Analytical Engineer

The Data Science & Analytics team at Asana is how the company turns data into decisions — defining the questions that matter, surfacing the answers, and making sure insight is at the center of every critical product and business call. As a Senior Analytical Engineer, you sit at the intersection of Data Engineering, Analytics, and Data Science, and you own the data foundations for a business domain end to end. Your mandate is to turn raw data into reliable, business-ready datasets that PMs, analysts, data scientists, and leaders actually trust and use — and to define the business logic and metric standards that make AI-powered self-serve trustworthy. You consume governed Silver tables and produce the Gold layer and semantic layer beneath Asana's most important metrics, dashboards, and Genie spaces. 

This role is based in our Warsaw office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, with the option to work from home on Wednesdays and, depending on the work and the teams you partner with, on Fridays. If you're interviewing for this role, your recruiter will share more about the in-office expectations.

What you'll achieve:

• Own the Gold layer for a given business domain (e.g. PLG funnel, marketing attribution, revenue, NPI/AWM): Design and continuously improve the curated, dimensional data models that downstream dashboards, Genie spaces, and ELT reporting depend on.
• Implement the canonical business logic behind your domain's core KPIs: Translate KPIs into governed, versioned metric marts that resolve "this number doesn't match" disputes for good.
• Build and curate the semantic layer and Genie spaces that power self-serve in your domain: Author the metadata, documentation, and prompt/metric definitions that let stakeholders query governed data in plain language through Claude and Databricks Genie.
• Own the metric dictionary for your domain: a single source of truth for what each metric means, who owns it, and where to find it. Partner with peers across DS&A to keep KPI definitions consistent where domains overlap.
• Author data contracts and SLAs at the Silver→Gold boundary, partnering with Horizontal Data Engineering on the inputs you depend on, and owning data quality, freshness, and oncall for Gold/metric-mart failures in your domain.
• Build and maintain certified, board-ready dashboards on governed Gold data, partnering with Data Science to translate insight requirements into trusted, reusable products rather than one-off builds.
• Partner directly with Product & Business, Data Science, and Engineering to turn ambiguous, underspecified questions into scalable datasets — anticipating downstream reporting impacts before they become incidents, and raising the data-model quality bar across the domains you touch.
