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.
The Tooling team builds the tools, pipelines, and infrastructure that speed up iteration and give us confidence our software works properly before it reaches physical robots. This team focuses on eliminating developer friction by improving CI/CD performance, optimizing build infrastructure, and creating scalable automation that allows engineers to spend more time building robots and less time waiting for pipelines.
As our engineering organization scales, this team is critical to reducing developer friction, increasing release quality, and enabling rapid deployment of software to both simulation environments and physical robots.

Experience supporting robotics, autonomous systems, embedded software, gaming, or other performance-sensitive engineering organizations.
Experience implementing observability, monitoring, and analytics for CI/CD systems and developer workflows.
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.
