Sr Cloud Engineer | Infrastructure & Networking | Europe remote

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 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:

• Cultivated a community of more than 650,000 active developers and builders
• Earned 190K+ GitHub stars, making us one of the world’s Top 40 most popular projects
• Backed by top investors, from Sequoia’s first German seed to our SAP's recent strategic investment - bringing us to a $5.2bn valuation

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 http://app.n8n.cloud/register.

We’re in a defining moment of an incredible journey. Come and build with us.

As a Senior Cloud Infrastructure & Networking Engineer your main goal will be to strengthen the cloud infrastructure and networking foundations that power n8n Cloud as we scale across Azure regions, reduce single-person ownership risk, and prepare for future multi-cloud expansion.

To do so, you’ll work hands-on across platform engineering, networking, reliability, and architecture to help n8n Cloud scale securely, reliably, and sustainably:

BUILD & OPERATE CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE

• Design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure using Kubernetes, Terraform, and modern deployment tooling.
• Support regional rollouts and platform improvements as n8n Cloud scales from hundreds of thousands toward millions of users.
• Improve existing infrastructure pain points through pragmatic, hands-on engineering rather than simply maintaining the status quo.

STRENGTHEN NETWORKING FOUNDATIONS

• Apply deep production networking expertise to multi-region topology, ingress and egress, peering, routing, DNS, TLS, and connectivity patterns.
• Improve Kubernetes networking patterns across CNI, ingress controllers and related cloud-native infrastructure layers.
• Help shape secure, scalable network architecture as we expand across Azure regions and evaluate additional cloud providers.

IMPROVE RELIABILITY, SECURITY & OBSERVABILITY

• Contribute to on-call, incident response, performance tuning, and critical bug fixes across network and platform systems.
• Improve monitoring, alerting, and observability so the team can diagnose issues faster and reduce operational toil.
• Strengthen our security posture through automation, segmentation, DDoS/WAF considerations, and zero-trust principles where relevant.

DRIVE CROSS-FUNCTIONAL PLATFORM STRATEGY

• Partner closely with Cloud engineers, Product teams, Security, Support, Customer Success, Sales, and cloud provider teams on infrastructure initiatives.
• Lead significant infrastructure projects independently, such as new region rollouts, platform components, or cross-team technical initiatives.
• Bring senior technical judgement to architecture decisions, trade-offs, and the evolution of our multi-region and multi-cloud platform strategy.

REQUIREMENTS

MUST-HAVES

• Cloud infrastructure experience: You have hands-on experience managing and deploying infrastructure on Azure, or alternatively GCP or AWS.
• Infrastructure design: You have designed and scaled cloud-native infrastructure for complex platforms used by many users.
• Production networking expertise: You have strong experience with VNets/VPCs, peering, routing, network topologies, DNS, load balancing, TLS, ingress/egress, and service mesh at meaningful scale.
• Kubernetes: You have strong production experience with Kubernetes, including Kubernetes networking concepts such as CNI, ingress controllers, and service mesh.
• Infrastructure as Code: You’re confident using Terraform and IaC practices to build scalable, repeatable, and reliable cloud infrastructure.
• Security-first mindset: You know how to build secure, resilient systems using cloud, distributed systems, and infrastructure best practices.
• CI/CD and build systems: You have a strong grasp of CI/CD pipelines, build processes, and deployment workflows.
• Observability and performance: You have experience with monitoring, alerting, observability, and performance tuning in production environments.
• Growth mindset: You’re curious, resourceful, and comfortable saying “I don’t know yet, but I’ll find out.”
