The AI orchestration of your wildest imagination.

n8n is the open AI 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 160 - 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 145k+ GitHub stars, making us one of the world’s Top 40 most popular projects
Been ranked as one of Europe’s most promising privately held SaaS startups (4th in Sifted’s 2025 B2B SaaS Rising 100)
Raised $240m to date, from Sequoia’s first German seed to our recent $180m Series C - bringing us to a $2.5bn valuation
And are grateful for our 94 eNPS score (most companies would call 70 excellent)

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 enable internal teams to design, build, and scale AI-powered automations with n8n that reduce manual work, surface the right data at the right time, and unlock new LLM-driven capabilities.

To do so, here are your responsibilities:

Requirements discovery and prioritization

Partner with Support, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and People to uncover high-impact automation opportunities.
Translate business goals into clear technical specs with success metrics.
Prioritize pragmatically by impact and effort to ship value fast.

Build and ship AI + automation workflows

Design, implement, and maintain n8n workflows combining APIs, data stores, and LLM capabilities.
Use functions, expressions, and custom JavaScript where needed to keep logic clean and testable.
Instrument workflows for observability, error handling, retries, auditability, and versioning.

AI enablement and safety

Apply RAG, structured output parsing, and tool-use patterns where appropriate to increase reliability.
Enforce data governance and privacy guardrails when handling sensitive information.

Rollout and lifecycle ownership

Document clearly, provide handover and training, and iterate based on feedback and telemetry.
Maintain a backlog of improvements and deprecations to keep workflows healthy and cost-efficient.

Internal n8n advocacy

Share patterns, templates, and best practices for “how n8n uses n8n” across teams.
Capture product gaps and collaborate with Product and Engineering to shape the roadmap.
