About the role

  • If you want to work on the systems layer that makes physical AI possible at scale, this is that team.
  • This is critical-path work: as 1X scales from hundreds to tens of thousands of robots, the reliability, performance, and simplicity of networking is a critical piece of successful deployments.
  • Load balancing and resource management on both client and server

Responsibilities

  • We're building humanoid robots that work in home - doing the chores, handling the tasks, and giving people their time back.
  • NEO is our flagship - a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside real people.
  • 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.

Requirements

  • 6+ years in network engineering, distributed systems, or related cloud infrastructure roles
  • Proven experience shipping network systems in production at large scale
  • Strong experience with network fundamentals including TCP/IP, UDP, and related video/audio protocols
  • Experience with wireless network (wifi/5G) in mobile or embedded systems

Nice to have

  • Preferred Skills:

Skills

  • Experience in robotics, autonomous vehicles, drones, or other embedded realtime systems
  • Experience with video transport protocols such as WebRTC or MoQ.
  • Experience with edge computing or hybrid cloud/edge networking
  • Experience with multi-radio systems
  • WHAT DOES A SUCCESSFUL 1X TEAM MEMBER LOOK LIKE
  • They say what they mean, finish what they start, and hold themselves to a standard before anyone has to ask.
  • $190,000 - $230,000 + Equity
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Generous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave
  • 401(k) plan with company match (100% on the first 3% of contributions, 50% on the next 2%)
  • Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options

Compensation

  • $190,000 - $230,000 + Equity

Benefits

  • Commuter benefits (transit and parking)
  • Short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health, financial, and personal support

Company info

  • Own the core networking systems for robots and design topologies that maximize QoS for peer-to-peer, peer-to-server, and one-to-many.
  • Design and implement load balancing strategies that maximize network utilization.
  • Manage seamless connectivity across multiple networks (eg wifi, 5G)
  • Build APIs & protocols that transmit multi-model data at scale, including high-bandwidth video
  • Deep understanding of network topology design for peer-to-peer, peer-to-server, and one-to-many multicast
  • Experience architecting systems that support network transitions and degraded connectivity
  • Protocol design for high-bandwidth high-QoS multimodal payloads
  • End-to-end system thinking across hardware, embedded, network stack, and cloud including QoS design (e.g. traffic classes, scheduling, and budgeting).
  • Congestion control and bandwidth estimation for building an adaptive realtime stack.
  • 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.
