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

Finance funds and tracks everything it takes to put NEO in the world: research, manufacturing, and a global supply chain. The team gives leadership and the Board an accurate picture of where money goes and what it buys. As 1X moves from building robots to shipping them at scale, that picture has to be right every month.

YOUR CHARTER

The mission of this role is to build the accounting, systems, and controls 1X needs to operate to public-company standards. …
