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.\nSince our founding in 2019, we’ve grown into a diverse team of over 260 - 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:\nCultivated a community of more than 650,000 active developers and builders\n\nEarned 190K+ GitHub stars, making us one of the world’s Top 40 most popular projects\n\nBacked by top investors, from Sequoia’s first German seed to our SAP's recent strategic investment - bringing us to a $5.2bn valuation\n\nThat’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.\nWe’re in a defining moment of an incredible journey. Come and build with us.\nYour main goal will be to build and operate n8n’s shared context infrastructure - our “company brain” - so both people and AI agents can reliably access accurate, well-structured, and appropriately governed knowledge across the company.\nTo make that happen, you’ll shape how our knowledge is structured, contributed, accessed, and maintained as we build the context layer powering n8n’s agentic future:\nDESIGN OUR INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE\nDefine the taxonomy, structure, contributor guidelines, and templates that turn fragmented company knowledge into reliable, reusable context.\n\nEstablish standards that make knowledge easy to navigate, maintain, and use without creating duplication or another layer of content sprawl.\n\nEvolve these standards as our functions, knowledge sources, and agentic use cases grow.\n\nONBOARD & ENABLE TEAMS\nOnboard functions to the company brain and train designated champions to structure and maintain their own knowledge over time.\n\nGive non-technical contributors the guidance, templates, and support they need to contribute high-quality context independently.\n\nPartner with the Internal AI Enablement Lead to develop a shared network of champions who help scale strong knowledge practices across n8n.\n\nOPERATE OUR CONTEXT PLATFORM\nConfigure and operate ingestion from qualitative sources such as Slack, Gong, Drive, and Notion using our context platform’s tooling.\n\nOwn day-to-day platform configuration and basic troubleshooting, escalating genuine engineering challenges to our Automation team or vendor when needed.\n\nPartner with IT, Security, and Legal to define requirements for how people and AI agents access sensitive company knowledge.\n\nBUILD FOR LONG-TERM TRUST & REUSE\nKeep content structures, contributor guidelines, and knowledge freshness current as n8n and the platform evolve.\n\nWork with functions to ensure the company brain becomes a trusted source of context rather than another parallel knowledge repository.\n\nProvide product feedback to our context platform vendor and anticipate shared context patterns and capabilities that future agents will need.\n\nREQUIREMENTS\nMust-haves\nInformation architecture: You have proven experience designing structured content or knowledge programs at scale, including taxonomies, style guides, contributor guidelines, templates, or information architecture.\n\nKnowledge systems experience: You’ve worked hands-on with knowledge or context systems and understand what it takes to turn fragmented qualitative information into something others can reliably use.\n\nSaaS platform fluency: You’re comfortable configuring and operating SaaS knowledge or context platforms, working with APIs and integrations, and independently troubleshooting basic issues.\n\nStakeholder enablement: You have a track record of training non-technical stakeholders and enabling them to confidently maintain high-quality content themselves over the long term.\n\nGovernance collaboration: You’re comfortable partnering with IT, Security, and Legal on access requirements and compliance-sensitive data flows without needing to own the underlying technical architecture.\n\nCommunication: You have strong written and verbal communication skills and can set a clear quality bar for how company knowledge is structured, documented, and shared.\n\nNice-to-haves\nContext platforms: You’re familiar with Qontext.ai or a comparable agent-context platform.\n\nMCP: You have experience with or a strong understanding of Model Context Protocol (MCP).\n\nKnowledge governance: You have a background in knowledge management, metadata, or data governance.\n\nWhy join us?\nAt n8n, you’ll have the opportunity to shape how an entire company’s knowledge becomes usable - not only by people, but by the AI agents increasingly working alongside them. You’ll build a capability we don’t have today and help establish the context layer that future agentic initiatives across n8n will depend on.\nYou’ll have real ownership over how company knowledge is structured, governed, and maintained, while working closely with teams across IT, Security, Legal, Data, and AI & Automation. You’ll also have the support of a strong technical team and vendor partner, so your focus can stay on creating a trusted, scalable knowledge system rather than building every piece of infrastructure from scratch.\nAs n8n grows, you’ll help turn fragmented knowledge into a shared company brain that teams can contribute to confidently and agents can depend on reliably.\nSound like a challenge you’re excited to take on?\nApply now - and help us build the context layer for the future of automation.\nn8n is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.\nWe can sponsor visas to Germany; for any other country, you need to have existing right to work.\nOur company language is English.\nYou care about diversity and inclusion?
