About the role
The AI Retrieval team powers the intelligence behind Asana's AI features by finding relevant work graph content and delivering it to LLM context windows. Our work enables AI features that truly understand your work—both within and outside of Asana—and use that understanding to take action. We also own Asana's traditional search experience.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the AI Retrieval team, you'll build the systems that make Asana's AI smart and responsive. You'll tackle challenging problems in search and retrieval, working to improve the speed, cost-efficiency, and quality of our systems while expanding their capabilities to new data sources.
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.
What you'll achieve
- Reduce the latency and cost of our retrieval system, making Asana's AI features faster and more efficient
- Improve the quality and relevance of search results to help users find exactly what they need
- Expand the retrieval system's capabilities to query new Asana objects and third-party data sources
- Build and optimize search infrastructure using OpenSearch/ElasticSearch
- Contribute to ML-powered features like embeddings-based retrieval and semantic search
