PpThe AI orchestration of your wildest imagination. /p pn8n 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. /p pSince 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: /p ul liCultivated a community of more than 650,000 active developers and builders /li liEarned 190K+ GitHub stars, making us one of the world’s Top 40 most popular projects /li liBacked by top investors, from Sequoia’s first German seed to our SAP's recent strategic investment - bringing us to a $5.2bn valuation /li /ul pThat’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. /p h3AI Engineering Manager /h3 pYour main goal will be to build and lead an engineering team that thrives in a fast-moving agentic, AI-native world—developing engineers, creating clarity, and delivering meaningful outcomes with strong technical judgment. This is a first-line engineering leadership role for someone who is deeply technical, but whose real strength is building teams: empowering engineers on their growth path, aligning stakeholders, and helping people move with confidence as AI agents, workflow automation, and user expectations evolve rapidly. /p h3Build an empowered, high-performing AI agent evaluation team /h3 ul liLead, coach, and develop a team of engineers building agent-based systems, workflow orchestration capabilities, and AI-powered nodes. /li liFoster a culture of experimentation and rapid iteration, where engineers continuously improve prompts, tool usage, and workflow logic based on real-world outcomes. /li liHelp your team think in terms of systems, not features—designing reliable agentic workflows rather than one-off AI calls. /li liSupport hiring and team shaping with a focus on AI engineering, distributed systems thinking, and product-minded builders. /li /ul h3Create clarity in an agentic, fast-evolving landscape /h3 ul liHelp your team navigate a space where agents, tools, memory, and orchestration patterns are still emerging and rapidly changing. /li liTranslate evolving AI capabilities into clear product and engineering direction for n8n workflows, nodes, and automation primitives. /li liGuide decisions around agent architecture (e.g., single-agent vs multi-agent workflows, tool selection, memory strategies, human-in-the-loop design). /li liCut through hype and ambiguity to focus on what delivers real, reliable value to users building automations. /li /ul h3Drive execution of agentic workflows at scale /h3 ul liPartner with Product and Design to define and ship agent-powered workflow experiences that feel intuitive, composable, and powerful. /li liEnsure the team delivers end-to-end agent systems, including orchestration logic, tool integrations, memory handling, and execution environments. /li liEstablish best practices for workflow reliability, including retries, fallbacks, guardrails, and observability of agent behaviour. /li liBalance speed and iteration with the need for determinism, debuggability, and user trust in automated systems. /li liDrive improvements in how users build, test, and debug AI-powered workflows inside n8n. /li /ul h3Lead with technical credibility in agent systems /h3 ul liBring strong technical depth in LLM integrations, tool use, and workflow orchestration, enabling you to mentor and challenge your team. /li liSupport architectural decisions around agent frameworks, execution engines, state management, and integration layers. /li liHelp the team design systems that handle long-running workflows, external APIs, and dynamic decision-making by agents. /li liStep into technical details when needed (e.g., prompt design, tool schemas, workflow execution issues) to unblock the team. /li liPromote best practices around safety, guardrails, and predictable behaviour in agent-driven systems. /li /ul h3Requirements /h3 h3Must-haves /h3 ul liFirst-line engineering management experience: You’ve led teams delivering meaningful product outcomes, ideally including automation platforms, workflow systems, or AI-powered features. /li liSignificant experience working with Evaluations driving results via evals. /li liStrong people leadership: You coach engineers effectively and build teams that thrive in ambiguous, fast-evolving technical spaces. /li liComfort with ambiguity and speed: You bring clarity in a world where agent patterns, tooling, and best practices are still emerging. /li liStrong software engineering background: You can confidently engage in discussions around distributed systems, APIs, and system design. /li liHands-on when needed: You can dive into workflow logic, integrations, or AI system behaviour to support your team. /li liCross-functional alignment: Experience working closely with Product and Design to deliver end-user-facing builder experiences. /li liHigh-growth SaaS experience: You understand how to scale teams and systems in a fast-moving environment. /li liAI/agent exposure: Experience working with LLMs, agents, or automation systems, with an understanding of their strengths, limitations, and failure modes. /li /ul h3Nice-to-haves /h3 ul lin8n or workflow tooling familiarity: Experience with n8n or similar automation platforms. /li liIntegration-heavy systems: Background in building or scaling API-driven platforms or extensible systems. /li liDeep agent experience: Hands-on work with agent frameworks, tool use, memory systems, or multi-step reasoning workflows. /li liObservability debugging: Experience building tools for inspecting, debugging, and improving complex workflows or AI systems. /li liResponsible AI: Awareness of guardrails, failure handling, and safe automation practices in user-facing AI systems. /li /ul h3Why join us? /h3 pAt n8n, you’ll join at a moment where strong engineering leadership can have outsized impact. We’re building in a space that is moving quickly, and we see that as an opportunity: to help teams stay ambitious, grounded, and effective while shaping what great engineering leadership looks like in an AI-native company. You’ll play a key role in building teams that empower others, act with integrity, move with speed and efficiency, and think bigger than incremental improvement. In a remote-first company growing fast, your work will directly influence how we scale our engineering organization and build the future of automation. /p pn8n is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. /p pWe can sponsor visas to Germany; for any other country, you need to have existing right to work. /p pOur company language is English. /p pYou care about diversity and inclusion?
