Join Us in Building the Future of Home Robotics
At Sunday, we're developing personal robots to reclaim the hours lost to repetitive tasks. We're focused on an ambitious goal to make generalized robots broadly accessible, enabling households to take back quality time.
We have spent the last 18 months building a talented team, securing capital, and validating our technology. We are now seeking passionate individuals to join us in the next phase of our growth. If you are ready to apply your skills to the forefront of robotics innovation, we’d love to hear from you.
What to Expect
As our first dedicated IT hire, you will define and architect the digital backbone of our growing global robotics startup. You are a hands-on engineer responsible for a modern cloud-native stack, ensuring our team, workstations, and global offices remain secure, high-performing, and seamlessly connected. You will assess our groundwork and help define what IT looks like as we scale from a small startup to a scaled global robotics firm.
What You’ll Do
Endpoint Management: Own the full lifecycle of the corporate devices and engineering workstations, using modern MDM and automated provisioning.
Network Security: Secure on-premises and cloud-connected infrastructure through network segmentation, certificate-based authentication, and access controls appropriate for a hardware robotics environment.
Identity & Access (IAM): Administer our core identity stack (SSO, MFA, Passkeys) with a focus on seamless onboarding and offboarding.
Modern Security Defense: Protect our corporate identity & data against evolving threats, including AI-augmented threat vectors, social engineering, deepfakes, and identity-based attacks.
Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with the DevOps team to support agentic workflows and internal AI automation without friction, and with our Release and Operations teams to achieve secure deployed robotics hardware communications.
Global Infrastructure: Design and manage secure, high-speed connectivity for a distributed international workforce operating across complex regional network environments, leveraging Zero Trust architectures. Own the availability and alerting for core corporate systems to ensure zero-bottleneck engineering.
Global Vendor Management: Act as the technical lead for international partners, ensuring secure data exchange and IP protection at the corporate level.
What You’ll Bring
Systems Expert: Deep experience with modern MDM (e.g., Iru, Jamf, Intune) and cloud-native identity providers (e.g., Okta, Google).
Proactive Mindset: Stays current on the latest vulnerabilities and automated defense strategies (vulnerability scanning, patch management).
Startup Agility: Able to assess, recommend and build scalable, documented IT processes in a high-growth environment.
Global Systems Architect: Proven ability to manage complex, cross-border networking challenges (e.g. SD-WAN, SASE) for distributed teams operating in varied regulatory and infrastructure environments.
At Sunday Robotics, we’re building technology shaped by real people — curious, creative, and diverse. We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer and consider all qualified applicants regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
Even if you don’t meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply. Studies show that women and underrepresented groups often hold back unless they meet 100% of the criteria — we don’t want that to be the reason we miss out on great talent.
