Mission: 1E’s mission is to help IT get more done every day.
There’s a glaring disconnect between IT and employees that will hold organizations back from evolving with the market and embracing a long-term digital workplace that is successful.
It's International Hug Day!
Company Overview
1E has been inventing solutions to help IT get more done every day for 22 years, earning over 40 patents in the process. Over 31 million licenses have been consumed by 1750 organizations to help IT teams with their endless to-do list.
With Tachyon, 1E has made a breakthrough to take the normal in IT from delay to done already. This is the way IT should always have been, starting and finishing the task within a single thought process.
1E has over 300 employees based primarily in the US, UK, and India, with smaller groups in Ireland and Australia. Our employees are fantastic, and our customers continually tell us so. This is because our team subscribes to our four values of intellectual curiosity, subject matter expertise, community first, and no compromise on delivery. We live by these values every day.
1E’s offices are located in New York, London and Delhi. 1E is employee-owned and has not accepted external investment so far to avoid altering our bias to always innovate. With Tachyon, our focus has shifted toward helping IT and the rest of the business deliver results faster and assisting IT teams with getting more done every day in this increasingly complex world.
We are an ethically and socially responsible company. We support British and Indian children’s charities, even employing a full-time child psychologist to help and mentor the children we support directly. We are also the main sponsor of a long-term research project with Warwick and Delhi universities to identify the motivations and interventions needed to get more women into higher education and decrease gender inequality.
Our Beginning
1E was founded in 1997 by Sumir Karayi. Highly technical and with many years of experience in blue chip organizations, Sumir saw a need to reduce the cost of managing Windows PCs and Servers.
Driven by word of mouth validation from our customers, 1E gained a reputation as the leading Microsoft Systems Management specialist, supporting our customers in robust content distribution, software asset management, and user self-service. In addition, 1E was a pioneer in PC Power Management and Green IT well before these became hot topics, helping companies reduce their waste at the same time as saving them money.
Leadership
1E prides itself on hiring the best people in the software industry. 1E team members are bright, self-motivated people who push boundaries in their pursuit of excellence. They are supported by a culture that encourages people to come up with innovative ideas to revolutionize IT and the digital world.
Our CEO once said, “It doesn’t start from the top down. Greatness comes from the people you gather around you.” The 1E foundation is comprised of the Board and the Executive Team. But we don’t place success just at the top: all of the employees across all of the offices are of the highest caliber. We believe in finding the best talent to offer the best service.
Working at 1E
Our key focus is to hire the right people, giving them the tools to work in a way that suits them and their team. We feel the traditional 9-6pm office hours are archaic and believe in empowering individuals to achieve their KPI’s in their own way. It doesn’t stop there; we have a corporate social responsibility to do our bit for the wider community.
Benefits
We offer highly competitive salaries and share options with a comprehensive benefits package that includes full medical, vision and dental, 22 days vacation, discounted gym memberships and highly flexible remote working environment.
At 1E, our core values help us identify what our organisation stands for, it shapes and influences the culture within the business, drives our success and most importantly it promotes a flexible and collaborative working environment, which subsequently enables us to delivery an excellent employee and customer experience.
Intellectual Curiosity: We have an endless desire to understand, challenge and innovate. Inspired by learning, we are always open to new ideas and perspective, putting individual agendas aside.
Subject Matter Expertise: We are experts in our field and take pride in everything we do. We are passionate about sharing our expertise and inspiring others. We welcome open and honest feedback as we are always striving to improve.
Belonging to the 1E Community: We are actively involved in the communities in which we work. We care about our colleagues and customers alike. We like to make a difference to the lives of others, especially those less fortunate than ourselves.
No Compromise on Delivery: We always go that extra mile to deliver on our promise. Our standards are exacting. We do not accept compromise from ourselves nor anyone else. We are self-motivated to succeed.
1E has a 20-year history of inventing IT solutions to augment IT staff productivity and for endpoint management. Over these years, 1E has pioneered PC power management, saving organizations over $2bn in energy costs, helped Microsoft customers realize significant benefits through peer distribution and automation technologies, and has now invented the first real-time endpoint management technology.
We are delighted to showcase products which are available as an individual subscription.

We are prioritising the safety of our customers and employees throughout this global pandemic. Our offices have been inspected and all relevant PPE and enhanced cleaning has been introduced in the event that we are able to return to the office. Currently, our offices are closed with only limited key people attending who are local and can drive. We have adopted a "Work From Anywhere" approach to help our employees during these strange times. We are still actively hiring and our recruitment and onboarding is all done virtually for the foreseeable future.

The process was very well structured. There were several stages with several people, they were always grouped together to avoid interview fatigue for all involved. Feedback was always prompt and the recruiter was super helpful.
