As a Staff LLM Interaction Engineer at n8n, you will shape the end-to-end AI Workflow Builder, enabling both technical and non-technical users to build reliable, AI-powered automated workflows. You'll design systems that ensure consistent LLM output, grounded context, and rapid iteration through evaluation and feedback loops, working within a remote-first, globally distributed team.
What You'll Do
- Architect and implement AI-assisted workflow building capabilities (workflow creation, editing, and suggestions)
- Design systems that provide LLMs with the right context: workflow state, user intent, constraints, and history
- Build tool-driven agent behaviour: calling internal tools, validating outputs, correcting mistakes, and recovering gracefully
- Develop evaluation benchmarks and automated testing for AI output quality
- Create fast iteration loops: experiment, measure, improve - shipping changes quickly with confidence
- Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and design to deliver a polished Copilot experience
- Stay current with advances in LLMs and AI developer tools and bring practical improvements into the product
What We're Looking For
- 7+ years of experience building web-based products, ideally SaaS developer tooling products
- Strong fullstack engineering skills in TypeScript / Node.js and API design
- Hands-on experience building complex AI-powered product features in production
- Experience building a tool-using AI system or “agentic” workflow, such as: coding agents, AI copilots, or assistant systems; multi-step tool calling pipelines; structured generation with validation and recovery
- Strong understanding of how to make LLM outputs reliable: prompt design and iteration; context construction and optimization; managing constraints, failure modes, and edge cases
- Experience building or using evaluation frameworks for LLM-based systems: benchmarks, scoring, regression tests, offline vs online evaluation
- Solid understanding of what to evaluate
- A product mindset: you care deeply about user outcomes, not just model behaviour
- A bias for action: you iterate quickly, learn fast, and ship improvements continuously
Nice to Have
- Experience with developer tools that generate code or structured output (workflows, config, SQL, DSLs)
- Familiarity with agent orchestration patterns, state machines, or DAG-based systems
- Experience with AI reliability tooling: trace/debug pipelines, test harnesses, and observability for LLM systems
- Contributions to open-source AI tooling (evals, orchestration, prompt management)
- Experience with RAG systems and retrieval patterns (when helpful)
Technical Stack
- TypeScript
- Node.js
- API design
- LLM systems
- AI orchestration
- Evaluation frameworks
- Prompt engineering
- RAG systems
