Job Summary
In this role, you will develop n8n's frontend platform, shape the workflow builder architecture, work on modular systems, and optimize real-time collaboration using modern techniques.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- Your main goal will be to design and evolve the frontend platform foundations that power n8n's workflow-building experience, enabling product engineers and the open-source community to ship complex, reliable, and high-performance user experiences across cloud and self-hosted deployments.
- As part of the team, you'll take ownership of core frontend platform domains and help shape the architecture behind one of the most flexible automation products in the market.
- Own and evolve core frontend platform primitives that make n8n's workflow builder scalable, extensible, and maintainable.
- Strengthen platform contracts such as plugin systems, extension points, and frontend developer experience.
- Help modularize a large, evolving frontend codebase so product teams can build confidently on top of shared foundations.
- Work on the architecture behind n8n's canvas-based workflow building experience.
- Build and improve real-time collaboration capabilities using approaches such as WebSockets, CRDTs, or multiplayer synchronization patterns.
- Design frontend systems with correctness, accessibility, and user experience in mind, especially for complex interactive workflows.
- Improve rendering performance, runtime behavior, and responsiveness across complex workflow-building experiences.
- Use performance measurement, profiling, and optimization techniques to identify bottlenecks and improve user experience.
- Contribute to web worker orchestration and other frontend infrastructure that helps n8n scale to more complex use cases.
- Führen Sie technische Entscheidungen durch klare Vorschläge, RFCs und kollaborative Engineering-Diskussionen herbei.
- Partner closely with product engineers, QA, DX, Security, Staff Architects, and the open-source community to ensure platform changes integrate smoothly.
- Support peers through code reviews, pairing, mentoring, and knowledge sharing.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- You've built architecture-heavy frontend products such as canvas-based tools, real-time applications, collaborative editors, or similarly complex interfaces.
- You can measure, debug, and improve runtime performance in large frontend applications.
- You've owned meaningful frontend systems, led migrations, or re-architected complex areas of a product.
- You think in trade-offs, correctness, platform contracts, maintainability, and long-term scalability.
- You communicate clearly, work cross-functionally, and enjoy enabling other engineers rather than building in isolation.
- You're excited by refactoring, modularization, tech debt reduction, and improving existing systems over time.
- You've worked with plugin systems, extension architectures, micro-frontends, or web worker orchestration.
- You've contributed to or maintained open-source software and understand public API contracts and backward compatibility.
- You've worked on workflow engines, developer tools, infrastructure-adjacent SaaS, or other technical products.
- You've worked on systems with meaningful scale, complexity, or long-term maintainability challenges.
- You've built products that work across cloud, single-tenant, or self-hosted environments.
- You care about instrumentation, debugging, rollout safety, and making complex systems easier to operate.
Experience
- You have strong TypeScript frontend experience and are comfortable working in a large, evolving codebase.
- You have experience with CRDTs, multiplayer systems, collaborative editors, or real-time communication layers.
- You have experience with Vue or are excited to work deeply in a Vue-based frontend codebase.
