You’ll be responsible for building, maintaining, and monitoring automation workflows that power real business operations (not toy projects). This is a hands-on, execution-heavy role where your work directly impacts speed, reliability, and scale. This is a full-time role (India-based, remote).
What You'll be doing
- Build and maintain complex workflows in n8n
- Integrate APIs, webhooks, CRMs, and third-party tools
- Debug broken automations across multiple systems
- Handle real-time data flows and edge cases
- Monitor workflows and proactively fix issues
- Improve system reliability and reduce downtime
Must Have
- Hands-on experience with n8n in production (non-negotiable)
- Strong debugging skills (you enjoy fixing broken systems)
- Experience working with: Webhooks, APIs (REST), JSON data structures
- Ability to handle multi-step workflows with conditions, loops, and logic
Strong Bonus
- JavaScript inside n8n (Function nodes)
- Experience with Make.com (Integromat)
- Experience handling: API rate limits, Error handling & retries, OAuth / authentication flows, Supabase
Role Details
- Engagement: Full-time
- Location: Remote (India)
- Compensation: ₹80,000 – ₹1,00,000/month (based on experience)
- Availability: Full-time commitment required
Why Join Us
- Work on real systems impacting real revenue
- Be part of a fast-scaling international agency
- Opportunity to build core infrastructure from scratch
- High ownership, zero micromanagement
Do NOT apply if
- You’ve only built basic Zapier automations
- You don’t have real production experience
- You struggle with APIs or debugging
- You need step-by-step instructions for everything
Who This Is Perfect For
- You’ve built automations that actually run in production
- You hate “silent failures” and broken workflows
- You think in systems, not just code
- You like solving messy, real-world problems (not just clean dev tasks)
Apply If
- You’ve built workflows that actually broke — and you fixed them
- You understand how systems fail, not just how they work
- You can think independently and own automation systems
Apply with examples of workflows you’ve built or systems you’ve debugged. Bonus points if you’ve worked with complex, multi-tool automation stacks.
