Latvia n8n Full time €80,000 - €100,000 per year
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)

Mission

As n8n is growing at tremendous speed and growing in complexity as an app we are looking for a Staff Engineer that wants to work on the very core of n8n, the workflow engine. You'll design for scalability, reliability, and extensibility—making it easier for contributors and teams to build on top of n8n. You should lead and drive the change, as well as challenge status quo.

We are looking for someone that has built and scaled workflow engines or similar systems like state machines, job schedulers, distributed task processors, or event driven platforms that scales to millions of users and tasks.

These are examples of what you will work on improving
  • Scalability: Enabling high throughput use-cases
  • Memory efficiency
  • reliability of the platform (executes workflows correctly, consistently, and predictably even under normal or high-stress conditions)
  • fault tolerance (e.g. how well the engine recovers from unexpected problems)

  • Willingness to work with & Typescript as this is the main language of n8n (Great if you have deep knowledge of the ecosystem, but the language should be more an implementation detail. Might be the part of the system should be built using something different).
