LEAD AUTOMATION ENGINEER (Data Routing & n8n)

LEAD AUTOMATION ENGINEER (Data Routing & n8n)

Company: NEWAX TECHNOLOGIES (SMC-PRIVATE) LIMITED

Entity Type: Premier Digital Infrastructure Firm

The Mandate: Newax Technologies is not another digital vendor; we are an Enterprise Automation Solution Provider. We build independent digital ecosystems for our clients across 8 key sectors. We do not rely on basic Zapier workflows or expensive third-party SaaS. We engineer high-velocity, self-hosted automation infrastructure to give our enterprise clients absolute data sovereignty. We are seeking an Automation Engineer who is obsessed with data routing, API efficiency, and clean logic.

Core Responsibilities:

• Architect, deploy, and maintain complex data routing workflows using self-hosted n8n environments.
• Parse and clean highly unstructured data from legacy systems and format it into structured JSON for real-time CRM ingestion.
• Build custom code nodes within automation workflows to handle edge cases that out-of-the-box integrations cannot process.
• Ensure extreme data velocity and zero-latency execution across interconnected enterprise systems (Supabase, EspoCRM, Next.js hubs).
• Monitor API limits, manage webhooks securely, and troubleshoot workflow failures immediately.

Technical Requirements:

• Absolute mastery of n8n (Self-hosted environments).
• Deep fluency in JavaScript/TypeScript for custom logic.
• Advanced Regex (Regular Expressions) for ruthless data parsing and extraction.
• Expert-level understanding of Webhooks, RESTful APIs, OAuth2, and JSON architecture.
• Ability to map out complex logic trees before writing a single line of code.

The Hiring Protocol (Proof of Work ONLY): To claim this seat, complete the following test:

The Trial: We will provide a highly unstructured, messy CSV file. You must use n8n to clean the data, format it into structured JSON, and trigger a simulated API alert. Submit your workflow JSON and deployment link.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: Rs300,000.00 - Rs1,000,000.00 per month

Application Question(s):

• Zapier and Make.com are for beginners. We self-host our infrastructure to bypass the 'Automation Tax.' In 3 sentences, explain the architectural difference between running n8n via Docker versus a managed SaaS, and how you would handle persistent volume storage for n8n executions.
• You receive a highly unstructured, messy string payload from a legacy hospital system. You need to extract exactly 4 digits that follow the word 'DiagCode:' but the spacing is inconsistent (e.g., 'DiagCode: 1234', 'DiagCode:1234', 'DiagCode : 1234'). Write the exact Regex pattern you would use in a JavaScript node to extract this safely.
• You are building an n8n workflow that pulls 50,000 rows from our Supabase database and enriches each row via a third-party API that strictly limits requests to 50 per second. How do you architect this in n8n to ensure zero data loss and zero API bans?
• At Newax, we have a strict Sandbox Mandate. No workflow is pushed to production without testing. How do you handle Environment Variables and separated credentials (Dev vs. Prod) within n8n?

Experience:

• Backend Data Engineering, or Systems Integration: 4 years (Required)

Language:

• Technical English (Fluent) (Required)

License/Certification:

• GitHub/n8n Community Profile or n8n Certification (Preferred)

Work Location: In person
