Senior Product Manager - Core Platform

Your main goal will be to make n8n's Core Platform ready for the company's next stage of growth: more scalable, reliable, secure, and flexible as customer usage and technical complexity increase. You'll own the foundations that everything else, including our AI and agent capabilities, is built on.

What you'll do

• Define and communicate the product strategy and roadmap for the Core Platform in partnership with Engineering and Product leadership.
• Prioritize foundational investments based on customer impact, enterprise needs, technical risk, and engineering effort, and make trade-offs between near-term customer needs, technical debt, and long-term architecture explicit.
• Lead product discovery for technically complex problems, engaging directly with enterprise customers and internal customer-facing teams.
• Drive work on the scalability and reliability of n8n's execution engine, including areas like worker pools and distributed execution.
• Improve the reliability of triggers and execution behaviour across complex deployment setups, from multi-main Cloud environments to self-hosted enterprise installations.
• Drive the planning and release of major or breaking platform versions, including migration strategy, stakeholder communication, and risk management.
• Act as the bridge between the Core team and the wider org: Product, Sales, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, and Support, making platform trade-offs legible without oversimplifying them.

What you'll need

• 5+ years in Product, with at least 2 to 3 years on platform, infrastructure, developer-facing, or backend/API products.
• You're credible with senior engineers. You can reason about distributed systems, execution models, and reliability/scalability trade-offs, and hold your own in an architecture discussion.
• You've led cross-team technical initiatives with real delivery risk, ideally including a migration or breaking change.
• You make trade-offs explicit and connect foundational or technical-debt work to customer and commercial outcomes.
• You grab problems without being asked, fix what you see broken, and drive outcomes without waiting for direction.
• You make complex platform topics understandable for technical and non-technical audiences alike.
• You understand what running software in customer-controlled environments means, including self-hosted, air-gapped, and restricted deployments.

Nice to have

• You can read code or prototype, even if you're not shipping it.
• You've worked with B2B SaaS requirements like security, compliance, or deployment complexity.
• You're comfortable working with security teams on code execution, isolation, or compliance topics.
• You know workflow automation, orchestration, or open-source / developer-community products.

What they offer

• Competitive compensation and equity ownership.
• 30 days of vacation (Europe) or 20 vacation days plus 8 sick days (US), plus public holidays.
• Health and wellness benefits according to local country norms (Europe) or multiple low-premium medical, dental, and vision plans (US).
• Pension contributions (Europe) or 401(k) with 4% employer match (US).
• Company-paid disability and life insurance (US) or local benefits (Europe).
• 1K per year for courses, books, events, or coaching to level up your skills.
