Senior Software Engineer - DevX

Overview

Senior Software Engineer - DevX at n8n. n8n is a workflow automation platform that combines AI capabilities with business process automation. We provide technical teams with the flexibility of code and the speed of no-code, backed by a community of builders. With 500+ integrations and fair-code principles, we’re transforming how businesses connect their systems and processes.

Your main goal will be to help n8n engineers become dramatically faster by reducing local build times and feedback loops, and by elevating our build system and tooling across the TypeScript / Node.js pnpm monorepo. You will lead internal engineering productivity, set paved paths, and mentor others so wins stick.

Responsibilities

• Deliver fast, incremental builds and hot-reload across our pnpm monorepo
• Streamline local development setup and experiment with docker dev images
• Build one-command bootstrap flows that work across macOS / Linux
• Evolve monorepo layout and packages to enforce clear boundaries
• Optimize Turborepo task dependency graphs and pilot remote caching when ROI is proven
• Ensure we have best-in-class tools for formatting, linting and testing
• Own and maintain our Developer Guide, CONTRIBUTING.md, PR templates, and onboarding checklists
• Create lightweight architecture diagrams and other documentation to guide decision-making
• Run brown-bag sessions, office hours, and pairing to drive adoption
• Keep GitHub Actions in sync with local flows and prune redundant jobs
• Fix caching and artifact strategies to reduce unnecessary runs
• Ensure time-to-first-green stays low without exploding CI minutes
• Lead and rally engineers for migration projects and tooling rollouts
• Publish clear RFCs and gather feedback before shipping major changes
• Partner closely with Engineering Managers to sequence and prioritize work
