Job Description
Senior Cloud Engineer
n8n
• Your main goal will be to design, build, and operate the cloud infrastructure and networking foundations powering n8n Cloud, enabling us to scale securely and reliably across regions and customers. • Design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure across Azure with a focus on reliability, scalability, and operational excellence. • Create infrastructure solutions from the ground up rather than simply operating existing tooling or templates. • Support the evolution of our platform architecture as n8n Cloud scales to millions of users. • Build and improve infrastructure patterns for multi-region deployments, high availability, and fault tolerance. • Use Kubernetes and managed Kubernetes services such as AKS to run and scale cloud-native workloads. • Identify and resolve infrastructure bottlenecks before they impact customers or internal teams. • Improve the security, resilience, and hardening of our cloud infrastructure and deployment practices. • Apply strong infrastructure architecture principles to build systems that are secure, maintainable, and scalable. • Contribute to networking-related platform decisions, including Kubernetes networking, tunneling, routing, and connectivity patterns. • Use Terraform and Infrastructure as Code practices to build repeatable, reliable, and well-governed infrastructure. • Collaborate with Cloud Platform engineers, product engineers, and other technical teams on cross-functional infrastructure initiatives. • Bring a hands-on, pragmatic approach to architectural decision-making, technical trade-offs, and platform evolution. • Contribute to on-call rotation, helping keep our systems healthy and performant. • Own and evolve KTLO (keep-the-lights-on) work: tackle reliability, performance bottlenecks, and critical bug fixes.
