n8n is seeking a Senior Product Engineer to own end-to-end TypeScript product features, shipping customer-impacting improvements quickly while balancing speed, quality, and high security standards. This role involves full-stack development across Vue/React and Node.js, close collaboration with product teams, and using data and metrics to drive decisions and iterations in a remote-first, open-source-focused environment.
What You'll Do
- Own a product area surface from discovery to delivery, including iteration after launch.
- Ship high-quality features fast across the TypeScript stack, balancing UX, performance, and maintainability.
- Partner closely with Product to translate customer problems into clear scopes and measurable outcomes.
- Build and evolve customer-facing experiences in Vue or React with strong attention to usability and polish.
- Develop scalable Node.js services and APIs that power critical workflows reliably under high traffic.
- Move fluidly between frontend and backend codebases to unblock the team and keep momentum high.
- Run A/B tests and experiments to validate hypotheses and improve activation, retention, or workflow success.
- Own metrics for your surface area, and use data to prioritize what to build, fix, or iterate next.
- Instrument features end-to-end so you can confidently measure impact and debug real-world behavior.
- Build and maintain integrations and APIs that enable automation use cases and extensible workflows.
- Ensure new capabilities meet high security standards and improve continuously as customer needs evolve.
- Contribute to system scalability and reliability so customers can trust n8n with business-critical processes.
What We're Looking For
- Fullstack JavaScript/TypeScript experience: You’ve shipped customer-facing features using TypeScript across frontend and backend, and you feel comfortable with the idea of working fullstack.
- Product-minded engineering: You talk about users and outcomes (e.g., shipped X feature, improved activation by Y%, owned a product surface) rather than only implementation details.
- Modern web stack fluency: You have hands-on experience with TypeScript, Node.js, and either Vue or React (ideally all three).
- Experimentation and metrics ownership: You’ve worked with A/B testing, experimentation, and instrumentation, and you’re used to owning success metrics for what you ship.
- Scalable systems experience: You’ve built or operated high-traffic, scalable SaaS systems and understand the trade-offs in performance, reliability, and developer velocity.
- Ownership in small-to-mid teams: You’re comfortable wearing multiple hats, navigating ambiguity, and adapting to fast-changing priorities while keeping quality high.
- Collaborative builder mindset: You share knowledge through code reviews, docs, and mentorship, and you thrive in a team that builds together.
Nice to Have
- Integrations and APIs: You’ve built on integrations, APIs, or automation platforms and enjoy making systems extensible.
- OSS and community involvement: You contribute to open-source, build side projects, or participate in dev communities.
- Security-minded product delivery: You’ve shipped features under high security expectations and enjoy building secure-by-default experiences.
