What You’ll Be Doing
Own technical relationships with OEM / Embed partners; Serve as the primary post-sales technical partner for embed and strategic OEM customers, supporting them across onboarding, architecture design, product integration, scaling, and upgrades.
Guide implementation and architecture decisions; Advise partners on best practices for embedding n8n into their products, including:
API integration patterns
backend hooks and event triggers
authentication and access management
workflow execution models
multi-tenant architecture considerations
system communication patterns between n8n and partner applications
Work directly with engineering teams; Collaborate directly with partner engineers to solve implementation challenges, debug integration issues, and ensure production-ready deployments. You will regularly engage in conversations around:
APIs and webhooks
JavaScript and TypeScript workflow development
Infrastructure and scaling decisions
Upgrade strategies and version management
System architecture tradeoffs
Advise on product integration strategy; Help partners determine how n8n should be exposed inside their product, including:
Embedding approaches
User experience considerations
Automation capabilities exposed to end users
Security and governance implications
Support long-term platform evolution; Guide partners through upgrades, version changes, and architectural evolution, ensuring the embedded n8n platform remains reliable as their product scales.
Navigate licensing and commercial models; Act as a trusted advisor on OEM licensing structures, helping partners understand how their product growth and usage patterns interact with n8n licensing. You will help identify when:
A contract migration may better align with the partner’s product strategy
Usage models should evolve as adoption grows
Pricing structures could unlock new product capabilities
Communicate business value and ROI. Translate technical implementations into clear business outcomes, helping partners quantify:
Operational efficiency gained through automation
Product value created through embedded workflows
Revenue or differentiation driven by n8n capabilities
Run a structured partner operating cadence. Maintain strong engagement through architecture reviews, technical health checks, roadmap syncs, and executive business reviews, ensuring alignment between partner goals and n8n capabilities.
Represent partner needs internally. Provide structured feedback to Product and Engineering based on real-world embed use cases, helping shape the roadmap for OEM capabilities.
REQUIREMENTS
💻Strong technical foundation. You are comfortable working directly with engineers and understand modern software architecture. You have experience with:
APIs and integration patterns
backend systems and event-driven architectures
webhooks and system communication patterns
JavaScript and TypeScript
debugging integration issues across multiple systems
💼Experience with embedded platforms or developer tools. You’ve supported products where one platform is embedded inside another application, or worked with developer platforms, APIs, or integration tooling.
🚀Architecture and implementation expertise. You can help partners make informed decisions around:
how two systems communicate
multi-tenant architecture
upgrade strategies
