  • Staff Software Engineer, Site Reliability

    Asana 4.6company rating

    Software systems engineer job in San Francisco, CA

    Asana's rapid growth brings new challenges in keeping our systems fast, reliable, and resilient. As our product evolves, we're making a major investment in reliability - and building a brand new SRE team in Warsaw is a key part of that strategy. This is your chance to help shape it from day one. This isn't a traditional “ops” role - we're looking for strong software engineers who are passionate about building reliable, distributed systems. You'll work closely with a small SRE team in San Francisco, infrastructure engineers in Reykjavik, and an established infrastructure team in Warsaw. Warsaw will be a significant hub for our future infrastructure engineering and operations. As one of the first engineers here, you'll have a real say in how we build reliable infrastructure, manage incidents, and support the rest of the company. This role is based in our Warsaw office with an office‑centric hybrid schedule - in‑office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. We offer a Contract of Employment (UoP) for our employees in Poland. What you'll do: Influence the future of Asana's SRE practice, especially as we grow the Warsaw team. Lead reliability‑focused projects across our stack - from infrastructure to tooling to incident response. Define and implement Asana's incident management process - we're investing here, and you'll help shape how it works. Build internal platforms and frameworks that help other teams improve the reliability of their services. Be part of (and help shape) a sustainable on‑call rotation - shared across teams in Warsaw, San Francisco, and Reykjavik. On average, we handle ~1 page per day, but it's not constant, and we care about keeping things sane. Work with our stack: AWS, Kubernetes (EKS), Datadog, MySQL (RDS), ElasticSearch (OpenSearch), Redis, DynamoDB, Terraform, TypeScript, Scala, Go, and Python. (Yeah, we know this sounds like buzzword bingo - but we want this post to actually show up in your searches.) About you: You're a strong and experienced software engineer who's comfortable writing and reading code - this isn't an ops role. You care about reliability, scalability, and long‑term maintainability, not just quick fixes. You might have worked as an SRE before - or maybe you were a product engineer who kept getting pulled into infra work because you cared about how systems actually run. You've seen systems at scale (or want to), and you're excited about solving infrastructure problems that have broad impact. You're curious, take initiative, and aren't afraid to work in ambiguous spaces - especially important on a brand new team. You collaborate well across teams and want to help others build more reliable systems. You don't need to know our exact stack, but you're eager to learn whatever it takes to make things better. You demonstrate curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision‑making. Why this role? Founding team: You'll be one of the first SREs in Warsaw - and a key player in a growing team. Drive real change: This isn't a role where you'll just patch up legacy systems. We are expecting (and supporting) real architectural changes to improve reliability, scalability, and long‑term operability. Big impact: Our product is scaling fast, and reliability is a top company priority. Room to grow: As this team grows, so will your influence - whether you want to lead projects, mentor others, or help shape how we scale. Global collaboration: Work closely with experienced engineers in San Francisco, Reykjavik, and Warsaw, while helping build the future of SRE at Asana. What we offer: Generous, transparent and fair compensation system (base salary and generous Restricted Stock Unit for Asana Inc.). Contract of Employment (with 50% tax deductible costs for author's rights usage for Engineers). Health insurance with dental and travel coverage (Lux Med). Lunch catering on the days that you work from the office. Career growth budget. Home office setup budget. Gym/Fitness reimbursement. Fertility healthcare and family‑forming support with Carrot. Mental health support in Modern Health. Group life insurance. MacBooks with all necessary accessories. For this role, the estimated base salary range is between 23 000 and 33 000 PLN gross monthly on the contract of employment (UoP). The actual base salary will vary based on various factors and individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process. The listed range above is a guideline, and the base compensation range for this role may be modified. Our total compensation consists of base salary and equity (RSUs). About us Asana is a leading platform for human + AI collaboration. Millions of teams around the world rely on Asana to achieve their most important goals, faster. Asana has been named to Fortune's Best Workplaces for 7+ years and recognized by Fast Company, Forbes, and Gartner for excellence in workplace culture and innovation. We offer an exceptional office‑centric culture while adopting the best elements of hybrid models to ensure that every one of our global team members can work together effortlessly. With 13+ offices all over the world, we are always looking for individuals who care about building technology that drives positive change in the world and a culture where everyone feels that they belong.

