Simple, but it’s not.\nTo 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.\nNEO 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.\nIf 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.\nAbout the Team\nThe 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. We own the build, release, and continuous integration infrastructure that powers robotics software across core OS, motion, AI, embedded systems, cloud services, apps, and simulation.\nAs 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.\nYour Charter\nOwn and scale the automated build and release infrastructure that powers software development across 1X. You will design highly reliable CI/CD systems, optimize build performance, improve release automation, and establish engineering workflows that enable teams to ship software safely and efficiently across robotics, cloud, embedded, and simulation platforms.\nKey Outcomes\nDesign and scale automated build and release pipelines that support rapid software delivery across the entire software stack (embedded to cloud).\n\nImprove build reliability, build performance, and deployment efficiency while reducing engineering downtime and release risk.\n\nDevelop automated testing, artifact management, versioning, and release validation systems that ensure software quality before deployment.\n\nPartner with all software teams to standardize development workflows and improve engineering productivity.\n\nEstablish scalable developer infrastructure, release governance, and CI/CD best practices that support the continued growth of 1X's engineering organization.\n\nKey Competencies\nDeep expertise building large-scale CI/CD, build automation, and release engineering systems.\n\nStrong systems thinking with experience designing reliable developer infrastructure for complex software environments.\n\nExcellent software engineering skills with a focus on automation, scalability, and operational excellence.\n\nStrong understanding of software release lifecycle management across multiple platforms and engineering teams.\n\nAbility to lead technical initiatives and drive engineering productivity in a fast-paced startup environment.\n\nMinimum Requirements\n6+ years of professional experience (Senior) or 10+ years (Staff) in Build Engineering, Release Engineering, Developer Infrastructure, DevOps, or Platform Engineering.\n\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.\n\nStrong programming experience in Python, Go, Bash, or similar scripting and automation languages.\n\nHands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD systems using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Buildkite, Bazel, Buck2, CMake, or similar build systems.\n\nExperience supporting Linux-based development environments and distributed software engineering teams.\n\nPreferred Skills\nExperience supporting robotics, embedded systems, autonomous vehicles, games, or other large-scale software platforms.\n\nFamiliarity with cross-platform build systems, embedded firmware builds, or multi-language monorepos.\n\nExperience with containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.\n\nExperience managing artifact repositories, package management, release orchestration, and deployment automation.\n\nFamiliarity with cloud infrastructure platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.\n\nExperience optimizing build performance, distributed compilation, caching strategies, or large-scale developer tooling.\n\nWhat does a successful 1X Team Member look like:\nTeam 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.\nCompensation Range\n$190,000 - $230,000 + Equity\nBenefits\nComprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage\n\nGenerous paid time off, company holidays, and parental leave\n\n401(k) plan with company match (100% on the first 3% of contributions, 50% on the next 2%)\n\nFlexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Health Savings Accounts (HSA) options\n\nCommuter benefits (transit and parking)\n\nShort-term and long-term disability, and life insurance\n\nEmployee Assistance Program (EAP) for mental health, financial, and personal support\n\nOnsite snacks and catered lunches\n\nEqual Opportunity Employer\n1X is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
