About the role
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 Executive team sets the direction, pace, priorities, and strategy of 1X. Their ability to make those calls quickly and coherently has the greatest outsized impact on the entire company. The Chief of Staff sits at the center of that team, ensuring the highest-leverage work gets the CEO’s time and the rest of the business stays aligned around it. Your Charter Serve as the operating partner to the CEO and the connective tissue across the leadership team. You are accountable for making the most important decisions faster and better. You will keep leadership executing against a shared set of priorities, driving cross-functional initiatives to completion, and turning our operating rhythms into durable systems. Your work is the difference between the CEO being a bottleneck and the CEO being fully leveraged. Key Outcomes High-quality decisions are made faster because information is synthesized, tradeoffs are clear, and recommendations are ready The leadership team executes toward the same priorities with fewer conflicting initiatives Company initiatives that span engineering, operations, product, finance, and people actually ship Leadership meetings become decision forums instead of status updates, and conflict gets resolved earlier OKRs, planning cadence, metrics, reviews, and communication rhythms become repeatable systems Key Competencies Judgment under ambiguity. You walk into a room with incomplete information, identify the real decision, and drive to a call Systems thinking. You see the company’s operating model end-to-end and spot where friction is compounding before others do Writing and synthesis. You turn a messy debate into a one-pager that clarifies the tradeoffs and the recommendation Executive presence. You hold your own with senior leaders, disagree productively, and never confuse proximity to power with authority Bias for closure. You finish what you start and are allergic to open loops Minimum
