This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of software engineering and automation, contributing directly to the scalability and agility of our systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Experience creating reusable packages and internal SDKs in TypeScript.
• Contribute to internal tooling and developer experience improvements related to automation and workflow management.
• Build, extend, and maintain custom N8N nodes for internal services, third-party APIs, and business-specific logic.
• Design and configure N8N workflows to automate complex processes and data integrations.
• Write unit and integration tests for N8N nodes and backend services to ensure reliability and maintainability.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize N8N processes and backend systems in production environments.
• Support and document best practices for working with N8N in the organization.
• Collaborate with business and product stakeholders to gather requirements and translate them into scalable automation solutions.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience working with JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js, in either frontend or backend development roles, with a strong recent focus on backend systems.
• Strong understanding of Node.js runtime, async programming, and REST API integrations.
• Familiarity with authentication methods such as API keys, SAML, OAuth2, and JWT.
• Experience with database systems (e.g., PostgreSQL, MongoDB) and data transformation tasks.
• Comfort working in Git-based workflows and CI/CD environments.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Vue.js, React or similar modern JavaScript frontend frameworks.
• Proven experience developing and maintaining custom N8N nodes and building complex workflows.
• Knowledge of workflow orchestration concepts and tools beyond N8N (e.g., Node-RED, Zapier, Temporal, Camunda).
• Familiarity with containerization (e.g., Docker) Kubernetes and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure).
• Exposure to observability and logging tools to monitor automation flows and backend performance.
