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 turn n8n’s most strategic enterprise deployments into production-ready success stories by embedding on-site, solving real customer problems, and building reusable automation patterns that shape our product.

To do so, you’ll work directly with customers, Deployment Strategists, and Product to make every engagement high-impact, scalable, and repeatable:

Drive high-impact enterprise deployments

Embed on-site with enterprise customers for focused 5-day deployment engagements, arriving with a hypothesis and leaving with production workflows in place.

Partner closely with Deployment Strategists to align technical execution with customer priorities, stakeholder needs, and adoption goals.

Build trust with technical and non-technical stakeholders by turning complex customer environments into clear, actionable solutions.

Build production-grade automation solutions

Design and build workflows, integrations, and custom nodes tailored to each customer’s environment and scalable beyond the initial use case.

Extend existing n8n nodes or add missing functionality where needed to unlock high-value enterprise use cases.

Translate ambiguous business problems into concrete automation designs that prioritize real customer value over technical complexity.

Work across industries and tech stacks, getting productive quickly in new environments.

Bridge customer needs with Product and Engineering

Identify when a bespoke customer requirement should become a reusable node improvement, product feature, or platform capability.

Create a clear feedback loop with Product and Engineering by documenting technical gaps, customer context, implementation learnings, and prioritization signals.

Contribute reusable learnings, workflows, custom nodes, and integration patterns to an internal playbook library.

Turn customer learnings into product and playbooks

Requirements

·🧑‍💻 Strong engineering background: You have solid full-stack or backend engineering experience and have built integrations, APIs, or automation pipelines in production environments.
·🧩 Integration-building expertise: You can create custom nodes, extend existing integrations, and work confidently with APIs, authentication patterns, data models, and event-driven systems.
·🔧 Product-minded technical execution: You can distinguish between a one-off customer workaround, a reusable node improvement, and a product feature worth escalating.
·🤝 Customer-facing confidence: You’re comfortable working directly in customer environments and can build trust with engineers, operators, and non-technical stakeholders.
·🗺️ Solution design skills: You can take a messy operational problem and turn it into a clean, practical technical design.

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.
