Responsibilities
- Identify high-impact opportunities for agentic development and set priorities across agent execution, repository readiness, CI, security, and developer workflows.
- Design and build isolated execution environments with appropriate access to code, tools, and context while protecting secrets and sensitive systems.
- Own the agent safety model, including permitted task categories, restricted systems, permissions, and human-review requirements.
- Make n8n’s monorepo agent-ready by improving structure, testability, boundaries, and agent context.
- Build workflows connecting Linear issues to agent execution, self-verification, review, and merged pull requests.
- Integrate agent workflows with GitHub, CI, testing infrastructure, and code review, and extend them across the broader development cycle.
- Define benchmarks and track quality, adoption, review, rework, developer satisfaction, and production-risk metrics.
- Set technical direction through proposals, decisions, working software, and alignment across multiple engineering teams.
Requirements
- Experience leading complex platform, developer-experience, or engineering-productivity initiatives across teams from problem definition through sustained adoption and measurable impact.
- Daily power-user experience with coding agents and experience building supporting infrastructure such as repository context, instructions, tool or MCP integrations, sandboxed execution, or agent workflows in CI.
- Product-minded approach to internal platforms, including prioritization by developer impact, build-versus-buy decisions, cost-value analysis, and adoption measurement.
- Experience setting technical direction across Platform, Product Engineering, AI, Security, or Architecture teams without relying on formal authority.
- Hands-on judgment concerning permissions, secrets, sandboxing, sensitive code paths, and human-in-the-loop review.
- Experience building evaluations, benchmarks, or quality metrics and using results to change course or retire ineffective systems.
- Strong technical writing and documentation skills that influence engineering decisions.
- Experience with large TypeScript, Node.js, or JavaScript monorepos is preferred.
- Experience with GitHub Actions, Linear, test infrastructure, preview environments, or internal developer platforms is preferred.
- Mentoring, team-shaping, open-source contribution, B2B SaaS, workflow automation, integration platforms, AI orchestration, or developer-facing product experience is preferred.
