Senior/Staff Product Designer

We're looking for seasoned Product Designers who thrive 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.

You'll be embedded in a product squad alongside a product manager and around three to five engineers, owning the user experience for your area end to end. Our design team is small but growing, so you'll shape the craft bar and the culture, not inherit them.

We're hiring across three teams: Enterprise (Governance & Observability, and Licence & Billing), Adore (Adoption & Retention), and n8n Labs. Team assignment is confirmed at the offer stage.

We're open to both Senior and Staff level, calibrated with you during the process. At Senior, you own your squad's design end-to-end. At Staff, your influence reaches beyond your own squad, shaping patterns other designers build on. Both are hands-on roles.

Must-haves

• Product design excellence: proficient across product design, UX, UI, and qualitative research, delivering polished, detail-oriented work
• Technical mindset: collaborate effectively with engineers, genuine curiosity about APIs, webhooks, data structures, and how workflows execute
• Ownership & delivery: shipped end-to-end features in smaller teams or startups, can drive complex problems to measurable outcomes
• Fast, focused execution: operate at high speed in an MVP-driven environment
• Outcome orientation: use research and metrics to inform decisions
• Feedback & collaboration: open and non-defensive in critique
• Curiosity for AI: actively exploring new tools and approaches
• 5+ years in product design with demonstrable impact on shipped products

Nice-to-haves

• Front-end fluency: can prototype using HTML/CSS/JavaScript
• AI & automation domain experience; familiarity with n8n is a plus
• Process improvement mindset
• Continuous growth / investment in craft
• Discovery frameworks (Continuous Discovery, Shape Up)
• Data-informed design: metrics, A/B testing, or SQL
• Entrepreneurial drive: built startups or side projects
