Description

n8n, the open workflow orchestration platform for AI, is hiring its founding Forward Deployed Engineer for EMEA. You embed on site with strategic enterprise customers for focused five-day deployment engagements, arriving with a hypothesis and leaving production workflows behind. The work covers designing and building workflows, integrations and custom nodes tailored to each customer environment, and extending existing n8n nodes where functionality is missing. You also close the loop with Product and Engineering, documenting technical gaps and turning one-off customer requirements into reusable nodes, playbooks and product features. The role is remote within EMEA and involves roughly 50-60% travel, mostly across Europe.

Requirements

  • Solid full-stack or backend engineering experience, having built integrations, APIs or automation pipelines in production
  • Ability to create custom nodes and extend existing integrations, working confidently with APIs, authentication patterns, data models and event-driven systems
  • Product-minded technical judgement to tell a one-off workaround from a reusable improvement or a product feature
  • Confidence working directly in customer environments with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
  • Solution design skills to turn a messy operational problem into a clean, practical technical design
  • Willingness to travel roughly 50-60% of the time for on-site engagements, primarily across Europe
  • Ability to get productive quickly in new industries, tech stacks and customer environments
