Jobbeschreibung

Overview

n8n is a workflow automation platform that uniquely combines AI capabilities with business process automation. We give technical teams the flexibility of code with the speed of no-code, backed by a passionate community of builders. With 500+ integrations and fair-code principles, we're revolutionizing how businesses connect their systems and processes. We were founded in 2019 and currently:

• We're a diverse team of +140 talented people
• Our annual recurring revenue is growing 9x year over year
• With +130k GitHub stars, we are in the top 50 most popular projects of all time on GitHub
• We were the 25th fastest growing startup last year and 4th BtoB SaaS Rising 100 this year in Europe according to Sifted
• We were Sequoia's first seed investment in Germany, and most recently secured our $60M Series B (February 2025, led by Highland)

As a Senior AI Engineer, you\'ll drive intelligent features that redefine how users build automations. You\'ll build AI-powered capabilities, from natural language input to smart suggestions, that make creating workflows faster and more intuitive. You\'ll collaborate across engineering, product, and design to bring generative AI and LLM-based enhancements into the core user experience. You\'ll improve existing AI integrations, develop new ones, and shape how AI powers our product.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement AI-powered capabilities: code generation, intelligent node creation, and workflow optimization
• Integrate LLM APIs and embedding models for text-to-workflow and natural language code suggestions
• Design and iterate on prompts to improve model output and user experience
• Build internal tooling, evaluation benchmarks, and automated testing for AI components
• Collaborate with other engineers to ensure AI features are reliable, performant, and scalable
• Balance experimentation with impact: ship quickly while focusing on user value
• Stay current with advances in LLMs, prompt frameworks, and developer tools, and bring those insights into our roadmap

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience building web-based products, ideally in B2B SaaS startups
• Strong fullstack development skills with TypeScript, Node.js, and API design
• Proven track record shipping AI-powered features in production with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and understanding of how to translate machine intelligence into user value. Experience building end-to-end systems.
• Deep understanding of AI fundamentals: agent architectures, chat completion roles, embedding vectors, vector databases, and chunking strategies
• Hands-on experience with prompt engineering, embedding models, and vector stores
• User-focused mindset: you care about delivering features that solve real problems
• A bias for shipping and learning — fast iteration is second nature to you

Bonus Points

• Experience fine-tuning LLMs or working with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems
• Frontend experience using Vue or React
• Technical writing or documentation contributions, especially around developer tools or AI
• Experience with agent orchestration patterns and state management in multi-step AI systems
• Knowledge of code quality evaluation metrics and context optimization techniques
