Role Overview The n8n Developer combines technical workflow expertise with development skills to design, implement, and maintain enterprise-grade automation solutions that transform how businesses operate. This role bridges business requirements and technical implementation, creating powerful automations across diverse systems including CRMs, ERPs, databases, and communication platforms. You'll own the entire automation lifecycle—from building complex multi-step workflows using n8n's visual builder to writing custom JavaScript functions, developing reusable nodes, and managing n8n infrastructure. Working across industries including e-commerce, AI orchestration, commercial real estate, and SaaS platforms, you'll design sophisticated automations that reduce manual work by 80%+, process thousands of records efficiently, and eliminate billions in trapped operational value. Your Impact Your automation expertise will transform operational efficiency by eliminating redundant manual work and orchestrating seamless data flow across enterprise environments.
