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 IT & Security team is responsible for building the secure operational foundation that enables 1X to scale globally across engineering, manufacturing, robotics operations, and corporate infrastructure. We focus on creating highly reliable, secure, and automated systems that allow employees and platforms to operate safely and efficiently in a fast-moving environment. Identity and access management is foundational to how we secure our infrastructure, applications, manufacturing systems, and robotics environments at scale. Your Charter Design, build, and scale the identity and access management infrastructure that secures employees, systems, applications, and operational environments across 1X. This role is critical to ensuring secure and seamless access across a rapidly growing humanoid robotics company while enabling automation, operational efficiency, and strong security controls across the organization.
