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 Business Systems Engineering team builds the software systems that keep 1X running. From manufacturing and supply chain to inventory management, planning, and sales operations, we develop the internal platforms that connect every part of the company. Unlike traditional enterprise software teams, we sit close to the people using our tools every day. Engineers on this team work directly with manufacturing, operations, supply chain, and business teams to solve real-world problems and build software that enables the company to scale. The systems we build are mission-critical to producing and delivering humanoid robots at volume. Your Charter Build the software infrastructure that powers how 1X operates. You will design, develop, and operate the internal systems that support production, inventory, planning, procurement, and business operations across the company. Working across the full stack, you'll help build our in-house ERP/MRP platform and integrate critical systems that connect manufacturing, engineering, and operations. Your work will directly impact the company's ability to scale production, improve operational efficiency, and execute reliably as we grow. Key Outcomes Deliver reliable production software that supports manufacturing, supply chain, inventory, and business operations across the company Develop and maintain core ERP/MRP functionality that improves planning, execution, traceability, and operational visibility Build scalable APIs, services, and data models that integrate systems across engineering, manufacturing, and business workflows Improve system performance, reliability, observability, and deployment automation across business-critical applications Partner closely with operations teams to identify workflow bottlenecks and deliver software solutions that create measurable business impact Key Competencies Strong full-stack software engineering skills with the ability to build and operate production systems end-to-end Ability to translate ambiguous operational challenges into practical, maintainable software solutions Strong systems thinking across applications, infrastructure, integrations, and business workflows Ownership mindset with a focus on reliability, scalability, and long-term maintainability Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders Minimum
