Work management software for teams and AI agents. Plan, automate, and execute critical workflows together. Backed by a16z and Founders Fund.
About the role
We’re looking for an experienced Technical Lead to drive the technical strategy, architecture, and execution for the AI Teammates Platform. You will bridge the gap between frontier AI capability and enterprise-grade software engineering, operating in close partnership with frontier model providers while building systems that scale to millions of users.
What they're looking for
- 6+ years of software engineering experience working in large codebases, with strong backend, systems, or reliability fundamentals
- 2+ years leading engineering teams or serving as a technical lead, with a track record of driving technical strategy, timeline planning, and risk mitigation
- Experience or deep interest in Applied AI / Agentic Systems: Familiarity with agent orchestration, tool integration, model evaluation frameworks, RAG, or production LLM observability
- Quick learner and comfortable transitioning between different contexts and codebases, enabling you to jump in and rapidly unblock teammates facing thorny obstacles
- Deep project management experience including high-level timeline planning, risk mitigation, stakeholder management, and coordinating the work of others
- Passionate about mentoring engineers at all skill levels, able to identify technical growth opportunities and deliver thoughtful, candid feedback
More about this role
AI Teammates are Asana’s flagship AI innovation - autonomous agents embedded directly into enterprise workflows that reason, act, and proactively drive work forward. The AI Teammates Platform (AITP) team owns the execution engine and platform layer that makes these AI Teammates effective, reliable, and scalable.
We build the core systems behind agentic execution: model evaluation and rollouts, proactive detection of blocked work, execution quality infrastructure, tool orchestration, and the platform APIs that power AI across all of Asana engineering. Rather than building a monolithic feature, we build a composable foundation. If a Teammate reasons, acts, or autonomously improves - that’s us.
