Technical Operations Engineer

 Company Description

X1X is building a new kind of laptop infrastructure in Africa. We work at the intersection of hardware, software, automation, AI tools, internal systems, and field execution.

This is not a slow corporate environment. It is a startup. The work is intense, priorities can shift fast, and there are never standard hours. This role is for someone who is comfortable inside that kind of environment and wants to grow with a company that is building real systems, not just presentations.

What will you do?

This role is broad by design. You may touch support, testing, scripts, UI fixes, automation, internal tools, and product-related tasks in the same day.

AI & Dev: Support AI development and X1 Intelligence-related work.

Technical Ops: Test laptops and technical workflows; handle support and troubleshooting.

Bug Hunting: Reproduce bugs, collect logs, and document technical problems.

Tooling: Build and maintain small internal tools, scripts, and automation.

Frontend: Support form logic, validation, process flows, and minor UI updates.

Data: Help manage and clean technical and operational data.

Outreach: Support technical execution of outreach systems and workflows.

What you need

Working knowledge of Python.

Working knowledge of JavaScript and React.

Comfort with Bash and PowerShell.

Strong debugging ability.

Ability to move across different technical tasks and learn existing systems fast.

Ability to work independently in a fast-moving environment.

Who fits this role?

We are looking for a person who is:

Hands-on and Fast: You prefer doing over talking.

Careful and Reliable: You take ownership of your output.

Resourceful: You find solutions when there is no manual.

Resilient: Comfortable with pressure and changing priorities.

Problem-Solver: Genuinely interested in software, operations, support, and testing.

What you get

Real responsibility from day one.

Direct exposure to building a startup from the ground up.

Opportunity to work across hardware, software, automation, and AI.

High ownership and strong growth potential as the company scales.

Final Note:

If you want a clean and predictable job, this is not for you.

If you want to build, solve, learn fast, and grow inside a hard, real startup environment—apply.
