With 500+ integrations and fair-code principles, we're revolutionizing how businesses connect their systems and processes.

We were founded end of 2019 and currently:

• 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 We’re a diverse team of + 140 talented people

• 🚀 Our annual recurring revenue is growing over 9x year-over-year

• ⭐️ With +130k GitHub stars, we are in the top 50 most popular projects of all time on GitHub

• 🍾 We were the 25th fastest growing startup last year and 4th BtoB SaaS Rising 100 this year in Europe according to Sifted

• 🌱 We were Sequoia's first seed investment in Germany, and most recently secured our $60M Series B (February '25, led by Highland)

We are looking for a driven Account Executive with a strong entrepreneurial mindset to reinforce our team of 6 AEs (3 mid-market) selling our Enterprise plans [https://n8n.io/pricing/?selfHosted=true]. You will be reporting to Maria, Senior Sales Manager.

Why this role is exciting:

• Ownership: You’ll run the full sales cycle end-to-end (average 2–3 months), from discovery to negotiation and close. No hand-offs or silos, just clear ownership and impact.

• Momentum: We’re seeing a sharp rise in demand from mid-sized technical teams who want more control over their automation infrastructure, the perfect ICP for our self-hosted Enterprise plan.

• Strong Foundation: With ~800 inbound leads/month and a highly engaged developer community, you’ll benefit from momentum while also driving outbound efforts to expand our market footprint.

• Strategic Impact: You’ll build relationships with decision-makers across DevOps, Engineering, and IT. These are often hands-on, technical buyers, looking for trusted advisors, not just sales reps.

• Growth Environment: You’ll be at the heart of a startup scaling from Series A to B — where your feedback, creativity, and execution will directly shape how we build and sell.

• Collaborative Culture: Work closely with Product, Solution Engineers, Marketing, and Customer Success, a cross-functional team that moves fast and shares success.

What you’ll be doing:

• Own the entire sales process — from qualification to close — with average land deals of €35–45K ARR.

• Test and scale outbound tactics to build a repeatable and sustainable pipeline.

• Build long-term strategic relationships with engineering leaders and other technical buyers.

• Drive sales efficiency by improving internal processes, content, and tooling.

• Collaborate closely with Product to share customer feedback and influence roadmap decisions.

What we’re looking for:

• 4+ years of sales experience at a BtoB SaaS company

• Mid-Market experience: You’re used to closing 4 figure deals

• High quota: You've held a +600K ARR quota in your current / previous roles

• Top performer: You have a track record of being in the top 10% of your sales team

• Highly tech-savvy: You’ve sold to highly technical stakeholders (IT operations, devops, secops, software engineers) and/or know how to code and/or have an engineering background.

• Entrepreneurial mindset: You spot opportunities for growth, suggest a plan to address them, and execute it. You’re able to work independently without a ton of established structure or processes.

• Hunter mindset: You have a proven track record in outbound sales.

• Bonus points: You have experience with open source, developer tools, PLG companies and/or startups at Series A-C stage.

• Language: 🇩🇪 German and 🇬🇧 English fluent (the company language is English, do not send a German CV!)

• Location: Based in Europe.
