Product Security Engineer

At Asana, security is foundational to our mission of helping humanity thrive by enabling the world's teams to work together effortlessly. Our security team protects Asana's employees, users, and customers by proactively addressing threats and fostering a culture of security throughout our product and operations.

We're looking for a Product Security Engineer to join our Product Security team in Warsaw. You'll be a foundational member of the security presence in a key engineering hub, partnering directly with product and infrastructure teams to ensure we design and ship secure software. You will be instrumental in scaling our security practices by building secure-by-default frameworks, eliminating entire classes of vulnerabilities, and championing a security-first mindset across our web, mobile, and AI-powered product surfaces.

This role is based in our Warsaw 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 your recruiter can share more about the in-office requirements.

We offer a Contract of Employment (UoP) for our employees in Poland.

What you'll achieve

• Partner with product and engineering teams across the full software development lifecycle to ensure security is designed and built into Asana's products and platform.
• Conduct security architecture reviews, threat modeling, and code reviews for new features and services.
• Develop, implement, and maintain secure-by-default frameworks and libraries that empower engineering teams to build secure systems easily.
• Build and maintain automated security tooling (static and dynamic analysis rules, custom SAST/DAST checks, and automated red-teaming) to scale security coverage without scaling headcount.
• Identify and address AI-specific security risks such as prompt injection, insecure tool permissions, and abuse-resistant design in Asana's AI and agentic features.
• Triage, investigate, and drive remediation of vulnerabilities from our bug bounty program, internal testing, and automated security tooling.
• Influence engineering initiatives by conducting design and roadmap reviews, effectively communicating security constraints, and assisting teams in making informed trade-offs.
• Investigate product security incidents as a subject matter expert, using logs and monitoring tools to contain, analyze, and drive resolution.
• Evaluate and improve software supply chain security, including dependency management, SCA tooling, and third-party risk in the development pipeline.
• Develop and deliver training to educate engineers on secure coding best practices and emerging threats.
• Stay informed of industry trends, emerging threats, and best practices to ensure that Asana's security posture remains robust.
• Collaborate with teammates and stakeholders to develop both short-term and long-term strategies for risk management.

About you

• 5+ years of experience in application security, product security, or software engineering with a security focus.
• Strong software engineering background with experience in languages like Python, Javascript/Typescript or Scala.
• Deep working knowledge of the OWASP Top 10 and common web application vulnerabilities such as XSS, CSRF, SSRF, and SQL injection.
• Familiarity with AI/ML security concepts, including LLM-specific risks such as prompt injection and agentic attack surfaces.
• Experience with security tools for static/dynamic analysis (SAST/DAST), software composition analysis (SCA), and vulnerability management.
• Experience performing security design reviews and threat modeling for complex applications.
• Excellent communication skills for collaborating effectively with both technical and non-technical partners.
• A pragmatic and collaborative mindset, with a passion for building defenses against real-world attacks and enabling other engineers to do their best, most secure work.
• Demonstrated curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision-making

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.
