major investment in reliability – and building a brand new SRE team in Warsaw is a key part of that strategy. This is your chance to help shape it from day one.</p> <p>This isn’t a traditional “ops” role – we’re looking for strong software engineers who are passionate about building reliable, distributed systems. You’ll work closely with a small SRE team in San Francisco, infrastructure engineers in Reykjavik, and an established infrastructure team in Warsaw. Warsaw will be a significant hub for our future infrastructure engineering and operations. As one of the first engineers here, you’ll have a real say in how we build reliable infrastructure, manage incidents, and support the rest of the company.<br><br>This role is based in our Warsaw 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 your recruiter can share more about the in-office requirements.<br><br><strong>We offer a Contract of Employment (UoP) for our employees in Poland.</strong></p> <p><strong>What you’ll achieve</strong></p> <ul> <li>Influence the future of Asana’s SRE practice, especially as we grow the Warsaw team.</li> <li>Lead reliability-focused projects across our stack – from infrastructure to tooling to incident response.</li> <li>Define and implement Asana’s incident management process – we’re investing here, and you’ll help shape how it works.</li> <li>Build internal platforms and frameworks that help other teams improve the reliability of their services.</li> <li>Be part of (and help shape) a sustainable on-call rotation – shared across teams in Warsaw, San Francisco, and Reykjavik. On average, we handle ~1 page per day, but it’s not constant, and we care about keeping things sane.</li> <li>Work with our stack: <strong>AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), Datadog, MySQL (RDS), ElasticSearch (OpenSearch), Redis, DynamoDB, Terraform, TypeScript, Scala, Go, and Python.&nbsp;</strong><em>(Yeah, we know this sounds like buzzword bingo – but we want this post to actually show up in your searches.)</em></li> </ul> <p><strong>About you</strong></p> <ul> <li>You’re a <strong>strong and experienced software engineer</strong> who’s comfortable writing and reading code – this isn’t an ops role.</li> <li>You care about <strong>reliability, scalability, and long-term maintainability</strong>, not just quick fixes.</li> <li>You might have worked as an SRE before – or maybe you were a product engineer w
