Platform engineer

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.

• Identify where agentic development can make the greatest difference, using developer feedback, existing experiments and engineering performance data.
• Set the strategy and priorities across agent execution, repository readiness, CI, security and developer workflows.
• Make build, buy or pass decisions on tools and vendors, and own the cost and value trade-offs, including AI spend.
• Make decisions where requirements are incomplete and the trade-offs between autonomy, reliability, security and review effort are still emerging.
• Build alignment through technical proposals, clear decisions and working software, and report progress and impact to engineering leadership.
• Design and build isolated execution environments where agents can work with the right access to code, tools and context, without exposing secrets or sensitive systems.
• Own the safety model: which task categories agents may attempt, what they must never touch, and where human review is required, partnering with Security on sensitive areas like auth, billing, permissions and data handling.
• Make n8n's monorepo agent-ready, working with Architecture and senior engineers on repo structure, testability, boundaries and the context agents need.
• Build repeatable workflows that take Linear issues through agent execution, self-verification and review to merged PRs, across a growing range of task types.
• Integrate agentic workflows with GitHub, CI, test infrastructure and code review, so the agentic path becomes the easiest path for engineers.
• Extend the loop beyond coding: connect earlier signals like product research and customer requests, and later ones like production metrics, so agents contribute across the whole cycle.
• Open it up beyond engineering, so PMs, designers and others can turn a well-defined issue into a reviewed, mergeable change.
• Shape review practices, such as PR evidence that shows what changed, what ran, what risks remain and where human judgment is needed.
• Build benchmarks from real historical engineering tasks to evaluate output quality, failure modes, review burden and production risk.
• Define and track quality and adoption signals, such as reviewer acceptance rate, CI pass rate, rework rate and developer satisfaction.
• Use data and feedback to change course, retire what doesn't work, and build trust across engineering.

• 🔥 Frontier obsession: You live at the frontier. You try new models and tools as they land, and you have strong, evidence-backed opinions on what's real and what's hype.
• 🧭 Staff-scope ownership: You’ve led complex platform, DevEx or engineering productivity initiatives across teams, from defining the problem to sustained adoption and measurable impact, where there was no established approach to follow.
• 🤖 Agentic depth: You use coding agents daily as a power user, and you've built infrastructure around them, such as repo context and instructions, tool or MCP integrations, sandboxed execution or agent workflows in CI, that other engineers rely on.
• 🎯 Product mindset for internal platforms: You treat engineers as your customers. You start from real friction, prioritise by impact, make build-vs-buy calls, weigh cost against value, and let adoption tell you whether something works.
• 🤝 Direction without authority: You've set technical direction that multiple teams followed, through proposals, design reviews and credibility with senior engineers across Platform, Product Engineering, AI, Security and Architecture.
• 🔐 Safety judgment: You've made real decisions on permissions, secrets, sandboxing, sensitive code paths and human-in-the-loop review, and can explain the trade-offs.
• 📊 Measurement that drives decisions: You've built evaluations, benchmarks or quality metrics and used them to change course or retire things that didn't work. You care about outcomes, not lines of AI-generated code.
• ✍️ Writing that changes decisions: Your technical proposals and documentation have shifted what teams did.
• Будет плюсом: 📦 TypeScript monorepos: You have worked in a large TypeScript, Node.js or JavaScript monorepo; ⚙️ Developer platforms: You have experience with GitHub Actions, Linear, test infrastructure, preview environments or internal developer platforms; 🧑🤝🧑 Growing a team: You've mentored engineers or helped shape a new team as an initiative grew beyond one person; 🌍 Open-source communities: You have contributed to open-source or source-available projects with active developer communities; 🏢 B2B SaaS context: You understand environments where reliability, permissions, data handling and customer trust are central; 🔗 Workflow automation: You're familiar with workflow automation, integration platforms, AI orchestration or developer-facing products
