At Asana, we’re building collaboration & communication software to help every team in the world become more effective in working together and in enacting their visions. As our user base rapidly grows, you will architect and develop improvements to our data infrastructure, and design and implement data analysis tools that increase the scalability, accuracy and accessibility of our data that the whole company uses to understand the impact we’re having on the world.

You’ll work with data technologies like Hadoop, Redshift, Spark, and Kinesis to enable both sophisticated and low-latency analysis. Tackle the data science questions that require the most sophisticated infrastructure (e.g. machine learning, personalization, and complex modeling); we believe that the people who design the best tools also use them. As you grow, you’ll keep taking on new responsibilities – from defining our processes around data to fighting live production fires in our data pipeline.
