Engineering Manager | Remote | Europe

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 220 - 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 145k+ GitHub stars, making us one of the world’s Top 40 most popular projects
• Been ranked as one of Europe’s most promising privately held SaaS startups (4th in Sifted’s 2025 B2B SaaS Rising 100)
• Raised $240m to date, from Sequoia’s first German seed to our recent $180m Series C - bringing us to a $2.5bn 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.

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

Your main goal will be to build and lead an engineering team that thrives in a fast-moving AI-native world - developing engineers, creating clarity, and delivering meaningful outcomes with strong technical judgment. This is a first-line engineering leadership role for someone who is deeply technical, but whose real strength is building teams: empowering engineers on their growth path, aligning stakeholders, and helping people move with confidence as technology, customer needs, and opportunities evolve quickly around them.

We’re hiring Engineering Managers across multiple product and platform areas, and during the interview process you’ll be matched to a team based on your strengths and what you’re most excited to work on. Learn more about the teams and their focus areas here:

Build an empowered, high-performing team

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of engineers, helping them grow in ownership, performance, and long-term career development.
• Create a high-trust environment where people can learn in action, make decisions with confidence, and do their best work together.
• Support hiring, onboarding, and team shaping as we continue scaling engineering at n8n.

Create clarity and confidence as the landscape evolves

• Help your team stay focused and effective as priorities evolve, new opportunities emerge, and AI continues to reshape how products are built.
• Communicate clearly and credibly through change, giving engineers the context and direction they need to move forward with confidence.
• Turn complexity into momentum by helping your team focus on what matters most without getting slowed down by unnecessary uncertainty or process.

Drive execution with speed, judgment, and alignment

• Partner closely with Product, Design, and other stakeholders to align on priorities, trade-offs, and what success looks like.
• Bring the right level of structure to your team, using process where it helps and keeping things lightweight where it doesn’t.
• Keep the team accountable to meaningful outcomes while balancing speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.

Lead with technical credibility

• Bring enough technical depth to mentor engineers, challenge decisions thoughtfully, and maintain a high bar for engineering quality.
• Support architectural and delivery decisions across your area, helping the team make sound trade-offs around scalability, reliability, and speed.
• Step into technical details or code when needed to unblock or support the team, while keeping your primary focus on people leadership and team effectiveness.

REQUIREMENTS

Must-haves

• First-line engineering management experience: You’ve been a first-line Engineering Manager for at least 2 years and have experience directly leading engineers in a growing product organization. You’ve led teams that shipped meaningful product or platform outcomes, and you know how to balance execution, quality, and team health.
