Community Engineering Team Lead

Lead and Develop the Community Engineering Team:

• Coach and support a team of 3 Community Engineers working across contributor support, reviews, bug fixing, and ecosystem quality.
• Bring clarity, focus, and accountability to a team with broad scope, varied work, and fast-changing priorities.
• Help shape the team as it grows, including hiring, onboarding, and defining what strong performance looks like in this function.

Improve Community Contribution Systems:

• Build and refine the processes, tooling, and feedback loops that help external contributors ship high-quality code, nodes, and improvements.
• Identify friction in contributor workflows and make it easier for developers to contribute successfully to n8n.
• Increase the team’s leverage through automation, documentation, and scalable ways of working.

Maintain Quality Across Community-Led Engineering Work:

• Oversee how community pull requests, node submissions, and bug fixes are reviewed and supported.
• Ensure community contributions meet our standards for quality, consistency, maintainability, and smooth integration into the product.
• Step in hands-on when needed to review code, unblock technical issues, or support complex contributor workflows.

Connect Contributors with the Product Organization:

• Partner closely with teams like Nodes to reduce the maintenance and support burden created by community contributions.
• Help contributors get timely, clear, and constructive feedback throughout the contribution process.
• Surface recurring contributor pain points and work with product and engineering teams to improve the developer experience.
