About the role

Senior Product Manager responsible for the Core Platform strategy, scalability, reliability, and cross-org alignment at n8n. Owns the Foundations that power the platform, including execution engine scalability, security, and enterprise deployments, to support growth and AI capabilities.

Responsibilities

  • OWN THE CORE PLATFORM STRATEGY & ROADMAP: 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.
  • SCALABILITY, RELIABILITY & EXECUTION ENGINE: 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. Shape a more secure and flexible approach to executing code within n8n.
  • MAJOR RELEASES & CROSS-ORG ALIGNMENT: Drive the planning and release of major or breaking platform versions, including migration strategy, stakeholder communication, and risk management. Establish clear success measures and keep the squad accountable for outcomes, not only delivery. 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. Treat internal product teams as customers of the platform: proactively mine their roadmaps for implicit platform requirements and turn cross-cutting needs into explicit Core Platform work before they become blockers.

Qualifications

  • Platform product experience: 5+ years in Product, with at least 2 to 3 years on platform, infrastructure, developer-facing, or backend/API products.
  • Technical depth: credible with senior engineers; able to reason about distributed systems, execution models, and reliability/scalability trade-offs; comfortable with non-functional requirements.
  • Complex delivery track record: led cross-team technical initiatives with real delivery risk, ideally including a migration or breaking change.
  • Prioritization under ambiguity: explicit trade-offs linking foundational work to customer and commercial outcomes.
  • Ownership and autonomy: proactive problem-solver driving outcomes without waiting for direction.
  • Exceptional communication: able to make complex platform topics understandable to technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Enterprise platform reality: understands running software in customer-controlled environments, including self-hosted, air-gapped, and restricted deployments.
