Job description

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 end of 2019 and currently:

• We’re a diverse team of + 100 talented people

• We were Sequoia's first seed investment in Germany, and most recently secured our $60M Series B (February '25, led by Highland)

As a Senior Product Engineer on the Payday team (Enterprise features), you won't just write code - you’ll solve business problems for our enterprise users. Your primary focus will be on designing, building, and delivering high-impact features that address the needs of larger teams using n8n.
You’ll own features end-to-end and work across the stack, collaborating closely with Product and Design to translate complex requirements into robust, scalable, and user-friendly solutions.
We're looking for someone who brings strong engineering skills and a product mindset - someone who cares about user impact, focusing on why we're building something just as much as how.

What we've shipped
To give you a better idea of the impact you can have, here are some examples of features and improvements recently delivered for our enterprise users:

• Centralised insights dashboard providing administrators with a real-time overview of instance health, and workflow execution performance, enabling better monitoring, visibility, and confidence in managing large-scale n8n deployments.

• Enhanced Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) allowing allowing administrators to precisely control user access to workflows, credentials, and execution data, improving security and compliance.

• Git-backed Environments to enable teams to adopt safer development lifecycles (e.g. Development, Staging, Production), allowing controlled versioning and promotion of workflows without impacting live automation workflows.
  

What you'll bring

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, primarily focused on building web applications or SaaS products.

• Strong proficiency in Node.js and TypeScript/JavaScript.

• Experience working with Vue.js or other modern frontend frameworks (e.g. React, Angular).

• Experience in designing, building, and consuming robust APIs (e.g. RESTful, GraphQL).

• Solid understanding of relational databases (e.g. PostgreSQL) and SQL.

• Experience shipping features end-to-end in a product-driven environment, demonstrating ownership from concept to deployment.

• Experience with modern testing practices and frameworks (e.g. Jest, Vitest, Cypress).

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a track record of working effectively in cross-functional teams

• You’re curious and you love learning new things.

• You value feedback, believe in continuous learning, and enjoy working with others to create a positive team environment.

Nice to have / bonus points

• Experience developing features specifically for enterprise software (e.g. Role-Based Access Control, Single Sign-On).

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Experience contributing to or working with open-source projects.

• Familiarity with workflow automation concepts or platforms.
