About the job

Asana is looking for a deeply technical, customer-facing Forward Deployed Engineer to help product development organizations deploy Command, a new offering from Asana. This role is based in our San Francisco or New York City office with an office-centric hybrid schedule.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with Engineering leaders, platform teams, administrators, and hands-on builders to connect Command to the systems where work already happens.
  • Establish the technical and operational foundations for adoption and help teams develop more effective ways of planning, building, shipping, and learning.
  • Move between cloud infrastructure, integrations, workflow design, automation, product enablement, and engineering coaching.
  • Work directly in customer environments — configuring secure access to source-control, CI/CD, ticketing, and identity systems, or pairing with engineering teams to design release workflows.
  • Write production-quality code when needed and turn customer-specific solutions into reusable product capabilities.

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of experience in software engineering, forward deployed engineering, customer engineering, solutions engineering, implementation engineering, or a similar technical customer-facing role.
  • Strong coding and systems-thinking skills, with the ability to move from whiteboard to production.
  • Strong understanding of product development and engineering workflows, and familiarity with the systems those teams use to plan, build, ship, and debug software.
  • Experience building or integrating software across APIs, event flows, data models, permissions, automation, or agent-based workflows.
  • Strong technical judgment: you know when to customize, when to simplify, and when to push for productization.
  • Ability to work directly with customers and internal stakeholders without heavy structure.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the answer is not already documented.
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain technical tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Demonstrates curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them.

Compensation

For this role, the estimated base salary range is between $248,000 - $282,000. The actual base salary will vary based on various factors, including market and individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process. In addition to base salary, your compensation package may include additional components such as equity, sales incentive pay (for most sales roles), and benefits.

Benefits

  • Mental health, wellness & fitness benefits
  • Career coaching & support
  • Inclusive family building benefits
  • Long-term savings or retirement plans
  • In-office culinary options to cater to your dietary preferences
