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 lead and grow our Community Engineering team so n8n can scale high-quality community-driven development across our ecosystem.
The Community Engineering team is a small, highly cross-functional team that helps external contributors successfully improve n8n. Today, the team consists of 3 Community Engineers. They sit close to our product engineering organization, especially our Nodes team, and focus on turning community contributions into reliable product value. In practice, that means helping contributors submit high-quality fixes and node improvements, maintaining quality standards for community-led work, and building the processes, tooling, and feedback loops that make contributing to n8n easier and more scalable.
Coach and support a team of 3 Community Engineers working across contributor support, reviews, bug fixing, and ecosystem quality.
Bring clarity, focus, and accountability to a team with broad scope, varied work, and fast-changing priorities.
Help shape the team as it grows, including hiring, onboarding, and defining what strong performance looks like in this function.
Build and refine the processes, tooling, and feedback loops that help external contributors ship high-quality code, nodes, and improvements.
Identify friction in contributor workflows and make it easier for developers to contribute successfully to n8n.
Increase the team’s leverage through automation, documentation, and scalable ways of working.
Oversee how community pull requests, node submissions, and bug fixes are reviewed and supported.
Ensure community contributions meet our standards for quality, consistency, maintainability, and smooth integration into the product.
Step in hands-on when needed to review code, unblock technical issues, or support complex contributor workflows.
Partner closely with teams like Nodes to reduce the maintenance and support burden created by community contributions.
Help contributors get timely, clear, and constructive feedback throughout the contribution process.
Surface recurring contributor pain points and work with product and engineering teams to improve the developer experience.
You’re inspired by open-source products where the community doesn’t just use the product, but actively helps build it - and you’d love to lead the team that makes that contribution model work at scale.
You enjoy leading generalist engineers whose work spans code, quality, contributor support, and process improvement.
You’re energized by broad engineering problems that don’t sit neatly inside a traditional product roadmap.
You care about helping external developers succeed and turning community contribution into real product impact.
You’re good at bringing structure to ambiguous work without making it rigid or bureaucratic.
You like staying close enough to the technical details to guide quality, unblock issues, and support your team hands-on.
You’d enjoy having visible influence across the product ecosystem, not just within one engineering team.
