Senior Workplace Platforms Lead - IT and Business Systems

About 1X

We’re building humanoid robots that work in the home—doing chores, handling tasks, and giving people their time back. Simple, but it’s not. To do this right, we have to solve robotics, AI, manufacturing—and do it at scale, in a form factor safe enough to live with your family. We’ve been at this since 2014 and are now focused on shipping our flagship product, NEO, a home robot designed to move, learn, and operate in the real world alongside people.

The IT & Business Systems team builds and operates the internal platforms that enable 1X to scale globally across engineering, manufacturing, operations, and corporate functions.
