Company mission
To give technical people the power of a 10x developer.
Role
Who you are
- Strong proficiency in Node.js, Typescript, with at least 6 years of experience, preferably on a cutting-edge tech product and in a startup
- Proven experience in designing and building scalable backend systems capable of handling large volumes of data, including expertise in Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) concepts and implementation
- You do not need to have built AI models, however you should be passionate about the AI space, and big bonus points if you have built applications that are utalizing AI in some capacity
- Experience in consuming RESTful and GraphQL APIs
- Solid skills in relational database design, SQL programming (SQLite, PostgreSQL)
- You should be interested in tacking the problems we are trying to solve at n8n
Desirable
- You have started and built something from the ground up—whether by leading a new initiative at your company, founding a business, or creating a widely-used side project (even if it’s non-monetized)
- Passion for automation and open source
- Familiarity with cloud computing (Docker, Kubernetes), DevOps knowledge, and/or experience with Vue.js
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our AI team which focuses on giving people the building blocks on n8n to build reliable AI Applications (such as AI agents & AI assistants)
- This is a vital part of n8n's strategy going forward as we already see tremendous growth in this area at n8n
Our take
A recent trend in IT has been an increased effort to streamline workflows by improving integration between the multiple apps which people use. n8n was founded so that users can find a balance between building systems and having autonomy in their work whilst saving time through the rapid development of complex workflows.
n8n is certainly not the first to pick up on this trend - competition includes startups like Zapier, RapidAPI, and Tray.io- but n8n believes that its product is a cut above the rest of the market, offering more flexibility and robustness at a reduced price. The company also has the leading low-code automation tool in this field.
n8n's long-term approach to the market is set to be based on two key strategies, focusing efforts on its flagship platform, ensuring that it stays ahead of the competition in meeting the demand for its integration services whilst also pushing towards diversification. It plans to launch a version of its platform under a SaaS subscription model. n8n also looks to introduce a network of consulting, support and integration services, and if the company can execute this joint approach well, it will be well-set to continue pushing ahead in the market.
