Worldwide
Automation Engineer (N8N, API Integration, Vibe Coding) About the Role We're looking for a sharp, systems-minded Automation Engineer who geeks out on connecting things that shouldn't be connected — and making it all work seamlessly. If you live in N8N, think in APIs, and feel a quiet satisfaction when a workflow runs flawlessly without anyone noticing, you might be exactly who we're looking for. This is a role for someone who takes pride in precision, works independently, and builds automations that actually hold up over time. What You'll Do 1. Design, build, and maintain automated workflows using N8N and API integrations 2. Translate business needs into clean, reliable automation logic 3. Debug, refine, and document your work so systems stay scalable 4. Collaborate with stakeholders to identify automation opportunities across operations, tools, and data pipelines 5. Apply vibe coding principles to prototype rapidly and iterate with intention What Makes You a Strong Fit 1. You're detail-oriented and hold yourself to high standards — sloppy code bothers you 2. You work well independently and don't need a lot of hand-holding to move forward 3. You're structured in how you approach problems — methodical, not scattered 4. You're curious and engaged — you actually care how the systems perform, not just that they shipped 5. You value doing it right, not just doing it fast What You Bring 1. Hands-on experience with N8N or similar workflow automation tools (Zapier, Make, etc.) 2. Strong understanding of REST APIs, webhooks, and data transformation 3. Comfortable with JSON, JavaScript, or lightweight scripting 4. Experience with vibe coding or AI-assisted development workflows is a plus 5. Strong documentation habits
