Description
Developer Advocate
We’re looking for an experienced Developer Advocate in our SF Office. Our work informs teams at every level of the company and drives key roadmap decisions. Asana’s developer platform is growing, and we need a credible external voice in the developer and AI community. This role is about presence, trust, and distribution. You will represent Asana in the spaces where developers and builders actually live: on social media, at conferences, in forums, and through the content you create, and you will represent those developers at Asana.
We’re looking for the kind of person other developers follow because they consistently reinforce a trusted feedback loop between developers and the companies they’re building with. We need someone who can speak with real authority on agents and agentic workflows — and can articulate, better than anyone outside the company, how Asana creates value in an agentic world. If people in your corner of the developer community already look to you for approaches to AI, agentic workflows, and/or productivity tooling, we want to talk.
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
- Design and execute developer engagement strategies that drive adoption of Asana’s platform, APIs, and SDKs.
- Author high-quality technical content, including sample apps, code tutorials, technical blog posts, and API documentation.
- Engage with the developer community across forums, events, workshops, and social channels, serving as the primary advocate for developer needs.
- Partner closely with Product Management, Engineering, and Design to provide actionable developer feedback and help shape platform roadmaps.
- Build strong cross-functional relationships with Marketing, Business Development, and Solutions Engineering to support partner integrations and growth.
- Mentor and guide junior advocates and community members, elevating advocacy best practices across the organization.
About you
- Demonstrates curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision-making.
- Proven track record as a Developer Advocate, Developer Relations Engineer, or Senior Software Engineer with substantial experience building developer community programs.
- Deep technical background with hands-on experience building and consuming RESTful APIs, webhooks, and modern SDKs in languages like JavaScript, Python, or Ruby.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a passion for breaking down complex technical topics into engaging, accessible content.
- Strong empathetic approach to developer experience, with a passion for understanding user pain points and championing their solutions internally.
- Strategic mindset with experience defining success metrics, analyzing API usage data, and translating community feedback into product enhancements.
At Asana, we're committed to building teams that include a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills, as this is critical to helping us achieve our mission. If you're interested in this role and don't meet every listed requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
What we’ll offer
Our comprehensive compensation package plays a big part in how we recognize you for the impact you have on our path to achieving our mission. We believe that compensation should be reflective of the value you create relative to the market value of your role. To ensure pay is fair and not impacted by biases, we're committed to looking at market value which is why we check ourselves and conduct a yearly pay equity audit.

About this role
Asana is seeking a Developer Advocate to be the public face of its developer platform and AI capabilities. You'll operate at the intersection of community and product strategy—representing developers' needs internally while building trust and presence in the spaces where they congregate: social media, conferences, forums, and technical content. This role demands someone who already has credibility in AI and agentic workflows, and who can articulate how Asana fits into that landscape better than anyone outside the company.
The work spans multiple dimensions: designing engagement strategies to drive API and SDK adoption, creating technical content and sample applications, gathering developer feedback to inform product decisions, and mentoring other advocates. You'll partner across Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Business Development to translate community insights into roadmap impact. Success here requires both deep technical chops—hands-on experience with REST APIs, webhooks, and languages like JavaScript, Python, or Ruby—and the communication skills to make complex topics accessible. You should have a proven track record in developer relations or as a senior engineer building community programs.
Based in San Francisco with a hybrid schedule (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday in-office), this role offers a salary range of $182,000–$207,000 plus equity and benefits including mental health support, career coaching, and family building benefits. It's suited for someone who already has a following in the developer community and sees this as an opportunity to deepen that influence while shaping a major platform's direction.
