Senior Software Engineer, Login & Signup Team

The Asana Login & Signup (LNS) team, based in Vancouver, owns the registration and authentication to the Asana app, with special focus on the security and administrative needs of large organizations. As gatekeepers, we strive to balance two competing metrics, both critical to the success of Asana: passing through the gateway should be as easy as possible for legit users but as hard as possible for anyone else. As a consequence, we aim to combine best-in-class login user experience with best-in-class security compliance.

Like other Asana Product teams, LNS is a full-stack team, partnering with a dedicated Program Manager as well as Data Science and UX Design partners. Our typical projects go full circle - from learning and understanding (or anticipating) customers' needs all the way to actively supporting IT admins in the deployment and customization of our solutions. Despite being a very technical team, we also have a lot of direct collaboration with (tech-savvy) customers!

This role is based in our Vancouver office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. Along with most Asanas, you’ll work from this office in person on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays. If you're interviewing for this role, your Talent Acquisition Partner will share more about the in-office requirements.

• Passionate about software architecture and software quality
• Experience building great UIs
