This is a good role for a senior engineer who has led projects or a small team and is ready for the next step. We care more about how you think technically and how you work with people than what your title has been. * You communicate clearly, prioritize in writing, and know when to solve a problem yourself and when to hand it off. ## Description * Lead and develop your team. Manage and mentor four engineers (two on CPE, two on Apps). Set priorities, clear blockers, and help each person grow. * Own the client platform program. Set strategy and lead execution for Asana's endpoint fleet: macOS, Windows, and mobile. This means MDM infrastructure, zero-touch deployment, software catalog, and OS lifecycle. We're primarily an Apple shop with a growing Windows footprint. * Strengthen endpoint security. Work with the Corporate Security team to harden our endpoint posture, respond to incidents, and build initiatives that connect security priorities and endpoints. * Oversee the applications engineering function. Your Apps engineers manage the SaaS portfolio: Asana, Google Workspace, Slack, Zendesk, DocuSign, 1Password, Slab, Figma, and more. You set direction, stay close enough to catch problems early, and step in when something needs senior judgment. * Be the technical escalation. When a hard endpoint problem surfaces, an MDM decision needs to be made, or a cross-team initiative needs senior ownership, that's you. * Push automation and efficiency. Spot opportunities to reduce manual work through scripting, APIs, and workflow tooling. Build the expectation that if something is repetitive, the team automates it. * Work across the organization. Partner with Corporate Security, HR, Legal, and other business teams to understand what they need, communicate what IT is building, and ship solutions that work. * Document and share knowledge. Make sure your team documents clearly and hands off processes that others can follow. ## Related Videos - [Agentic employees in world's most downloaded FinTech app](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100123-agentic-employees-in-world-s-most-downloaded-fintech-app) - [Stack Overflow: Community and AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/600-stack-overflow-community-and-ai) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [Empowering Thousands of Developers: Our Journey to an Internal Developer Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1519-empowering-thousands-of-developers-our-journey-to-an-internal-developer-platform) - [Leading Through Stagility: Human Capital Trends That Redefine Work](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1717-leading-through-stagility-human-capital-trends-that-redefine-work) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) ## Related Articles - [Should Tech Managers Be Developers First?
