We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer who brings strong software engineering skills and a deep understanding of production systems. This role is a good fit for someone who enjoys building systems that make infrastructure more scalable, reliable, and easy to operate – using code, not runbooks
You'll work with a highly collaborative team to design and build the internal platforms that power all of Asana, from product features to AI systems to offline analytics. Our tech stack includes: AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), MySQL (RDS), OpenSearch, DynamoDB, Redis, Terraform, Datadog, TypeScript, Scala, Go, and Python
We’re especially interested in people who think like backend engineers but care deeply about systems – things like failure modes, operational cost, debuggability, and performance
This role is based in our Warsaw office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do, and your recruiter can share more about the in-office requirements
We offer a Contract of Employment (UoP) for our employees in Poland
What you’ll achieve: Design and build frameworks, tools, and services that improve the reliability, observability, and scalability of Asana’s infrastructure
Lead end-to-end projects, from scoping and design through to rollout, across multiple systems and teams
Improve the operability of stateful infrastructure like MySQL, OpenSearch, and DynamoDB – and help drive Asana’s long-term vision for storage reliability
Debug production issues across the stack. Yes, there’s an on-call rotation – but this isn’t a pager monkey role. You’re here to fix things properly and make sure they don’t break again
Partner with product teams to shape a service-oriented architecture that enables fast, reliable development
Share knowledge through code reviews, design discussions, and mentorship
About you: Strong software engineering background – you’re comfortable writing production code and designing systems (we use Go, Python, Scala, TypeScript)
5+ years of experience building and operating backend systems at scale
Familiarity with distributed systems and storage technologies (SQL, NoSQL, Search), especially in cloud environments
Experience with AWS services (e.g. RDS, EKS, IAM), Terraform, and monitoring tooling like Datadog or similar
Solid understanding of SRE principles (e.g. SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, incident response), but you approach reliability as a software problem first
Clear communicator and strong collaborator – you're comfortable navigating trade-offs with stakeholders across the stack
