The AI orchestration of your wildest imagination.

n8n is the open workflow orchestration platform built for the new era of AI. 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.

Since our founding in 2019, we’ve grown into a diverse team of over 160 – 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:

• Cultivated a community of more than 650,000 active developers and builders
• Earned 145k+ Git Hub stars, making us one of the world’s Top 40 most popular projects
• Been ranked as one of Europe’s most promising privately held SaaS startups (4th in Sifted’s 2025 B2B SaaS Rising 100)
• Raised $240m to date, from Sequoia’s first German seed to our recent $180m Series C – bringing us to a $2.5bn valuation
• And are grateful for our 94 eNPS score (most companies would call 70 excellent)

That’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.
