Rosenstein dropped out of a graduate program in computer science at Stanford in 2004 to join Google as a product manager. At Google, Rosenstein led projects in Google's communication and collaboration division.

He also invented and wrote the original prototype for Gmail Chat and many of the features in Google’s rich text editor.
In May 2007, Rosenstein left Google to become an engineering lead at Facebook, working closely with Mark Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz. He was technical lead in charge of Facebook's Pages, the Facebook Like button, and Facebook Beacon. He was compensated with 4,863,335 Class B shares ($341 million at $70/share), which he deposited into a trust.
In October 2008, Rosenstein left Facebook to co-found the collaborative software company Asana along with Moskovitz.
