The Role:11:11 is hiring a Software Engineer to join the developers on our Cloud Development & Engineering (CDE) team, with a focus on automation. You'll split your time between two complementary areas: contributing to our in-house distributed workflow automation platform and building automation on top of it to support our infrastructure and service delivery teams. On the platform side you'll write Rust and extend the engine, runners, and language bindings. On the delivery side you'll author automation - primarily in Ansible and Python - that handles a wide range of operational work, from infrastructure configuration to provisioning and integrations across internal and third-party systems. The specific automation is driven by what our partner teams need, so the work stays varied and you'll regularly collaborate across the organization. This is a full-time remote role, based in North America, reporting to the VP of Cloud Development & Engineering.
Responsibilities:- Contribute features, bug fixes, and improvements to our workflow automation platform (a Rust-based workflow engine with distributed runners, REST/gRPC APIs, and Ansible/Python/container runtimes).
- Author automation - workflows and tasks written largely in Ansible and Python - in support of infrastructure and service delivery teams.
- Partner with stakeholder teams to understand their needs and turn manual or ad-hoc processes into reliable, repeatable automation.
- Build and integrate with custom APIs and external systems to connect automation across the infrastructure and service delivery stack.
- Help improve the tooling, runtimes, and developer experience that other teams use to author their own automation.
- Work supportively with colleagues, operating in a manner that is consistent with 11:11's Code of Business Ethics and Company Values.
- Responsibly receive, transmit, and handle company data and information per Company data handling agreements, work procedures and policies.
- Review and follow company policies and guidelines, data privacy practices, including annual compliance training certification and policy acknowledgements.
- Additional duties as assigned.

- Relevant technical certifications (e.g., cloud, Kubernetes, automation) preferred.
- Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across distributed teams and manage multiple priorities.
- Demonstrated ability to learn new tools and technologies and to work proactively in a fast-paced environment.
- Must be legally eligible to work in North America without visa sponsorship.
Technical skills preferred:- Experience with a systems language such as Rust, Go, or C/C++.
