TechHire Oakland is excited to share Asana’s Software Engineering Apprenticeship:

DESCRIPTION: AsanaUP is a paid 6-month apprenticeship program at Asana that equips individuals from non-traditional technical backgrounds (no 4 year computer science degree requirements!) with industry experience building, testing, and implementing software projects.

You will take on a variety of projects, like building product features, testing infrastructure, implementing subtle interaction behaviors, or designing data models. Beyond the technical challenges that we face each day, you will also learn how the business operates as part of Asana’s culture of transparency and distributed responsibility.

You will work closely with your mentor and the rest of your team, receiving feedback through coaching, code reviews, and one on one meetings. The program includes a mid-way evaluation of your progress where you will be invited to provide feedback to your team as well. At the end of the program, based on your progress, we will consider you for a full-time Engineering role.
