Responsibilities
- 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.
- 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.
Requirements
- Demonstrates curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision-making.
- Experience managing client endpoint infrastructure: macOS and Windows required, mobile (iOS/Android) a strong plus.
- Hands-on with MDM platforms like Jamf, Intune, BigFix, or AirWatch; familiar with zero-touch deployment methods.
- Comfortable with identity platforms like Okta and how they connect to endpoint management.
- Can write scripts in Bash or PowerShell; familiar with APIs and orchestration tools like Workato.
- Enough SaaS administration experience — Google Workspace, Slack, and similar — to lead a team that owns it.
- Some management experience. This is a good role for a senior engineer who has led projects or a small team and is ready for the next step.
- You communicate clearly, prioritize in writing, and know when to solve a problem yourself and when to hand it off.
