n8n Automation Engineer (Client Facing Role)

Job Description

About AI Acquisition

AI Acquisition is a global AI consulting and enablement platform helping founders, agencies, and businesses design, launch, and scale AI-powered services. We operate a hybrid model combining Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), consulting, and execution—supporting clients across the US and globally.

Our work goes beyond tooling. We help clients design systems, implement automation, and operate scalable workflows across sales, marketing, operations, and delivery—using AI, APIs, and modern automation stacks.

Why Join AI Acquisition?

• Work hands-on with real client systems, not internal-only tooling
• Build production-grade n8n workflows used daily by founders and operators
• Be client-facing: influence outcomes, not just infrastructure
• Operate in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment
• Expand your skills across automation, APIs, AI, and solution design

This is not a back-office automation role. You will be building, explaining, troubleshooting, and evolving systems with clients live.

The Role

We’re looking for a technical n8n Automation Engineer who is equally comfortable building complex workflows and working directly with clients.

You will:

• Design and maintain n8n workflows
• Support clients through daily technical drop-in sessions
• Run client calls to understand requirements, debug issues, and guide implementation
• Act as a bridge between technical systems and non-technical founders

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on automation and human interaction.

You’ll report into Delivery / Client Operations and work closely with consultants and operators.

What You’ll Do

Workflow Engineering (Core Responsibility)

• Build, optimize, and maintain n8n workflows for automation across sales, operations, onboarding, and internal processes
• Debug, refactor, and scale workflows for reliability and performance
• Write and maintain JavaScript / Code nodes within n8n
• Ensure workflows are production-ready, documented, and reusable

Client-Facing Technical Enablement

• Run daily technical drop-in sessions with clients (live troubleshooting, guidance, and implementation support)
• Join client calls to:
• Understand automation needs
• Translate business logic into workflows
• Explain how systems work in clear, non-jargon language
• Provide calm, structured support to less-technical founders and operators

Systems & Integrations

• Integrate n8n with tools such as:
• CRMs, Airtable, Google Sheets
• APIs (internal and third-party)
• Webhooks, databases, and SaaS tools
• Design workflows that handle:
• Data ingestion
• Enrichment
• Syncing between platforms
• Trigger-based and scheduled automations

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

• Work closely with consultants, delivery leads, and operations teams
• Identify recurring client issues and convert them into scalable workflow solutions
• Improve documentation, templates, and standard workflows
• Proactively suggest improvements to systems and client experience

Requirements

Technical Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with n8n (required)
• Solid understanding of automation logic, APIs, and webhooks
• Ability to write and debug JavaScript within automation tools
• Experience building workflows that run reliably at scale
• Comfort working across multiple tools and systems

Client & Communication Skills

• Comfortable running client-facing calls
• Able to explain technical concepts in a clear, structured way
• Confident guiding clients through setup, troubleshooting, and best practices
• Calm, professional, and solutions-oriented when issues arise

Working Style

• High ownership and accountability
• Comfortable working independently in a fast-moving environment
• Organized, reliable, and proactive
• Enjoys problem-solving and continuous learning

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Experience with Airtable, CRMs, or data-heavy workflows
• Exposure to AI/LLM integrations
• Background in consulting, solutions engineering, or technical support
• Experience supporting founders or non-technical clients

Benefits

How to Apply

Please submit:

• Your CV
• Examples of n8n workflows you’ve built (screenshots, explanations, or demos are fine)
• Optional: GitHub, Loom walkthroughs, or documentation samples

We care less about buzzwords and more about how you think, build, and communicate.
