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. AI Teammates represent Asana’s shift from tracking work to getting work done.

We are 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.

The AI Teammates Platform team owns the execution engine and capability layer that powers Asana’s AI agents: the core systems that determine how Teammates reason, execute, and improve over time. The team’s ownership spans model upgrades (evaluating, integrating, and rolling out new LLMs), proactive and autonomous agent behavior, platform and developer experience for Asana’s broader engineering organization, and quality and evaluation infrastructure.

Peer teams include Agent Orchestration and AI Chat.

• Lead and grow the AI Teammates Platform team of approximately eight senior engineers, setting technical direction and driving execution on core AI agent capabilities.
• Own the technical vision for the execution engine, including model integration, proactive agent behavior, and evaluation infrastructure.
• Drive the team’s model upgrade pipeline by evaluating new LLMs and balancing execution quality against latency and cost.
• Build and maintain the platform that enables other Asana engineering teams to build AI‑powered features on top of AI Teammates.
• Partner with Product, Design, and Data Science to define and execute roadmap priorities that support Asana’s top company priority.
• Collaborate with peer teams like Agent Orchestration and AI Chat on shared infrastructure, APIs, and cross‑team initiatives.
• Drive team delivery pace and improve engineering velocity while championing the adoption of AI coding tools.
• Attract, retain, and develop exceptional senior engineering talent in a highly competitive market.
