Community Software Engineer | Remote | Europe

About the role

The AI orchestration of your wildest imagination.

n8n is the open workflow orchestration platform built for the new era of AI. We give technical teams the freedom of code with the speed of no-code, so they can automate faster, smarter, and without limits. Backed by a fiercely inventive community and 500+ builder-approved integrations, we’re changing the way people bring systems together and scale ideas for impact.

Since our founding in 2019, we’ve grown into a diverse team of over 260 - working across Europe and the US, connected by a shared builder spirit and with our centre of gravity in Berlin. Along the way, we’ve:

• Cultivated a community of more than 650,000 active developers and builders

• Earned 190K+ GitHub stars, making us one of the world’s Top 40 most popular projects

• Backed by top investors, from Sequoia’s first German seed to our SAP's recent strategic investment - bringing us to a $5.2bn valuation

That’s the company we’ve built. Now we’d love to see what you can build. If you’re applying, try n8n out - whether you’re technical or not - and share a screenshot of your first workflow with us. The easiest place to start is here: app.n8n.cloud/register http://app.n8n.cloud/register.

We’re in a defining moment of an incredible journey. Come and build with us.

Your main goal will be to support community-driven development at n8n by reviewing community PRs, vetting community nodes, and improving how external contributions become reliable product improvements.

To do so, you’ll work within Community Engineering and the wider team to keep community contribution flows moving smoothly and help automate how we manage them:

COMMUNITY NODE VERIFICATION AND TOOLING

• Review submitted community nodes: code quality, security patterns, credential handling, UX conventions, and demo videos.

• Operate and improve the review pipeline, from automated checks through to human verification, approval, and production release.

• Build tooling and automation that supports the review process: Linear workflows, author communication flows, and release process.

• Identify patterns across submissions and feed them back into automated checks, the reviewer playbook, and contributor docs.

COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT

• Triage incoming community PRs : assess quality, route to the right team, or close with clear reasoning.

• Give timely, constructive first responses so contributors know what is needed and feel heard.

• Maintain the tooling that keeps this running: scoring, Linear state tracking, routing via CODEOWNERS, and stale PR automation.

• Fix recurring friction at the source rather than just flagging it.

BUG FIXES, DOCS, AND BRINGING COMMUNITY VOICE IN

• Debug and fix bugs affecting contributors, node behaviour, or workflow reliability.

• Make targeted doc improvements that reduce friction for contributors and builders.

• Surface patterns from PRs, node submissions, and contributor feedback to the internal engineering team, as this role has clearer ecosystem visibility than most.

REVIEW AND MANAGE COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS

• Review community PRs with clear, actionable feedback and help ensure contributors receive a timely first review.

• Guide contributors through the review process so they understand what is needed to move their PRs forward.

• Help improve and automate the process of managing community contributions as n8n’s builder community continues to scale.

IMPROVE QUALITY AND PRODUCT RELIABILITY

• Debug and fix bugs across the n8n codebase that impact contributors, nodes, or workflow behavior.

• Work with external APIs, SDKs, authentication flows, and node logic to identify root causes and ship reliable fixes.

SUPPORT COMMUNITY NODES, DOCS, AND NODE ENHANCEMENTS

• Vet community nodes to help ensure they meet n8n’s quality, security, and usability expectations.

• Make targeted docs tweaks that help users and contributors understand how to build, test, and improve workflows.

• Contribute to node enhancements and adjacent engineering tasks that make n8n easier to extend and maintain.

REQUIREMENTS

MUST-HAVE

• 🟦 JavaScript and TypeScript proficiency: You have strong hands-on experience building, debugging, and maintaining production-quality JavaScript or TypeScript code.

• 🔍 Debugging ability: You can investigate bugs in a codebase with external dependencies such as APIs, SDKs, and third-party services.

• 🔐 API and authentication knowledge: You understand REST APIs and common authentication methods such as OAuth and API keys.

• ⚙️ n8n or workflow automation familiarity: You understand how to build and test workflows, with basic node development as a strong plus.

• 💻 CLI and package manager comfort: You’re comfortable using CLI tools and package managers such as npm or pnpm.

• ✍️ Clear written communication: You can communicate clearly and constructively in async community settings such as PR comments, review threads, and contributor discussions.

• 🧭 Detail orientation: You’re consistent in following up on open threads, bugs, reviews, and edge cases until they are resolved.

• 🤝 Collaborative mindset: You’re low-ego, open to feedback, and motivated by helping others contribute successfully.

NICE-TO-HAVE

• 🌍 Open-source contribution experience: You’ve contributed to open-source projects, even through small fixes, documentation updates, or community PRs.

• 🧑‍💻 Community-facing technical experience: You’ve worked in a role where you supported developers, contributors, or technical community members directly.

• 🚀 Startup or developer tooling experience: You’ve worked in a Series A/B startup or developer tooling company and understand the pace and ambiguity of fast-growing teams.
