Key Responsibilities

•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.
•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.
•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.
