About the role

Set technical direction, establish reliability and performance standards, and raise the bar for the engineering team through code review, mentorship, and high-leverage architectural decisions
Execution-focused builder taking end-to-end ownership, ships production systems, and resolves high-impact issues without waiting for direction; relentlessly focused on simplicity and scalability
Technical leader setting direction, reviews critical code, mentors engineers, and makes data-driven decisions that improve outcomes across the team

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.

10+ years of software engineering experience, with 3+ years leading teams that ship production systems
Deep expertise in distributed systems, cloud architecture (AWS or GCP), APIs, and real-time data pipelines
Proficiency in Python, Go, or C++, with a proven track record of designing systems that scale while maintaining performance and stability

Experience in robotics, IoT, or real-time control systems where software interfaces with physical hardware at scale
Familiarity with fleet management, OTA deployment, or device telemetry systems
Experience hiring and growing engineering teams in a fast-moving environment

Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
Generous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options
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

The Cloud and Infrastructure team builds the software layer that connects 1X's physical robots to the digital systems that operate, monitor, and manage them at global scale.
We own everything from real-time fleet backends and data pipelines to customer-facing control interfaces and internal operations platforms; the systems that make it possible to deploy, manage, and improve thousands of robots in homes and warehouses around the world.
If you want to build the operational backbone of a new category of physical AI, this is where that work happens.
Own the design and execution of all software connecting the physical and digital layers of 1X's global robot operations from fleet management and real-time control to customer interfaces and internal operations platforms.
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.
