Role Summary

We are looking for a hands-on Automation & Data Platform Engineer to design, build, and maintain workflow automations, event-driven integrations, and data platform pipelines across n8n, Node-RED, and Databricks. This role sits at the intersection of systems integration, workflow orchestration, API engineering, and cloud data operations.

The ideal candidate has deep experience in n8n, strong hands-on experience in Node-RED and/or Databricks, and is comfortable building secure, scalable integrations between business systems, APIs, and data platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain production-grade workflows in n8n for business process automation, API orchestration, alerts, approvals, and data movement.
• Develop and support Node-RED flows for event-driven integrations, real-time data processing, device/system connectivity, and API-based automations.
• Integrate n8n and Node-RED workflows with Databricks jobs, notebooks, SQL warehouses, and REST APIs.
• Build automations that trigger Databricks workloads, monitor job status, handle retries, and route outputs to downstream systems.
• Work with engineering and data teams to move data reliably between SaaS systems, internal services, and the Databricks platform.
• Implement authentication, secret handling, logging, observability, and error handling across all workflows.
• Create reusable templates, shared components, and best practices for low-code and API-led integration development.
• Support CI/CD, testing, version control, and deployment processes for automation and data platform assets.
• Document workflows, integration patterns, operational runbooks, and architecture decisions.

Must-Have Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience with n8n in production environments.
• Good practical experience with Node-RED for event-driven flows, REST integrations, and workflow development.
• Good practical experience with Databricks, especially jobs, notebooks, SQL, and platform/API integration.
• Solid understanding of REST APIs, webhooks, JSON, OAuth2, API keys, and service-to-service authentication.
• Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and at least one scripting language used around data or automation, such as Python.
• Experience with Docker, Git, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong debugging skills across distributed workflows and API-based integrations.
• Ability to design reliable automations with retry logic, idempotency, monitoring, and alerting.

Preferred Requirements

• Experience with Databricks Jobs API, SQL Statement Execution API, or other Databricks platform APIs.
• Experience integrating workflow tools with data platforms, message queues, or event streams.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Experience with PostgreSQL, Delta/SQL, or other operational and analytical data stores.
• Exposure to governance, access control, secrets management, and auditability in regulated environments.
• Experience with IoT, telemetry, or operational systems is a plus if Node-RED will be used beyond pure SaaS integration.

What Success Looks Like

• Critical automations are stable, monitored, and easy to support.
• Databricks workloads can be triggered and managed cleanly from integration workflows.
• Reusable patterns reduce one-off flow sprawl across n8n and Node-RED.
• Business and data teams can rely on secure, documented, production-ready integrations.
