Job Description
Senior Engineer I-II – Core Workflow Engine
n8n
• Your main goal will be to build and evolve core platform foundations that power n8n’s workflow engine and frontend platform, enabling product engineers (and the open-source community) to ship confidently across cloud and self-hosted deployments. • As part of the team, you'll contribute to core platform domains and help improve reliability, scalability, and performance: • Backend platform foundations (execution, orchestration, data) • Contribute to backend subsystems like durable workflow execution & state, orchestration patterns, queue/task distribution, and system modularization. • Apply best practices for correctness and resilience (e.g., failure modes, idempotency, state handling) in systems that operate across cloud and self-hosted environments. • Improve data architecture and database performance, reliability, and maintainability. • Frontend platform foundations (canvas, collaboration, performance) • Work on the core canvas architecture and frontend platform primitives that enable complex workflow building experiences. • Build and improve real-time collaboration capabilities (e.g., WebSockets, CRDT-style approaches) with a focus on correctness and user experience. • Contribute to performance and rendering improvements (e.g., web workers, rendering optimization), and help strengthen platform contracts (plugin system, FE DX). • Technical contribution & collaboration • Contribute to technical decisions through clear proposals (e.g., RFCs) and discussions. • Collaborate with other teams to ensure platform changes integrate smoothly. • Support peers through code reviews, pairing, and knowledge sharing.
Job Requirements
- 🧠 Systems thinking mindset: You think about correctness, trade-offs, and reliability — and enjoy working on foundational platform problems.
- 🏗️ System design experience: You’ve contributed to system design decisions or worked on significant components, and can explain your technical choices clearly.
- 🛠️ TypeScript depth: You have strong TypeScript experience and you’re comfortable working in a large, evolving codebase.
- 🤝 Collaboration: You communicate well, work cross-functionally, and collaborate effectively with other engineers.
- 🧹 Pragmatic engineering: You’re comfortable improving and refactoring existing systems to make them more scalable and maintainable.
- 🧩 Node.js backend systems: You’ve built backend systems in TypeScript/Node.js beyond CRUD.
- 🌐 Distributed systems: You understand event-driven patterns, idempotency, and reliability in distributed environments.
- 🗄️ Data architecture: You’ve worked on data-intensive services, including performance and operational considerations.
- 🧱 Complex frontend systems: You’ve built architecture-heavy frontend products (e.g., canvas, real-time, collaborative, or similarly complex apps).
- ⚡ Performance expertise: You have experience with rendering performance optimization and can measure and improve runtime behavior.
- 🖥️ Modern frontend TypeScript: You’re strong in TypeScript frontend development; Vue experience is preferred but not required.
- 🧰 Workflow/orchestration or devtools experience: You’ve worked on workflow engines, orchestration platforms, developer tools, or infrastructure-adjacent SaaS.
- 🌍 Open-source experience: You’ve contributed to or maintained OSS, and understand public API contracts and backward compatibility.
- 📈 Large-scale SaaS exposure: You’ve worked on systems with meaningful scale or complexity.
- 🧩 Monolith → modular migrations: You’ve contributed to decomposing monoliths or evolving systems toward modular architectures.
- 🧾 Durable execution patterns: Familiarity with event-driven or workflow execution patterns (e.g., queues, retries, sagas).
- 🧑🤝🧑 Collaboration tech (FE): Experience with collaborative or real-time applications.
- 🧵 Frontend platform patterns (FE): Experience with plugin systems, micro-frontends, or web workers.
- ☁️ Multi-deployment awareness: Exposure to both cloud and self-hosted environments.
- 🔭 Observability mindset: You care about operability (instrumentation, debugging, rollout safety).
