For that role, we are currently looking for candidates who are already living in the Netherlands. If you are a foreigner, but already live here, we can continue sponsoring your visa.
For the other software roles we will consider candidates who want to move to Amsterdam from abroad. We can get you the necessary work visa.
We’re creating robots that autonomously construct buildings. We design all of our hardware and software in-house in central Amsterdam, starting with autonomous bricklaying robots.
Building a robot like this means solving all sorts of interesting challenges: figuring out the robot's position with sub-mm precision; navigating autonomously around the building site; automating measurement and calibration of new robots; lots of distributed systems and so on.
Our robots are now continuously deployed on customer sites and we are earning real money as a masonry contractor. The full team is more than 60 people and we're growing rapidly to meet demand.
Our stack is mostly: Rust, TypeScript, Python, NixOS.
Some open roles:
- Software Engineer, Controls
- Software Engineer, Machine Vision
- Assembly/manufacturing technicians and robot operators
https://www.monumental.co/jobs
P.S. We're always on the lookout for very strong generalist engineers who can operate at any layer of the stack (firmware, networking, UI, application code - whatever's needed!) Drop me an email if this sounds like you.
But, for sanity's sake, if we insist on putting 'vision' in there, let's at least call them LVLMs!

We’re creating robots that autonomously construct buildings. We design all of our hardware and software in-house in central Amsterdam, starting with autonomous bricklaying robots.
We have built a machine vision pipeline that can achieve sub-millimetre localisation on construction sites, and a software stack that lets us prototype on the fly. We have a pipeline full of exciting (building) projects and are making real revenue as a masonry contractor each month.
The full team is now about 45 people (and still growing fast!) There’s strong customer demand for what we’re building and we need talented people to meet it.

English is the primary language at Monumental, and we have many non-Dutch speakers. However, Dutch is a _useful_ skill to have if you are frequently deployed on construction sites (and we do take that into consideration for the FDRE role).

Great achievement though.
Edit: apparently it was unclear to many readers - Concorde was a supersonic civilian aircraft. And, though partly built by private companies, it was certainly a state project.
The screen on my original Pebble died a long time ago and I've always wondered whether I should try to bring it back to life. Perhaps now is the time!

We have built a machine vision pipeline that can achieve sub-millimetre localisation on construction sites, and a software stack that lets us prototype on the fly. Right now, we have multiple robots deployed on real construction sites and have started making revenue from our bricklaying-as-a-service model.

Late last year we started hiring for a new role: Forward Deployed Robotics Engineer (also open to interns). We are looking for people can bridge the gap between software engineering and the construction site: operating the robot; spotting opportunities to build faster and better; and rapidly hacking them into existence.
My colleague has written a blog post[1] about his experience in this role - give it a read if you're interested.

This seems like an existential risk to the company if something better comes along. Sure, they have massive lock-in, but these things don't last forever. Remember when we all thought that Microsoft Office file formats guaranteed an eternal monopoly?
This sentence begs for an entire blog post of its own.

We have built a machine vision pipeline that can achieve sub-millimetre localisation on construction sites, and a software stack that lets us configure and control robots with ease. We’re deploying our robots on real construction sites and have started making the first revenue from our bricklaying-as-a-service model.
The software team is now ten people. The team is approaching 40 in total (and growing quickly!) There’s strong customer demand for what we’re building, and we’re scaling up robot production to meet it.

Whatever comes next, IMO the killer feature will be that it enables rock solid developer tooling. LSPs that work; typed inputs to modules; control of deployment of NixOS machines and so on.
If it's proprietary, and that's clear from the start, I don't think that's necessarily a problem.
Is the `use` statement blocking (in which case it doesn't seem that useful)? Or does it return immediately and then await at the point of use of the value it binds?

The software team is now nine people (~35 people overall), and continuing to grow. There’s strong customer demand for what we’re building, and we’re starting to scale up robot production to meet it.
