MONUMENTAL | https://www.monumental.co/ | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | Onsite

We're building autonomous on-site construction robots at Monumental, starting with bricklaying.

I'm part of the software team, but this week I have been on-site in Amsterdam building the walls of a new canal. Does that sound exciting to you? You should apply!

We have built a product and technology that works, deployed it in real-life construction sites with excited pilot customers, and raised funding from some of the best in the world. We're still a small and nimble team of ~20 and are hiring mechanical engineers and multiple software engineering roles (product, controls, and machine vision).

Our stack includes: Rust, TypeScript, Nix/NixOS, Python.

Do you guys help with visas/residence permits? I'm on a Highly Skilled Migrant visa.

Seems like a cool company!


Yes, that shouldn't be an issue for software/meche positions.


Which canal? :)


It's in Houthavens. You should be able to spot us if you cycle through the bit that's still under construction!


I thought about applying when I saw this post last month. Cool product and interesting stack. But few things were a deal-breaker for me:

- no ability to work less than 40 hours

- very little room to work remotely

Overall the vibe of your FAQ page was a bit off-putting to me. Giving this as honest feedback, if you continue to struggle to fill this position, those are things you might want to have a second look at.


Thanks for the feedback.

Speaking from my personal perspective here: I find it very useful to have quick feedback cycles. I can quickly hack something together, walk downstairs and immediately run it on a real robot. Totally appreciate that on-site isn't for everyone, but I don't think we could build what we are building while remote.
