Staff Platform Engineer, Agentic Engineering
This is a senior individual contributor role that asks someone to turn early agent experiments into the standard way the engineering team builds software. A strong candidate has run coding agents daily, built the surrounding infrastructure other engineers depend on, and led platform or developer productivity work across teams without a ready playbook. The work spans strategy, hands on building, safety decisions and measuring what actually helps.
How it fits the AI era
The role sits at the center of how AI changes software work, since agents already handle much of the development cycle on one project and the task is to extend that safely. Judgment stays human: deciding which tasks agents may attempt, where review is required, and which experiments to retire. The person also shapes how quality and trust are measured rather than counting generated code.
How it builds AI experience
Someone in this role would gain deep practice in running coding agents inside real engineering workflows, building sandboxed execution, wiring agents into CI and review, and evaluating output against real historical tasks. That experience maps directly to n8n's own product, which lets teams build AI agents and automations visually with code where needed. Building a public workflow or contributing to open source projects would show relevant proof.
Worth showing
- Daily coding agent use
- Agent infrastructure built
- Safety and permissions calls
- Benchmarks and quality metrics
