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

• Our annual recurring revenue is growing 6x year-over-year

• ️ With +100k GitHub stars, we are in the top 100 most popular projects of all time on Github

• We’re Europe’s 25th fastest growing startup in 2024 according to Sifted

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

n8n started off as a workflow automation tool, but has increasingly become a tool for plugging AI into your business. In fact, n8n is a great platform for blending the three fundamental building blocks of automation: AI, code-based steps, and people-based ones. With the kind of traction only AI can bring (look us up on Google Trends), we now have the opportunity to become the visual tool for integrating AI into businesses — and shaping how that looks, feels, and works will be your design challenge at n8n. Nothing is off the table!

This is a huge opportunity that requires wrestling with some questions that don’t yet have widely-accepted answers. For example:

• How can the power of AI be put in the hands of non-developers?

• What is the best UX for getting an AI model to automate a business process?

• How can we give users trust that an AI-generated process will be reliable?

• How do we make the output of an AI model easily understandable?

What you will be doing

Design AI features that solve real problems for our users

Whether it’s building a UI for prompt-based agents, improving the experience building AI apps with n8n, or designing how users evaluate AI output, you’ll make sure that designs are intuitive, effective & efficient.

Explore the space, not just the screens

This isn’t a paint-by-numbers role. We’re still figuring out what great AI featureslook likeinside n8n. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and users to run experiments, prototype quickly, and test ideas before they become big bets.

Collaborate with a small, senior team

You’ll join an existing team of talented designers and work closely with engineers and PMs who care deeply about quality, craft, and user experience. This role is an opportunity to both learn and lead: sharing feedback, elevating the design practice, and helping shape the direction of our product. You’ll bring strong design thinking and a user-centered mindset to the table, helping us raise the bar together.

Focus on real impact

You’ll design for users who areactually building with AI. Our users are developers, operations folks, and automation-minded problem-solvers..

REQUIREMENTS

️ You have high design craft and taste

You obsess over clean interactions, flows, and structure, but also know when to move fast. You’ve developed or contributed to design systems, and can elevate the visual and UX polish of a product.

You love solving messy, ambiguous problems

You thrive in greenfield areas where the path isn’t obvious. You know how to explore ideas quickly, validate with users, and turn early signals into sharp design decisions.

You’re technically fluent — and can code

You’re comfortable reading and writing code (HTML, CSS, JS) and understand how the systems you’re designing actually get built. You don’t need to own engineering work, but you speak the language and know how to move between design and implementation seamlessly. You enjoy experimenting with new ways of working, with AI-assisted approaches or vibe-coding.

Genuine interest in AI

You don’t need to be an expert, but you’re curious and proactive, experimenting with AI tools, learning as you go, and staying informed about what’s possible.

End-to-End Product Design Experience

You have many years of experience designing and shipping meaningful product features in real-world settings (and failed along the way) across the full lifecycle.

You’re user-obsessed and insight-driven

You know how to run generative research, prototype ideas, test them, and fold insights back into your work. You’re constantly learning from users, data, and the broader ecosystem.
