ABOUT 1X
We’re building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it’s not.
To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing - at the same time, at scale, in a form factor that has to be safe enough to live with your family. If you’re inspired by this, you’ll thrive here. We’ve been at this since 2014 and we’re at the point where the hard problems are behind us and the hard work is in front of us.
NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people. We’re not demoing it - we’re shipping it. We’re excited to meet you, if this excites you.
If you’ve spent your career working on problems that matter and want to see them actually reach the world - this is that moment. We’re scaling, we’re hiring with intention, and we need people who want to build something that will genuinely change how humans spend their time - safely creating abundance for all.
ABOUT THE TEAM
The Business Systems Engineering team builds the software systems that keep 1X running. From manufacturing and supply chain to inventory management, planning, and sales operations, we develop the internal platforms that connect every part of the company.
Unlike traditional enterprise software teams, we sit close to the people using our tools every day. Engineers on this team work directly with manufacturing, operations, supply chain, and business teams to solve real-world problems and build software that enables the company to scale. The systems we build are mission-critical to producing and delivering humanoid robots at volume.

WHAT DOES A SUCCESSFUL 1X TEAM MEMBER LOOK LIKE?
Team members at 1X who thrive here are builders. They move fast, own their work completely, and treat time like it’s the one thing you can’t get back - because it is. They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask. We push each other to be better, and we do it with honesty and respect.
Successful engineers on this team are pragmatic problem solvers who enjoy building software that directly impacts how a company operates. They take ownership from design through production, work closely with end users, and understand that the best systems are measured by the outcomes they enable.
