MONUMENTAL | https://www.monumental.co/ | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Full Time | Onsite
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 many roles. You 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)
- Modelling buildings in code and finding the right UI for operators to edit them
- Designing systems for robots to drive safely and fully autonomously around a building site
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!
I can see that. Pydantic is great but relatively slow (which matters on edge devices) and can be bloated.
The fact that all your projects use Pydantic makes it an easy starting point and created standardisation - of course.
Nevertheless, I can definitely see some use-cases for lightweight JSON-serialisation without bringing in Pydantic. Dataclasses are great, but lack proper json handling.
I wonder if this isn't toooo much magic. How does this scale beyond simple use-cases? I fear one might hit a wall at 80%, where the first part is super easy indeed but not customizable enough to get to 100% of all use-cases.
Overall love the DX with Claude Code in my vscode (kinda hate all the CLI only approaches the rest have), but would be great to still utilize other models.
