About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

As a Senior Cloud Infrastructure & Networking Engineer your main goal will be to strengthen the cloud infrastructure and networking foundations that power n8n Cloud as we scale across Azure regions, reduce single-person ownership risk, and prepare for future multi-cloud expansion.
You’ll work hands-on across platform engineering, networking, reliability, and architecture to help n8n Cloud scale securely, reliably, and sustainably:
BUILD & OPERATE CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE
Design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure using Kubernetes, Terraform, and modern deployment tooling.
Support regional rollouts and platform improvements as n8n Cloud scales from hundreds of thousands toward millions of users.
Improve existing infrastructure pain points through pragmatic, hands-on engineering rather than simply maintaining the status quo.
STRENGTHEN NETWORKING FOUNDATIONS
Apply deep production networking expertise to multi-region topology, ingress and egress, peering, routing, DNS, TLS, and connectivity patterns.
Help shape secure, scalable network architecture as we expand across Azure regions and evaluate additional cloud providers.
IMPROVE RELIABILITY, SECURITY & OBSERVABILITY
Contribute to on-call, incident response, performance tuning, and critical bug fixes across network and platform systems.
Improve monitoring, alerting, and observability so the team can diagnose issues faster and reduce operational toil.
DRIVE CROSS-FUNCTIONAL PLATFORM STRATEGY
Partner closely with Cloud engineers, Product teams, Security, Support, Customer Success, Sales, and cloud provider teams on infrastructure initiatives.
