Staff Platform Engineer, Agentic Engineering Developer Productivity · AI Coding Agents · Developer Platform Our ambition: an engineering organisation where humans and agents work as one continuously learning system, turning frontier AI capabilities and real-world feedback into more ambitious product development. We want n8n to be the reference for how this is done, without compromising quality, resilience or trust. Your main goal is to make that real. This is a Staff individual contributor role in Developer Platform and the technical driving force behind ACDC (Agent-centric Development Cycle), our engineering-wide initiative for agentic development. Nobody has a playbook for this yet. You'll write ours. You won't start from zero. Agents wired into Linear already automate around 80% of the development cycle on one of our developer platform projects, alongside pilots for insight, feature-flag and PR-review agents and a shared agent harness. Your job is to take this from promising experiments to the way n8n builds software. This role is for someone who thinks about this problem constantly. You run agents all day, rebuild your own workflow every time the frontier moves, and have more ideas than time. You'll stay hands-on, building the first versions yourself, and shape how the work grows beyond one person. What you'll do Set direction and own the outcome Identify where agentic development can make the greatest difference, using developer feedback, existing experiments and engineering performance data. Set the strategy and priorities across agent execution, repository readiness, CI, security and developer workflows. Make build, buy or pass decisions on tools and vendors, and own the cost and value trade-offs, including
