About the company
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. Along the way, we’ve:
- Cultivated a community of more than 650,000 active developers and builders
- Earned 190K+ GitHub stars, making us one of the world’s Top 40 most popular projects
- Backed by top investors, from Sequoia’s first German seed to our SAP's recent strategic investment - bringing us to a $5.2bn valuation
Responsibilities
- Make the core building experience exceptional: Identify and solve the highest-leverage problems across the workflow-building journey, making n8n easier to understand, faster to use, and more powerful as workflows grow in complexity.
- Turn technically complex capabilities into polished, intuitive product experiences through close collaboration with Design and Engineering.
- Continuously improve how users create, configure, debug, and evolve workflows, with a high bar for usability, performance, and reliability.
- Reduce friction from first workflow to production: Find opportunities to dramatically shorten the path from an idea to a working workflow, particularly around setup, configuration, connectivity, and access to external services.
- Shape experiences that make capabilities such as AI models, web search, integrations, and other services immediately useful while handling underlying complexity elegantly.
- Balance simplicity with transparency and control so streamlined experiences continue to work for advanced, business-critical, and production use cases.
- Shape the foundations of a powerful builder platform: Define product experiences and platform capabilities that make n8n flexible and extensible without exposing unnecessary complexity to users.
- Improve how builders interact with integrations, data, credentials, schemas, reusable capabilities, and emerging standards such as MCP.
- Partner with Engineering and developer-facing teams to ensure the product scales across an expanding ecosystem of services, use cases, and technical users.
- Drive product outcomes through discovery, data, and leadership: Engage deeply with customers, community members, and internal teams to understand real workflows, pain points, and opportunities across the builder experience.
- Define clear product bets, success metrics, and priorities, combining quantitative evidence with strong product judgment and fast learning loops.
- Lead cross-functional teams across Engineering, Design, Data, DevRel, Docs, PMM, Support, and Customer Success through clear decisions, strong communication, and ownership of outcomes.
Requirements
Must-haves:
- Proven product management experience: You’ve shipped impactful software products in fast-moving environments and can clearly explain the outcomes, decisions, and tradeoffs you owned.
- Builder mindset: You’re entrepreneurial and hands-on, and you enjoy moving from an ambiguous problem to a prototype, shipped product, and iteration quickly.
- Excellent product & UX judgment: You’re known for simplifying complexity and have a strong instinct for what makes technical products intuitive, polished, and enjoyable to use.
- Technical fluency: You’re comfortable reasoning about APIs, integrations, authentication, schemas, data flows, and system constraints and can partner deeply with engineers.
- Strong product discovery skills: You get close to users, uncover the underlying problem behind feature requests, validate assumptions, and turn insights into focused product decisions.
- Data fluency: You can define meaningful success metrics, investigate product behaviour and funnels, and combine quantitative evidence with qualitative insight and product intuition.
- AI-native product thinking: You actively use modern AI tools in your own work and understand the opportunities and product challenges created by AI-powered experiences.
Nice-to-haves:
- Developer product experience: You’ve built products for technical users and understand what great developer and builder experiences look like.
- Integrations experience: You’ve worked on products involving third-party APIs, authentication, developer platforms, or integration ecosystems.
- Community or open-source experience: You’ve built products alongside developer communities, contributors, or external ecosystems.
- AI product experience: You’ve worked with LLMs, agents, model providers, evaluations, or other AI platform capabilities and understand their unique product tradeoffs.
- Experimentation experience: You know how to use prototypes, experiments, and incremental releases to learn quickly without adding unnecessary process.
- Cloud/SaaS experience.
