About the role

The AI orchestration of your wildest imagination.

n8n is the open workflow orchestration platform built for the new era of AI. We give technical teams the freedom of code with the speed of no-code, so they can automate faster, smarter, and without limits. Backed by a fiercely inventive community and 500+ builder-approved integrations, we’re changing the way people bring systems together and scale ideas for impact.

Since our founding in 2019, we’ve grown into a diverse team of over 260 - working across Europe and the US, connected by a shared builder spirit and with our centre of gravity in Berlin. Along the way, we’ve:

Cultivated a community of more than 650,000 active developers and builders

Earned 190K+ GitHub stars, making us one of the world’s Top 40 most popular projects

Backed by top investors, from Sequoia’s first German seed to our SAP's recent strategic investment - bringing us to a $5.2bn valuation

That’s the company we’ve built. Now we’d love to see what you can build. If you’re applying, try n8n out - whether you’re technical or not - and share a screenshot of your first workflow with us. The easiest place to start is here: app.n8n.cloud/register .

We’re in a defining moment of an incredible journey. Come and build with us.

🎯 Your main goal will be to identify and reduce security risks across n8n's product and internal systems , using threat modelling, hands-on security expertise, and cross-functional collaboration to help teams design, build, and operate more secure systems.

You'll join our growing security team at a pivotal stage, acting as a trusted security partner to teams across the business. You'll help us build a move from reactive security management to a proactive, scalable security practice.

Here's what you'll be driving:

Threat Modelling, Risk Assessment & Security Design

Conduct threat modelling and risk assessments across product features, AI agents, cloud infrastructure, corporate IT, internal applications, and data systems, identifying vulnerabilities and recommending practical mitigations.

Partner with Engineering, Cloud, IT, and Data teams to review security designs, define actionable security requirements, and influence the implementation of appropriate controls.

Help teams embed security into their development processes through secure coding guidance, design reviews, documentation, and security tooling that enables them to identify and address risks independently.

Vulnerability Management & Coordinated Disclosure

Participate in the security triage rotation, assessing incoming vulnerability reports, validating findings, and prioritising remediation based on severity and business impact.

Collaborate with engineering teams to coordinate vulnerability remediation, verify fixes, and support secure patch and release processes.

Help manage our vulnerability disclosure and bug bounty programmes, including engagement with security researchers, coordinated disclosures, and GitHub Security Advisories.

Security Operations & Incident Readiness

Help establish and improve logging, detection, and protective monitoring capabilities across our infrastructure, corporate systems, and internal applications.

Develop and improve incident response processes, runbooks, and exercises to strengthen our ability to detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents.

Work closely with system owners to identify security gaps, prioritise remediation, and verify that implemented controls effectively reduce risk.

Customer Trust & Compliance Engineering

Requirements

·🛠️ Technical Security Expertise: You can validate security findings, reproduce vulnerabilities, develop proof-of-concepts, and write code or automation when needed to demonstrate risks or improve security processes.
·🤝 Cross-functional Influence: You're comfortable acting as an internal security consultant, advising teams, challenging technical decisions constructively, and influencing stakeholders without direct authority.
·🎯 Risk Remediation & Ownership: You've helped secure systems you don't directly own, translating security findings into actionable requirements and working with responsible teams to ensure effective remediation.
·🤖 AI & LLM Fluency: You're comfortable using LLM-assisted tooling and understand its limitations, security implications, and potential failure modes.
·✍️ Clear Communication: You can explain complex security risks, document technical findings, and provide practical guidance that engineers and non-technical stakeholders can confidently act on.

Benefits

·Competitive compensation 💸 – We offer fair and attractive pay.
·Ownership 💪 – Our core value is to “empower others,” and we mean it—you’ll get a slice of n8n with equity.
·Work/life balance 🏖️ – We work hard but ensure you have time to recharge:
·Europe: 30 days of vacation, plus public holidays wherever you are.
·US: 20 vacation days, 8 sick days, plus public holidays wherever you are.
