Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Automation Engineer to design, develop, and maintain a custom n8n connector (node) that integrates with internal APIs to power robust automation workflows. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer with strong JavaScript/Type Script, Node.js, and API integration experience who enjoys building reliable, production-grade automation tools.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure the connector is performant, secure, user-friendly, and well-documented, supporting critical business workflows in a compliance-focused environment.

Build and maintain RESTful API integrations, including authentication, pagination, rate limiting, retries, and error handling.
Write clean, modular, and maintainable code with strong attention to performance and reliability.
Create unit and integration tests using modern testing frameworks (e.g., Playwright).
Optimize API interactions using JSON manipulation, schema validation, batch operations, caching, and exponential backoff strategies.
Develop clear, comprehensive documentation for connector usage, including parameters, examples, and sample workflows.
Collaborate with product, engineering, and UX stakeholders to ensure intuitive connector design (e.g., conditional fields, clear parameter labels).
Follow best practices for secure credential management, input validation, and dependency audits.
Optionally implement webhook support and observability features such as logging and metrics.
Adhere to internal information security, confidentiality, and data privacy policies at all times.

Required Qualifications

3+ years of professional experience with JavaScript and Type Script.
2+ years of hands-on experience with Node.js (v18+ preferred).
Proven experience integrating and consuming RESTful APIs.
Familiarity with workflow automation platforms such as n8n, Zapier, or Make.
Strong understanding of asynchronous programming and modern JavaScript patterns.
Experience using Git for version control and npm/yarn for package management.
Comfortable writing and maintaining automated tests and debugging API interactions.
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Experience
Prior experience building or extending custom n8n nodes.
Familiarity with n8n’s internal structure (execute methods, credentials, data linking).
Experience implementing webhooks for real-time integrations.
