We're hiring designers across the following teams:
Enterprise (two roles - Governance & Observability, and Licence & Billing): You've worked on technical B2B platforms. 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.
Adore - Adoption & Retention: You have exceptional product sense and can connect disparate elements into a coherent whole. You'll take something complex, with many moving parts, and make it make sense - shaping what the visual layer of n8n becomes next. Experience with data visualisation is welcome; deep technical expertise isn't required.
n8n Labs: As a Product Designer, you'll own discovery end-to-end, spotting the riskiest assumptions, running the research, and turning findings into decisions without waiting on a brief. You move fast, cut scope without losing what matters, and you're hands-on enough to build and ship your own prototypes, including using AI tools to get there quicker. You've got product and business judgment, not just craft; you can spot an opportunity and make the case for it. Founder or co-founder experience is a helpful signal but not a requirement. 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.
Work effectively on complex features and understand the underlying technology.
Take ownership of complex, multi-faceted problems and drive them to completion with initiative and autonomy.
Research, feedback, and UX quality
Own the direction of research for your team, decide when it's needed, choose the right methodology, and take the initiative without waiting to be told.
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
Design in systems, integrating solutions into the broader n8n platform and safeguarding the product's big picture.
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.
Senior or Staff?
We're open at both levels, and we'll calibrate with you during the process. At Senior, you own your squad's design end-to-end and ship work that raises the bar for your area. At Staff, you do that, and your influence reaches beyond your own squad - you shape patterns other designers build on, and you take on the problems that span teams. Both are hands-on: this is not a step away from the craft.
REQUIREMENTS
Must-haves Product design excellence: You're proficient across product design, UX, UI, and qualitative research, delivering polished, detail-oriented work.
Technical mindset: You collaborate effectively with engineers and understand how software is built, including common web technologies. You don't need to write code, but you do need genuine curiosity about what's happening underneath - APIs, webhooks, data structures and how workflows actually execute.
Ownership & delivery: You've shipped end-to-end features in smaller teams or startups and can drive complex problems to measurable outcomes.
Fast, focused execution: You operate at high speed in an MVP-driven environment, balancing quality and velocity amid ambiguity.
Outcome orientation: You use research and metrics to inform decisions and consistently deliver solutions that enable team KPIs.
Feedback & collaboration: You're open and non-defensive in critique and provide actionable feedback that raises the team's bar.
Curiosity for AI: You're enthusiastic about AI and innovation, actively exploring new tools and approaches to advance the craft.
Experience level: You have 5+ years in product design with demonstrable impact on shipped products.
Nice-to-haves Front-end fluency: You can prototype using HTML/CSS/JavaScript, with or without AI coding tools, and can collaborate effectively with engineers on the result.
AI & automation domain: You've designed AI or automation products; familiarity with n8n is a plus.
Process improvement: You proactively refine team rituals and workflows to increase effectiveness.
Continuous growth: You invest in your craft and are motivated by creating tangible product and company impact.
Discovery frameworks: You know methodologies like Continuous Discovery or Shape Up.
Data-informed design: You're comfortable with metrics, A/B testing, or SQL to guide decisions.
Entrepreneurial drive: You've built startups or side projects that show initiative and creative problem-solving.
