We at n8n are building the most powerful, flexible, and open workflow automation platform for technical people out there. In order to succeed with this we need an experienced Lead Cloud Infrastructure Engineer focused on our Cloud Infrastructure (currently on Azure AKS) to make sure our n8n Cloud users have a delightful experience.

We launched n8n at the end of 2019 as a Source Code Available (practically Open Source) product and things have grown exponentially since then.

📈 10k people try us out for the first time each month

⭐️ With 30k stars, we are in the Top 500 of the 238M projects on GitHub

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 We have a passionate and engaged community of 46k people

🌱 We were Sequoia's first seed investment in Germany, and raised $12m Series A round in 2021, led by Felicis Ventures

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to take a big piece of ownership and have a substantial impact in a fast-growing tech startup.

As a Lead Cloud Infrastructure Engineer at n8n, you will:

• take ownership in shaping the future architecture of the n8n Cloud Platform
• drive improvements to developing, monitoring, maintaining, and improving n8n Cloud and related IT infrastructure
• build and operate Continuous Integration, Delivery (CI/CD) and testing automation
• get to deploy and use some of the finest open-source tools and technologies
• work autonomously but in close partnership with our cloud & web engineers
• exchange your knowledge with other developers in the team
• work in a small and dedicated team of experienced peers with a can-do attitude, in a psychologically safe environment

This is a hands-on expert role without managerial responsibilities.

• You have a deep understanding of software engineering best practices
• Fluent in at least one of the major web programming languages
• A curious, collaborative mindset and the intrinsic drive to explore new technologies and practices
• Automation is your first instinct and comes naturally to you

Kubernetes, Azure AKS, Terraform, Prometheus, Rook Ceph, TypeScript, Vue.js, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Docker, with a hint of Python.

Google Workspace, Slack, Linear, GitHub, and of course n8n! Mac, Windows or Linux depending on your preference.

Benefits

• Career opportunities. We are looking to hire 'rising stars', who can grow with the company into more senior roles. We give you 1000€ a year to spend on courses, books, events and coaching, to support you in developing your career
• 30 vacation days
• Competitive salary and equity package
• Transparency. We all know what everyone’s working on, how the company is doing — the whole shebang
