Role Overview
Asana’s rapid growth brings new challenges in keeping our systems fast, reliable, and resilient. As our product evolves, we’re making a major investment in reliability – and building a brand new SRE team in Warsaw is a key part of that strategy. This is your chance to help shape it from day one.
This isn’t a traditional “ops” role – we’re looking for strong software engineers who are passionate about building reliable, distributed systems. You’ll work closely with a small SRE team in San Francisco, infrastructure engineers in Reykjavik, and an established infrastructure team in Warsaw. Warsaw will be a significant hub for our future infrastructure engineering and operations. As one of the first engineers here, you’ll have a real say in how we build reliable infrastructure, manage incidents, and support the rest of the company.
Responsibilities
- Influence the future of Asana’s SRE practice, especially as we grow the Warsaw team.
- Lead reliability-focused projects across our stack – from infrastructure to tooling to incident response.
- Define and implement Asana’s incident management process – we’re investing here, and you’ll help shape how it works.
- Build internal platforms and frameworks that help other teams improve the reliability of their services.
- Be part of (and help shape) a sustainable on-call rotation – shared across teams in Warsaw, San Francisco, and Reykjavik.
- Work with our stack: AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), Datadog, MySQL (RDS), ElasticSearch (OpenSearch), Redis, DynamoDB, Terraform, TypeScript, Scala, Go, and Python.

Requirements

- You’ve seen systems at scale (or want to), and you’re excited about solving infrastructure problems that have broad impact.
- You’re curious, take initiative, and aren’t afraid to work in ambiguous spaces.
- You collaborate well across teams and want to help others build more reliable systems.
