Job Description

At 011h, we are revolutionizing the construction sector to make it more sustainable, efficient, and digital. We design and build buildings with an industrialized vision, using innovative technologies and planet-responsible materials, such as wood. Our mission is clear: to build better, for everyone.

We are the first "end-to-end" digital platform for construction in Europe. We combine knowledge of architecture and engineering with the power of technology to standardize processes, automate tasks, and scale solutions that transform the sector without sacrificing design, quality, or positive impact.

At 011h, design, construction, and software professionals work collaboratively in a dynamic, ambitious environment oriented toward sustainability. If you are inspired by the idea of changing how the world is built, this is the place for you.

Currently, our scope of activity is Spain, with prospects for internationalization in the coming years.

At 011h, we are looking for a Forward Deployed Engineer to join our team.

The challenge

Most of our engineering work flows through product teams: a PM frames the problem, a Tech Lead breaks it down, and the team builds it. That model is appropriate for our platform, but not for a class of high-impact work that lives between engineering, the construction domain, and our operations: ambiguous and messy problems where the fastest path to value is an engineer sitting with the problem, not behind a backlog.

The Forward Deployed Engineer owns that work, and AI is their primary tool: a large part of the solutions you build will be AI-native (agents, LLMs, end-to-end process extraction and automation), with AI as a multiplier at every step.

Our CPO defines which big problems to addressβ€”the "what"; and the Head of Engineering frames how to attack themβ€”the "how." From there, the project is yours: you speak directly with the end user to understand the real pain that needs to be solved, propose several solutions and decide on the best one, validate the approach by putting a prototype in their hands, build it, and launch it. And you do it at a high pace: on the order of one project delivered every ~3 weeks.

Requirements

What will you do at 011h?

  • Work side-by-side with business teams (Project Management, Design, Operations, and Product) to understand, frame, and solve high-impact problems that do not yet have a clear specification.
  • Design and build end-to-end solutions, from data pipelines and OCR/extraction flows to internal automations and AI-augmented tooling, taking them from prototype to production.
  • Stay hands-on from start to finish: you speak with the domain expert, write the specification, and deliver the code, often without a PM intermediary.
  • Work AI-native by default: intensive use of Claude Code and our internal AI platform as a natural part of how you build.
  • Decide what is worth building, buying, or leaving alone, and communicate it clearly.
  • Graduate proven solutions toward their definitive scope: hand over mature work to a product team when it makes sense, rather than accumulating an ownerless backlog.
  • Collaborate transversally with digital Product Management, Product Design, and the rest of Engineering, sharing learnings and elevating our AI-native culture.

Tech Stack

  • Backend: Python with FastAPI, domain-driven microservices architecture (DDD), APIs first.
  • Frontend: TypeScript with React, Zustand (global state management), TanStack, React Router.
  • Data and messaging: PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ (with Protocol Buffers for message serialization), Redis.
  • Infrastructure and deployment: AWS, EKS, ArgoCD, Helm, Terraform, KEDA, GitLab CI, Docker.
  • Quality: Automated testing (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, Pytest), Security by Design.
  • AI and productivity: Claude Code, CodeRabbit, n8n, MCPs of our tools, and other tools that we will incorporate as part of our AI-native strategy.

What profile are we looking for?

  • 5+ years of experience in software development building and delivering products in production.
  • Demonstrable experience automating workflows and business processes with AI: orchestration of agents/LLMs, integrations between systems, and pipelines that reduce manual work from end to end.
  • Senior generalist profile: comfortable across the stack (backend, data, and frontend when necessary), optimizing to deliver value rather than specializing in a single layer.
  • Strong experience with Python/FastAPI and fluency with TypeScript/React (or vice versa), with a willingness to move fluidly between both sides.
  • Track record of taking end-to-end solutions autonomously: from understanding an ambiguous problem to designing, building, and putting it into production.
  • Product mindset: you think in terms of results and trade-offs, you know how to operate without a PM intermediary, and you know when to involve one.
  • Domain curiosity: you are genuinely interested in how construction, procurement, and operations actually work, and you ask questions until you understand the problem better than the person bringing it to you.
  • Experience with AI-assisted development flows (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot or similar) and judgment on where they add value and where they do not.
  • Ability to collaborate transversally with Product, Design, and other teams, and communicate technical trade-offs to non-technical audiences.
  • Fluent communication in Spanish and English.

