Senior Engineering Manager, Consumption Based Billing & Licensing

Role overview

The Consumption Based Billing & Licensing (CBBL) team is responsible for the core systems that determine what customers can access, what they have purchased, and how much they have used. This group owns the infrastructure that powers licensing, entitlements, and usage-based billing for Asana’s newer products and add-ons, helping ensure paid features are granted correctly, usage is measured accurately, and administrators have transparent tools to manage accounts.

As Asana continues to broaden its product offerings and pricing approaches, the systems built by this team play a direct role in both business growth and the customer experience around purchased value.
