REGARDING DECEMBER - if you already submitted to last December's post, and haven't heard from us yet, we're still getting to you. The team's been working really hard over the last year, and I unexpectedly gave most of the folks helping me with job submissions the time off at the end of December / beginning of January. Apologies for the delay, and we will be with you soon. Rest assured there are jobs we're trying to fill - in fact, more than ever, it seems.
Product Engineer: (React/Typescript) who would work closely with product and design to build user-facing parts of the platform. You will craft performant, stable frontends that explain technical concepts to non-technical users and help us iterate fast based on customer feedback.
AI Engineer: Applied AI plus strong software engineering. You will build, evaluate, and deploy LLM-driven features like deep document analysis and interactive chat, working with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini. Expect hands-on Python, ML system design, experimentation, and production reliability. Bonus for RAG depth and frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Hugging Face.
Backend Engineer: (looking for Kotlin/Java/Scala experience). You'll work across the backend: building enterprise integrations, large-scale scraping and parsing pipelines, and systems that let users apply LLMs to millions of documents to generate insights at scale.
We're looking to build our in-person team in NYC but also open to remote!

We make robots that autonomously construct buildings. We are currently developing and manufacturing our autonomous bricklaying system in the beautiful centre of Amsterdam. And our robots are already earning real revenue operating on construction sites all over the Netherlands.
We're looking for experienced software engineers for PLATFORM and FULL STACK who 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)
- Rapid deployment and iteration of experimental software changes across firmware, control software and UI
- Modelling buildings in code and finding the right UI for operators to edit them
Check out the progress we've already made on Atrium, our operating system for robotics: https://www.monumental.co/atrium
We're rapidly scaling up operations and we need experienced engineers who can build the systems that manage all of that complexity. If you think that 'full-stack' could reasonably mean debugging firmware, mixing buckets of mortar _and_ writing React components, we are looking for you. Robotics experience not required!
