MONUMENTAL | https://www.monumental.co/ | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | Onsite

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 50 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

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.

This seems like a cool company but it would be cool to have some sort of idea what kind of compensation you're offering for these positions.

From digging around a bit, typical AMS rates. 80-120k EUR.

Other's are welcome to correct me though, if it's off.

Looking at the product I would say 2/3 of that would be closer to the reality. Numbers from your post are the ones for sexy finance/trading companies.

Have you been in the startup job market recently? 110k EUR seems like the most common baseline I see for high-growth EU startups hiring engineers with a few YoE. I don't work at a hyped finance company but I make north of the range listed above.

I see here in Munich 80k as max at well funded startups. Maybe it’s time to move to Netherlands then.

		The well paying jobs are the ones at startups funded by US VCs. It's much easier to pay well when you think of EU talent as a 25-50% discount on bay area salaries.

Can you recommend sites that have postings for EU startup jobs? I recently received EU citizenship so I'm thinking of making my way over to Europe in the next year or so.

How much is language a barrier for these kinds of jobs? I'm a native speaker of English and think that I can become proficient with French again within 3-6 months of immersion.

		I think the best way to find these roles is not to go through job boards at all. Job boards tend not to have the best quality talent, so the best quality jobs don't go there at all. I would say the biggest alpha in getting these jobs is keeping an eye out for routine funding announcements and applying directly via the company's page on Lever. I average around 1-2 recruiter inbound per month for this kind of role.
