Staff Tech Lead Manager

At Asana, we’re building collaboration and communication software to help every team in the world work together effortlessly and do great things together. The Sharing & Permissions teams at Asana empower users to confidently share their work and collaborate safely, seamlessly, and scalably. We’re starting a new team in Vancouver, BC to help advance our mission while working alongside three of our existing teams in San Francisco. We’re looking for an empathetic and technically experienced Engineering Manager to lead our brand new team in the Vancouver Office. This is a greenfield opportunity for a Tech Lead Manager (TLM) who is passionate about staying technical and getting their hands dirty while helping their direct reports grow in their own careers.

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.

As a Tech Lead Manager on the product engineering team, you’ll focus on developing the excellent engineering team around you. You are passionate about helping others contribute more and develop as software engineers as well as human beings. You enjoy the challenge of balancing speed of execution with quality while building a product that users love. And you should be as enthusiastic about recruiting and building a team as you are about the challenging technical problems that you and your team will solve. You will directly manage 4 other engineers (a mix of senior and mid-level engineers) and will be responsible for technical vision & strategy on the team, execution & delivery along with growth of your reports. 

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

• Manage and enable the growth of the talented engineers on our Sharing & Permissions team
• Hire and lead a team full of talented full stack engineers and enable the team to scale smoothly
• Guide the articulation and execution of the team’s future roadmap and ensure the team’s work ties back into high-level business goals
• Develop and execute a technical strategy that aligns with the team's roadmap
• Set the team up for success to own several technically challenging and critical projects while providing expert technical guidance and feedback on cross-team initiatives
• Coach engineers in their technical and professional development
• Ensure a great, reliable experience for Asana users around the globe while simultaneously enabling a rapid pace of development and iteration
• Represent Engineering in roadmap discussions and contribute to strategic decisions
• Work and learn alongside great peer managers and tech leads with a strong sense of team

About you

• 6+ years of software development experience with expertise in full stack development
• Technical mastery in programming languages and frameworks such as JavaScript, TypeScript, and React
• Experience in managing a technical team or a handful of engineers and able to deep dive on technical issues and designs
• Passion for mentoring and fostering a collaborative and psychologically safe team environment
• Excited to partner with Design and Product on both large new features and daily, small product enhancements
• Focused on maximizing impact for yourself, your team, and Asana as a whole
• Comfortable with ambiguity; you enjoy figuring out what needs to be done—and then doing it

At Asana, we're committed to building teams that include a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills, as this is critical to helping us achieve our mission. If you're interested in this role and don't meet every listed requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