About the role: You want to build the cutting-edge systems that train AI models like Claude. You're excited to work at the frontier of machine learning, implementing and improving advanced techniques to create ever more capable, reliable and steerable AI. As an ML Systems Engineer on our Reinforcement Learning Engineering team, you'll be responsible for the critical algorithms and infrastructure that our researchers depend on to train models. Your work will directly enable breakthroughs in AI capabilities and safety. You'll focus obsessively on improving the performance, robustness, and usability of these systems so our research can progress as quickly as possible. You're energized by the challenge of supporting and empowering our research team in the mission to build beneficial AI systems. Our finetuning researchers train our production Claude models, and internal research models, using RLHF and other related methods. Your job will be to build, maintain, and improve the algorithms and systems that these researchers use to train models. You'll be responsible for improving the speed, reliability, and ease-of-use of these systems. You may be a good fit if you: Have 4+ years of software engineering experience Like working on systems and tools that make other people more productive Are results-oriented, with a bias towards flexibility and impact Pick up slack, even if it goes outside your job description Enjoy pair programming (we love to pair!)

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The expected salary range for this position is: Annual Salary:$315,000-$425,000 USDLogistics Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience. Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices. Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this. We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed. Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team. How we're different We believe that the highest-impact AI research will be big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on just a few large-scale research efforts. And we value impact - advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI - rather than work on smaller and more specific puzzles. We view AI research as an empirical science, which has as much in common with physics and biology as with traditional efforts in computer science. We're an extremely collaborative group, and we host frequent research discussions to ensure that we are pursuing the highest-impact work at any given time. As such, we greatly value communication skills. The easiest way to understand our research directions is to read our recent research. This research continues many of the directions our team worked on prior to Anthropic, including: GPT-3, Circuit-Based Interpretability, Multimodal Neurons, Scaling Laws, AI & Compute, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, and Learning from Human Preferences. Come work with us! Anthropic is a public benefit corporation headquartered in San Francisco. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space in which to collaborate with colleagues. #J-18808-Ljbffr

You've successfully resolved disagreements at work before, and you understand that the highest priority is helping our customers - not being right. You're comfortable debugging problems that occur as a result of failures in multiple, different systems, using tools like metrics and logs. You've been paged at 3am to solve a complex production issue before. You're knowledgeable about distributed systems: you get how consensus works, you know how to scale systems, and you know what pitfalls in API design to avoid. You're familiar with how to optimize the performance of a system, including a general sense of how much latency different operations take, and what kind of bottlenecks could lead to a reduction in potential throughput. Most of all, you know how computers work from the silicon up. Someone once asked you in an interview “what happens when you go to Google.com”, and there wasn't enough time in the interview to talk about all of the steps. Why join us? By building the highest-performance, simplest storage product in the cloud, we have a great chance of changing how the world builds the next-generation of applications (and with AI, more applications will be written in the next 5 years than ever before). We'd love for your to be a part of our journey. How to join? Show us that you're knowledgeable about the space that we're working in on your application. It's up to you how you do this, but one potential way is by answering one of the following questions: How do you think our system works? What do you think our biggest technical challenge is? What would make our system not work? About Archil Archil is on a mission to change how developers build applications in the cloud, by building the next, default storage platform in the cloud. Over the past 15 years, S3 has become the default way to store inactive data sets in the cloud, but the next-generation of AI and analytics applications need to actively process more data than ever before. We're solving this problem by building the first Volume storage product that's as fast as EBS, infinitely scaleable like S3, and connects to existing data sets in S3 and other repositories. Our customers choose Archil because this architecture radically simplifies how they think about working with their data (every application becomes stateless, no cold-start latencies, and no need to worry about checkpointing or backup). Hacker News agrees. Hunter, the founder, has 10 years of experience building and operating cloud storage, including helping to launch Amazon's EFS product and working on bleeding-edge storage at Netflix. He started the company after working with hundreds of customers across these roles, and identifying a need for a new kind of storage product. We're fully in-person in San Francisco. If you're also someone interested in distributed systems, completely focused on how to make customers successful, and interested in solving really big technical challenges, we'd love for you to join us. #J-18808-Ljbffr
