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.   Read more on why we believe you should spend your time working on construction, and learn about our vision https://www.monumental.co/our-vision/and company https://www.monumental.co/about/.

About the role The engineers we want to hire don't usually apply to job posts. When a recruiter reaches out with a generic template InMail, they ignore it. We've grown from 15 to 120+ people over the last couple of years. Our R&D team covers software, mechanical, electrical, controls, perception, and forward deployments engineers - and we need someone with the capacity to hire the best. You'll also be responsible for hiring , operators, technicians, and roles you won't find anywhere else. You'll own inbound applications in R&D, while finding creative ways to reach candidates, then manage them through the process end to end. You'll work closely with our hiring team to understand what we're building and why, so you can effectively grow our team. We want someone who biases towards deep, technical sourcing over volume. You will operate with significant autonomy and ownership, and deliver against our hiring plan with speed and precision. You iterate rapidly on your sourcing ideas, you're data driven, and most importantly - you know what great engineers look and sound like, and how to engage them. What you'll do - Owning sourcing and inbound pipeline for technical roles across software and hardware - Finding new ways to engage talent in unlikely places - personal websites, GitHub, citations, Discord servers, Substack, YouTube, you might even vibecode your own sourcing tool - whatever works - Partnering with hiring managers to deeply understand each role and what good looks like - Making our candidates feel your support: anticipating their needs, building rapport, and making them feel like you’re in their corner - Analysing sourcing metrics and iterating on what's working to accelerate hiring across R&D What we're looking for - You've sourced for tough-to-fill engineering roles before - software, hardware, or both - and you can already think of engineers in your network who'd be interested in Monumental - You have high standards. You'd rather tell a hiring manager a search is taking longer than put a mediocre candidate in front of them - Genuine interest in technology. You don't need to be an engineer, but you should be able to hold a semi-technical conversation about what someone builds and why it matters - Hiring managers trust you quickly. You earn credibility through competence and consistently delivering on what you say you will. - You pride yourself on giving outstanding candidate experience. You've probably placed candidates into multiple companies through long-term relationship building - Strong
