n8n is seeking to make n8n engineers dramatically faster by cutting local build times and feedback loops and elevating their build system & tooling across the TypeScript/Node.js pnpm monorepo.
Requirements
- Proven monorepo wins: You’ve sped up local dev loops in a TypeScript/Node.js/Vue monorepo using pnpm/yarn/npm
- Build system expertise: You understand incremental builds, project references, and pragmatic tooling choices
- Documentation chops: You can craft and maintain clear developer docs, PR templates, and contribution guides
- Change leadership: You’re comfortable driving adoption through RFCs, migration plans, and enablement sessions
- Task graph experience: Hands-on with Turborepo, Nx, or similar build system and remote caching strategies
- CI alignment: You have solid GitHub Actions hygiene and caching know-how to keep CI in sync with local flows
- Performance tuning: Skilled at Vite/esbuild/tsc optimization or Node profiling
Responsibilities
- Deliver fast, incremental builds and hot-reload across our pnpm monorepo
- Streamline local development setup and experiment docker dev images
- Build one-command bootstrap flows that work across macOS/Linux
- Evolve monorepo layout and packages to enforce clear boundaries
- Optimize Turborepo task dependency graphs and pilot remote caching when ROI is proven
- Ensure we have the best-in-class tools for formatting, linting and testing
- Keep GitHub Actions in sync with local flows, prune redundant jobs
