Senior Product Designer: AI & Workflow Platforms

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+ GitHub 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.

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

We’re looking for a seasoned Product Designer who thrives in ambiguity and challenging problem spaces.

n8n is a powerful, flexible technical tool, which means the problems you tackle as a designer are complex. Your design decisions must account for diverse user workflows, technical constraints, and how changes impact the entire platform. To thrive here, you will need to love talking to users, understanding technology, and reducing complexity and scope.

We’re currently hiring for different teams with specific focus on:

• Enterprise: You’ve worked on technical B2B platforms where workflows are the product. You’ve designed for scale, governance and collaboration across teams including permissions, environments, observability and failure modes included and you’re comfortable making deeply complex systems feel coherent and simple.

• AI: This team is perfect for designers who've worked on AI tools, agents, or builders and want to push the boundaries of AI-powered automation. You'll define the future of AI-powered workflows.

• Growth : We're seeking a designer who thrives on rapid iteration and experimentation. You have experience optimizing onboarding and activation flows, you're motivated by moving metrics, and you excel at testing, learning, and iterating quickly.

• Marketplace: This role is ideal for designers experienced with multi-sided platforms (like e-commerce or talent marketplaces) where you balance distinct needs of the supply and demand sides. You'll build something new from the ground up in a brand new team.

Our team structure evolves quickly and these team assignments may shift in the coming weeks.

Regardless of the team your main goal will be to lead end-to-end product design on complex workflows that elevate n8n’s user experience, ship measurable outcomes, and raise the quality bar across our platform. To do so, here are your responsibilities:

End-to-end product design

• Lead the full design process for your team, from discovery to polished delivery, collaborating closely with PMs and engineers.

• Consistently ship high-quality, visually cohesive designs that improve the overall UX at every release.

• Take ownership of complex, multi-faceted problems and drive them to completion with initiative and autonomy.

Research, feedback, and UX quality

• Champion the user by running interviews, usability tests, and research to inform critical product and business decisions.

• Master the feedback loop by gathering, synthesizing, and acting on input while giving actionable critique to elevate teammates’ work.

• Balance speed and quality in an MVP-driven environment, navigating ambiguity while maintaining a high bar.

Systems thinking and platform coherence

• Account for edge cases, constraints, and interaction details so users never end up in impossible states.

• Collaborate across teams and designers to ensure consistency and quality across shared patterns and components.

Strategy, impact, and innovation

• Shape team strategy by influencing planning, prioritization, and scope with a strong design perspective tied to KPIs.

• Explore and adopt AI and automation tools to push the boundaries of design practice and AI-powered workflows.
