Automation Engineer (n8n Expert)

Job Title: Automation Engineer (No-Code/Low-Code Expert)

Location: Remote

Type: Full-Time

About Us

At The Ladder, we’re on a mission to build scalable systems that help brands grow faster, smarter, and more efficiently. A huge part of that vision relies on automation-first thinking — whether it's in marketing, sales, operations, or internal workflows.

We’re now looking for an Automation Engineer who can help us design and implement powerful automations using no-code and low-code tools like Make.com, n8n, Zapier, GoHighLevel, while also understanding the backend logic and integrations needed to build efficient, scalable systems.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, build, and maintain automation workflows

   using tools like 

  Make.com, n8n, Zapier.

• Integrate third-party APIs

   and build custom connectors where needed.

• Design smart backend workflows

   that reduce manual effort and increase speed across business units (sales, onboarding, content ops, etc.)

• Develop a centralized automation library

   — templates, modules, and playbooks for reusability across clients and internal operations.
• Work with stakeholders to 

  map out business processes

  , identify inefficiencies, and implement automation where it drives the most impact.
• Perform development logic when needed for custom logic, scripts, or advanced integrations.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have:

• Strong hands-on experience with 

  no-code/low-code tools

   (Make, n8n, Zapier, GoHighLevel, Airtable, etc.)
• Solid understanding of 

  API integrations, webhooks, and data structuring (JSON/XML)

• Ability to 

  analyze workflows and build scalable, modular automation systems

• Attention to detail

   and structured thinking — you build clean, maintainable systems, not quick hacks
• Strong documentation habits — you’ll help build a 

  library of repeatable automation templates

• Knowledge of Python or Java for building custom backend logic when required

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience working with 

  CRMs, marketing automation platforms

  , or internal dashboards
• Familiarity with 

  SaaS workflows, lead gen pipelines, or content automation stacks

Why Join Us?

- Work on high-impact automations that drive core business outcomes

- Fully remote role with flexible hours

- Build an internal automation systems library from scratch

- Opportunity to scale into a Tech Lead or System Architect role as the company grows

-Be part of a forward-thinking team that embraces AI, automation, and speed

  resume

• A short note on 

  your experience with Make/n8n/Zapier (n8n candidates will be prioritised)
