Manager, IT Client Endpoint Engineering

The IT Systems Engineering team builds the systems and processes that keep Asana running: endpoint management, identity, and the enterprise applications every Asana employee uses every day. As Manager of IT Applications and Client Platform Engineering, you’ll lead four engineers: two on client platform, two on applications. You report directly to the Head of IT Systems Engineering. This is a player/coach role: you set direction, run planning, and step in on escalations and architecture decisions while your engineers own most of the day-to-day. Your primary depth is in endpoint engineering; you have enough SaaS administration background to lead the apps side without micromanaging it. We’re looking for someone who knows endpoint work deeply and is ready to grow as a manager. Your title history matters less than technical foundation and how you work with people. 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 you’re interviewing for this role, your recruiter will share more about the in-office requirements. What you’ll achieve 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 mana
