[Hiring] Senior AI Engineer @n8n

6d ago - n8n is hiring a remote Senior AI Engineer. 💸 Salary: unspecified 📍Location: Germany

Role Description

As a Senior AI Engineer, you'll drive intelligent features that redefine how users build automations. You'll build AI-powered capabilities, from natural language input to smart suggestions, that make creating workflows faster and more intuitive.

  • Collaborate across engineering, product, and design to bring generative AI and LLM-based enhancements into the core user experience.
  • Improve existing AI integrations, develop new ones, and shape how AI powers our product.
  • Work across the entire AI feature lifecycle:
    • Architect and implement AI-powered capabilities: code generation, intelligent node creation, and workflow optimization.
    • Integrate LLM APIs and embedding models for text-to-workflow and natural language code suggestions.
    • Design and iterate on prompts to improve model output and user experience.
    • Build internal tooling, evaluation benchmarks, and automated testing for AI components.
    • Collaborate closely with other engineers to ensure AI features are reliable, performant, and scalable.
    • Balance experimentation with impact: ship quickly while focusing on user value.
    • Stay current with advances in LLMs, prompt frameworks, and developer tools - and bring those insights into our roadmap.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience building web-based products, ideally in B2B SaaS startups.
  • Strong fullstack development skills with TypeScript, Node.js, and API design.
  • Experience shipping AI-powered features in production with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and understanding of how to translate machine intelligence into user value.
  • Experience building end-to-end systems.
  • Understanding of AI fundamentals: agent architectures, chat completion roles, embedding vectors, vector databases, and chunking strategies.
  • Hands-on experience with prompt engineering, embedding models, and vector stores.
  • A user-focused mindset: you care about delivering features that solve real problems.
  • A bias for shipping and learning - fast iteration is second nature to you.

Requirements

  • Bonus Points For:
    • Experience fine-tuning LLMs or working with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems.
    • Frontend experience using Vue or React.
    • Technical writing or documentation contributions, especially around developer tools or AI.
    • Experience with agent orchestration patterns and state management in multi-step AI systems.
    • Knowledge of code quality evaluation metrics and context optimization techniques.

  • Competitive compensation – We offer fair and attractive pay.
  • Ownership – Our core value is to “empower others,” and we mean it—you’ll get a slice of n8n with equity.
  • Work/life balance – We work hard but ensure you have time to recharge:

  • A passionate team – We love our product, and we prove it with regular hackathons where we see who can build the coolest thing with it!
  • Remote-first – Our team works remotely across Europe, with regular off-sites for team bonding. Some roles, like sales in the US, are hybrid—please check the job description.
