Your main goal will be to support community-driven development at n8n by reviewing community PRs, vetting community nodes, and improving how external contributions become reliable product improvements.

• Review community PRs with clear, actionable feedback and help maintain a two-week review SLA.
• Guide contributors through the review process so they understand what is needed to move their PRs forward.
• Help improve and automate the process of managing community contributions as n8n's builder community continues to scale.
• Debug and fix bugs across the n8n codebase that impact contributors, nodes, or workflow behavior.
• Work with external APIs, SDKs, authentication flows, and node logic to identify root causes and ship reliable fixes.
• Vet community nodes to help ensure they meet n8n's quality, security, and usability expectations.
• Make targeted docs tweaks that help users and contributors understand how to build, test, and improve workflows.

• Understanding of how to build and test workflows, with basic node development as a strong plus.
• Comfort using CLI tools and package managers such as npm or pnpm.

• Low-ego, open to feedback, and motivated by helping others contribute successfully.
