Description
Platform engineering role at n8n (an open-source workflow automation vendor) focused on keeping the company operating as an AI-native engineering organization where autonomous agents are embedded across the development cycle. The engineer builds and evolves the platform foundations, tools, guardrails and processes that make agentic development safe, measurable and sustainable, including isolated execution environments and agent-ready monorepo tooling. The role integrates agents into engineering workflows across Linear, GitHub, CI and test infrastructure, and defines benchmarks and adoption metrics to measure agent output quality, safety and adoption. This is a first-of-a-kind, remote-first role working with Developer Platform, Security, AI/Agents, Architecture and product engineering teams.
Requirements
- Experience with autonomous coding agents, AI coding platforms, agent orchestration systems or internal AI developer tooling
- Practical experience building, deploying or operating AI-assisted or agentic software development workflows
- Strong software engineering background, ideally in platform engineering, developer experience, infrastructure, tooling, CI/CD or engineering productivity
- Comfortable leading a first-of-a-kind technical initiative from problem definition through pilot, adoption, measurement and iteration
- Deep understanding of GitHub, CI, testing strategies, code review, monorepos, issue tracking, developer environments and release risk
- Strong judgment around permissions, secrets, sandboxing, sensitive code paths and human-in-the-loop review
- Ability to design benchmarks, quality signals, failure-mode tracking and adoption metrics
- Clear written communication (repo instructions, playbooks, PR evidence templates, technical proposals)
- Cross-functional influence with senior engineers across Platform, Product Engineering, AI, Security and Architecture
