Software Engineer, Generalist
Monumental, Amsterdam
The role
Monumental are automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Atrium https://www.monumental.co/atrium, our operating system for construction, lets us do everything from building walls with our robots, to designing buildings, managing our robot fleet, analyzing data, and much more. Our stack is broad by necessity: we use Rust for many things from robot middleware to back-end services, TypeScript across our web app and internal tools, and NixOS to manage our servers as well as the computers in our robots.
As we're deploying more robots and software, we're always running into new challenges. The problems are often not straightforward: poor connectivity on a construction site because of interference, a memory leak that only becomes an issue after hours of runtime, a robot behaving differently than the simulation. This means a lot of creative problem solving is involved. One of our engineers even traced down a problem to a memory leak in Chrome , which got fixed soon after he submitted a bug report.
