Job Description

We are looking for an empathetic, product-focused Engineering Manager to lead our brand new Dependency Planning team. This team’s vision is to enable teams to plan their work and adapt those plans effortlessly in real-time. The Dependency Planning team will achieve their vision by allowing users to model & visualize the relationships between projects, tasks, and time. As the manager for this brand new team, you will be instrumental in setting the team’s long-term roadmap & creating a cohesive, inclusive, team culture. 

The Dependency Planning team will be the fourth team within our Coordinate area, which focuses on core surface areas of the Asana product, namely projects & tasks. Our Product Engineering teams build 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.

This role is based in our New York City 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. 

What you’ll achieve

• Manage a team of 3 talented engineers, and grow that team to 5 engineers
• Develop team rituals that lead to great outcomes & an inclusive culture for all team members
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners in product, design, user research and data science on both large new features and daily, small product enhancements
• Guide the articulation and execution of the team’s future roadmap and ensure the team’s work ties back into high-level business goals
• Coach engineers in their technical and professional development
• Work and learn alongside great peer managers with a strong sense of team

About you

• 5+ years of relevant experience, with 2+ years experience managing a technical team
• Demonstrated ability to grow engineers of various levels 
• Enthusiasm for building delightful products and willing to role-blend to achieve better outcomes 
• Equipped with the intelligence, empathy, integrity, and technical chops required to quickly earn the trust of a technically astute team
• Biased towards action, with an emphasis on shipping early and often.
• Comfortable with ambiguity; you enjoy figuring out what needs to be done—and then doing it

What we’ll offer

We believe that compensation should be reflective of the value you create relative to the market value of your role.