Bonus

  • Previous experience as a forward-deployed engineer, solutions engineer, growth engineer, applied engineer, founding engineer, or in roles that combine hands-on engineering with product responsibility.
  • Previous experience in construction tech, PropTech, AEC, or BIM/IFC tools.
  • Experience with automation and orchestration tools (n8n, Make/Zapier, or similar) and with building agentic workflows in production.
  • Experience building or integrating AI pipelines into products (LLMs, OCR, agents, RAG, evals).
  • Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL) and event-driven architectures (RabbitMQ, Kafka, or other brokers).

Benefits

What we offer:

  • 🌱 Real impact: be part of a company that is transforming construction toward a sustainable and positive model for the planet.
  • πŸ“ˆ Professional growth: individual development plan with opportunities for continuous learning and training.
  • 🀝 Great environment and collaboration: multidisciplinary, diverse team with a culture of support and closeness.
  • 🧘 Well-being and balance: the balance between your personal and professional life is important to us, which is why we enjoy two remote work days per week.
  • 🏒 Sustainable offices: pleasant spaces, designed for collaboration and environmental respect.
  • πŸ–οΈ 30 working days of vacation per year so you can enjoy your personal time.

At 011h, we promote diversity and inclusion. Everyone is welcome, regardless of their origin, identity, orientation, age, or ability. We adapt the process if you need it. Join a team that values different perspectives and experiences.

En 011h estamos revolucionando el sector de la construcciΓ³n para hacerlo mΓ‘s sostenible, eficiente y digital. DiseΓ±amos y construimos edificios con una visiΓ³n industrializada, utilizando tecnologΓ­as innovadoras y materiales responsables con el planeta, como la madera. Nuestra misiΓ³n es clara: construir mejor, para todos.

Somos la primera plataforma digital "end to end" para la construcciΓ³n en Europa. Combinamos el conocimiento de la arquitectura y la ingenierΓ­a con el poder de la tecnologΓ­a para estandarizar procesos, automatizar tareas y escalar soluciones que transformen el sector sin renunciar al diseΓ±o, la calidad ni el impacto positivo.

En 011h, profesionales del diseΓ±o, la construcciΓ³n y el software trabajan de forma colaborativa en un entorno dinΓ‘mico, ambicioso y orientado a la sostenibilidad. Si te inspira la idea de cambiar cΓ³mo se construye el mundo, este es tu lugar.

Actualmente, nuestro Γ‘mbito de actividad es EspaΓ±a, con perspectivas de internacionalizaciΓ³n en los prΓ³ximos aΓ±os.

En 011h buscamos a un/a Forward Deployed Engineer que se una a nuestro equipo.

El reto

La mayorΓ­a de nuestro trabajo de ingenierΓ­a fluye a travΓ©s de equipos de producto: un PM enmarca el problema, un Tech Lead lo descompone y el equipo lo construye. Ese modelo es el adecuado para nuestra plataforma, pero no para una clase de trabajo de alto impacto que vive entre la ingenierΓ­a, el dominio de la construcciΓ³n y nuestras operaciones: problemas ambiguos y desordenados donde el camino mΓ‘s rΓ‘pido hacia el valor es un ingeniero sentado con el problema, no detrΓ‘s de un backlog.

El Forward Deployed Engineer es dueΓ±o de ese trabajo, y la IA es su herramienta principal: buena parte de las soluciones que construirΓ‘s serΓ‘n nativas de IA (agentes, LLMs, extracciΓ³n y automatizaciΓ³n de procesos de extremo a extremo), con la IA como multiplicador en cada paso.

Nuestro CPO define quΓ© grandes problemas abordar, el quΓ©; y el Head of Engineering enmarca cΓ³mo atacarlos, el cΓ³mo. A partir de ahΓ­, el proyecto es tuyo: hablas directamente con el usuario final para entender el dolor real que hay que resolver, propones varias soluciones y decides la mejor, validas el enfoque poniendo un prototipo en sus manos, lo construyes y lo lanzas. Y lo haces a ritmo alto: del orden de un proyecto entregado cada ~3 semanas.
