Role Overview

Your main goal will be to build and ship end-to-end TypeScript product features that make n8n safer, more scalable, and more programmable for enterprise customers—helping large organizations run business-critical automation with confidence.

You’ll own outcomes across the full stack and stay close to users, product, security, and enterprise-scale requirements.

Enterprise Product Ownership

• Own product surfaces from discovery to delivery across areas like identity, access, governance, APIs, observability, environments, and enterprise integrations.
• Ship high-quality features fast across the TypeScript stack, balancing usability, security, performance, and maintainability.
• Partner closely with Product to translate complex enterprise customer needs into clear scopes, technical trade-offs, and measurable outcomes.

Fullstack Delivery Across Platform and Product

• Build and evolve customer-facing experiences in Vue or React for admins, developers, and enterprise users managing n8n at scale.
• Develop scalable Node.js services and APIs that power authentication, permissions, workflow lifecycle management, observability, integrations, and partner use cases.
• Move fluidly between frontend and backend codebases to unblock your team and keep momentum high across complex product areas.

Secure, Scalable Enterprise Foundations

• Build capabilities that help organizations control access across n8n, including authentication, provisioning, RBAC, credential infrastructure, and secrets management.
• Contribute to safe workflow delivery through environments, source control, versioning, testing, CI/CD validation, and deployment workflows.
• Improve governance, observability, auditability, and runtime controls so admins can understand, troubleshoot, and enforce how n8n is used.

APIs, Integrations, and Extensibility

• Build and maintain enterprise-grade integrations, nodes, SDK capabilities, and execution patterns that support automation at scale.
• Design APIs, embed capabilities, and multi-instance management features that make n8n programmable for partners, developers, and large customers.
• Instrument features end-to-end to measure impact, debug real-world behavior, and continuously improve reliability for business-critical workflows.
