From the company's job description

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Consumption Based Billing & Licensing (CBBL) team to build the systems that decide what customers can access, what they’ve purchased, and what they’ve used. The CBBL team owns the infrastructure behind licensing, entitlements, and usage-based billing for Asana’s newest products, ensuring customers receive the right features while providing admins with clear management tools. As part of the wider Frameworks organization, you will build powerful, easy-to-use building blocks that empower other Asana engineers to craft exceptional user experiences through core infrastructure APIs. You will solve hard technical challenges around usage tracking and billing accuracy that directly impact Asana's revenue and scalability.

• Drive technical excellence across the codebase through strategic refactors, robust testing, and instrumentation that improves operational health.

• Magnify your impact by raising the bar for the team through thoughtful code reviews, design docs, and daily mentorship.

About you

• Strong experience building production-grade software with a focus on backend distributed systems, APIs, and complex data modeling.

• Proven ability to take ambiguous architectural problems and translate them into clear, actionable technical plans.

• A collaborative communicator who enjoys working across functions to solve enterprise platform challenges.

• Demonstrates curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision-making.

• Interest in monetization, licensing, billing, or enterprise platform systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with billing, payments, entitlements, or SaaS monetization.

• Familiarity with usage-based or consumption-based pricing models.

• Experience building admin tools or customer-facing operational dashboards.

• Background in platform, backend, or distributed systems work.
