Manager, IT Client Endpoint Engineering

Asana is a leading platform for human + AI collaboration, relied on by millions of teams worldwide, and named to Fortune's Best Workplaces for 7+ years.

The IT Systems Engineering team builds the systems and processes that keep Asana running: endpoint management, identity, and the enterprise applications every employee uses daily. As Manager of IT Applications and Client Platform Engineering, you'll lead four engineers (two on client platform, two on applications) and report directly to the Head of IT Systems Engineering. This is a player/coach role: you set direction, run planning, and step in on escalations and architecture decisions while your engineers own most of the day-to-day. Your primary depth is in endpoint engineering, with enough SaaS administration background to lead the apps side.

• Lead and develop your team: manage and mentor four engineers, set priorities, clear blockers, and help each person grow.
• Own the client platform program: set strategy and lead execution for Asana's endpoint fleet (macOS, Windows, and mobile), including MDM infrastructure, zero-touch deployment, software catalog, and OS lifecycle.
• Strengthen endpoint security: work with the Corporate Security team to harden endpoint posture, respond to incidents, and connect security priorities to endpoints.
• Oversee the applications engineering function: your Apps engineers manage the SaaS portfolio (Asana, Google Workspace, Slack, Zendesk, DocuSign, 1Password, Slab, Figma, and more).
• Be the technical escalation for hard endpoint problems, MDM decisions, and cross-team initiatives.
• Push automation and efficiency: reduce manual work through scripting, APIs, and workflow tooling.
• Partner with Corporate Security, HR, Legal, and other business teams.
• Document and share knowledge so processes can be handed off.

• Curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them.
• Experience managing client endpoint infrastructure: macOS and Windows required; mobile (iOS/Android) a strong plus.
• Hands-on with MDM platforms like Jamf, Intune, BigFix, or AirWatch; familiar with zero-touch deployment methods.
• Comfortable with identity platforms like Okta and how they connect to endpoint management.
• Can write scripts in Bash or PowerShell; familiar with APIs and orchestration tools like Workato.
• Enough SaaS administration experience (Google Workspace, Slack, and similar) to lead a team that owns it.
• Some management experience; a good role for a senior engineer who has led projects or a small team and is ready for the next step.

Estimated base salary range: $194,000 - $220,000. The actual base salary varies based on market and individual qualifications. The package may include additional components such as equity and benefits.

Mental health, wellness & fitness benefits; career coaching & support; inclusive family building benefits; long-term savings or retirement plans; in-office culinary options.
