Senior Engineering Manager, AI Agents

About the role

AI Teammates are agents that work like actual team members in Asana — they triage bugs, respond to requests, draft project briefs, conduct research, and handle complex knowledge work across workflows

Unlike chatbots, Teammates are shared team resources that build memory and context across all executions, getting smarter as your team works with them Currently live with Fortune 500 customers, AI Teammates represent Asanas shift from tracking work to getting work done.

Were looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the AI Teammates Platform team — the core engineering team responsible for the execution engine and capability layer that powers AI Teammates

Youll manage a senior team of approximately eight engineers (ICs up to L6) building the systems that determine how AI Teammates reason, execute, and improve over time — from model integration and rollout, to proactive agent behavior, to the developer platform that enables other Asana teams to build on top of AI Teammates.

This is a rare opportunity to be at the forefront of Agentic AI. Youll work directly with model partners, lead the core team behind a new applied AI product introduction, and help define how AI agents collaborate with humans in a work management platform used by millions of teams worldwide.

This role is based in our San Francisco 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 the teams with which you partner If youre interviewing for this role, your recruiter will share more about the in-office requirements.
