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.

About The RoleMonumental are already deploying robots into the real world at scale, building beautiful, bespoke homes. Our robots are on sites across the Netherlands and the UK and will be in the US within a year. Every deployment teaches us something about our hardware; you’ll push our R&D fleet to become one ready for large-series production: you'll own taking us from tens of robots a year to hundreds, and then thousands. You'll also keep that growing fleet deployable, and making design changes yourself to improve reliability and serviceability.
Scaling a fleet means solving whatever is in the way: limited space, no clear production process, lead times we can't live with and modules that don't survive the harsh conditions of a construction site. You’ll be expected to wear many hats; we’re looking for people who are genuinely excited to lead these efforts.
Our robots are built from modules at every level of maturity, so expect to work with the hardware R&D team at early stages of development to validate R&D designs as fast as we can. In parallel, you'll be in the workshop determining how we assemble them: the processes, the fixtures, the production space itself, getting the very best out of our Amsterdam facilities.
