    MONUMENTAL | <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.monumental.co&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.monumental.co&#x2F; | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | Onsite

    We make robots that autonomously construct buildings, starting with bricklaying.

    There&#x27;s a lot of vapourware in robotics, but we&#x27;re deploying robots across multiple concurrent sites today - and generating revenue. In the last couple of months, our robots have built affordable social housing, health care living units, canal walls in the historic city centre of Amsterdam, and a youth sports centre. Help us to build things that matter in the long run.

    We&#x27;re looking for experienced software engineers for many roles. You can help us solve problems like:

    - Data sync and analytics queries across a fleet of robots (that can be offline for hours at a time)

    - Modelling buildings in code and finding the right UI for operators to edit them

    - Designing systems for robots to drive safely and fully autonomously around a building site

    Check out the progress we&#x27;ve already made on Atrium, our operating system for robotics: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.monumental.co&#x2F;atrium" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.monumental.co&#x2F;atrium

    We&#x27;re rapidly scaling up operations (recently announced our Series B!) and we need experienced engineers who can build the systems that manage all of that complexity. If you think that &#x27;full-stack&#x27; could reasonably mean debugging firmware, mixing buckets of mortar _and_ writing React components, we are looking for you. Robotics experience not required!
