Technical Sourcer

Monumental is automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Our mission is to make construction primarily software-defined and work towards a future where beautiful bespoke buildings are built within a single day with minimal labour.

Were a growing team (about 100 team members) of mostly engineers and technicians coming from companies like Palantir Qualcomm Dyson Shopify Tesla Meta and 1X. Its still the early days of building the company and this is a unique opportunity to be an early employee in a high-growth high-ambition startup environment. From Day 1 youll be able to work with an experienced founding team backed by top-tier investors.

Monumental is based near Artis zoo in the Plantage in the city center of Amsterdam. We have a beautiful office with an in-house workshop and robot testing facility. Were explicitly not a hybrid or remote-first company: we enjoy collaborating 5 days a week at the office.

About you and this role

The engineers we want to hire dont usually apply to job posts. Theyre probably not browsing LinkedIn and when a recruiter reaches out with a generic template InMail they ignore it.

Weve grown from 15 to 100 people in under two years. Our R&D team covers software mechanical electrical controls perception and forward deployments engineers - and we need someone who can source for them full time.

Youll own inbound applications in R&D while finding creative ways to reach candidates then manage them through the process end to end. Youll work closely with our hiring team to understand what were 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 youre data driven and most importantly - you know what great engineers look and sound like and how to engage them.
