# General Opportunity at Monumental

- **Company:** Monumental

- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-07-15
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-15

## Job description

Monumental is automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Our mission is to make construction software-defined and autonomous - a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings go up in a single day, with minimal labour.

We're a growing team of engineers, operators and technicians from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta and Google DeepMind. It's still the early days of building the company, and this is a chance to make an outsized impact on a problem that matters. From day one, you’ll be working with an experienced founding team, backed by a $32M Series B led by Khosla Ventures and Plural.

Monumental is based in the city centre of Amsterdam, in a beautiful facility with an fully equipped workshop and robot testing floor. We build the whole stack in-house - hardware and software, we're explicitly not a hybrid or remote-first company - you can't build robots or walls from home, so we're onsite five days a week.

Read more on why we believe you should spend your time working on construction, and learn about [our vision](https://www.monumental.co/our-vision/)and [company](https://www.monumental.co/about/). You might enjoy [Based in Europe’s film on how we’re fixing Europe’s housing shortage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-Q2F0Fcx4A), or [this video by Andreas Klinger of what our office looks like](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOo8n19XEns).

## Why you should apply

Over the last century almost every industry has progressed while construction got slower, more expensive, and less beautiful than it used to be - despite making up 13% of global GDP. Europe needs [over two million new homes a year](https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/jrc-news-and-updates/housing-eu-more-2-million-new-homes-year-needed-2035-meet-demand-2025-12-16_en) and doesn't have the skilled trades to build them - the UK alone is short [20,000 bricklayers](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yg1471rwpo) for its housebuilding target.

In five years we've gone from designing autonomous bricklaying robots that work, through our first deployments, to [building at scale](https://www.monumental.co/projects) with a fleet of 150+ robots averaging 20 systems building a week. We've laid brick walls for more than 100 homes, a community centre, a hotel and 150m of canal wall - half of everything we've delivered went up this year.

We build the whole stack in-house. [Atrium](https://www.monumental.co/atrium), our operating system for construction, runs design, simulation, computer vision and fleet control in one system. The robots are designed and manufactured at our facility in central Amsterdam.

We're a small, talent-dense team - many of us have founded companies before. We believe speed of iteration is the biggest lever on problems this hard, so we let the people closest to the work own the decisions. Almost all our energy goes into the product and the sites it runs on - not meetings about it.

This is our open application form If nothing on our jobs page seems like a fit, and you are interested in working here - tell us why. Some of our best hires arrived this way. We're always looking for engineers, operators and technicians, and for generalists who focus on outcomes and are eager to learn on the job.

Show us something you've built, quantify the impact, and tell us what you'd want to work on at Monumental, why you want to join and your CV or portfolio.

One thing to know before you apply: every role today is based in Amsterdam. The UK and US are close behind, with pilots and deployments underway and facilities to follow. If you're interested in any of those locations, tell us where in the form. We don't currently offer internship.

Joining Monumental means being at the forefront of a movement aimed at making significant strides in the construction industry. Here, your work has the potential to impact not just the company but the future of how we build. If you're driven by innovation, eager to tackle complex challenges, and ready to make a tangible difference, we want to hear from you.

## About Monumental

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Automating on-site construction using a vertically integrated suite of autonomous robots controlled by software and machine vision.
- **Entity Type**: Private ($25M total funding)
- **Headquarters**: Amsterdam, Netherlands (Plantage area, near Artis zoo)
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Salar and Sebas (full names not publicly disclosed)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Construction robotics / autonomous construction
- **Target customers**: B2B – construction companies (currently deploying on real sites in the Netherlands)
- **Mission**: To make construction primarily software-defined and autonomous, working toward a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings can be built within a single day with minimal labor.

## Products & Services
- **Autonomous electric construction robots**: A suite of robots that perform on-site masonry (building facades, canal retaining walls, etc.). The system is vertically integrated – Monumental designs its own hardware, control software, and machine vision pipeline. Robots are treated as a distributed computing system, using Intel NUCs, Nvidia GPUs, RP2040s, and Power over Ethernet instead of traditional industrial PLCs or CAN bus.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding raised – **$25M** (date not specified, but recent)
- **Notable Investors**: Plural, Hummingbird, Northzone, Foundamental, NP-Hard
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Robots are already deployed on real construction sites in the Netherlands for paying customers.
  - Team size ~70 people (20 R&D, 30 deployment, 10 workshop, 10 operations/BD/founders). Split indicates scaling deployment operations.
  - Expanding into the UK market (posting for a Founding Robot Operator, UK).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vertical integration**: Full ownership of the stack from microcontroller code to robot assembly and control, enabling rapid, weekly iterations on both hardware and software.
- **Modern tech stack**: Control software in Rust, simulation and digital twin in TypeScript with Rust compiled to WebAssembly, machine learning in Python. This contrasts with the industry’s typical PLC/CAN‑bus approach.
- **Rapid prototyping culture**: Hardware is prototyped in-house (CNC, 3D printing, turning), allowing fast derisking and iteration.
- **Product‑outcome focus**: The team measures success in finished walls and building components, not just robot uptime.

## Strategic Focus
- **Incremental, achievable goals** in a traditionally change-resistant industry: start with small wins (facades, retaining walls) and scale.
- **Expand geographic footprint** (UK already targeted) and increase the number of robot operators and deployment teams.
- **Continue to iterate on hardware/software weekly** while maintaining a pragmatic, outcome‑oriented engineering culture.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Office‑first, 5 days a week in the Amsterdam city‑center office (hybrid/remote not supported). The environment is fast‑paced, high‑ambiguity, and highly collaborative.
- **Engineering**: Work on a vertically integrated stack – Rust, TypeScript, WebAssembly, Python, embedded C, hardware design – with weekly shipping cycles. Engineers have outsized impact, owning projects end‑to‑end.
- **Team**: ~70 people from diverse backgrounds (Palantir, Tesla, Qualcomm, Dyson, Meta, Shopify). Many are repeat founders; previous robotics experience is not required – learning fast is valued.
- **Perks**: Competitive salary + generous equity; beautiful office opposite Artis zoo with in‑house workshop and robot testing facility; visa sponsorship and relocation assistance for highly skilled migrants.
- **Impact**: Build physical products that affect the built environment, with the mission of making affordable, beautiful housing a reality.
