Call for Founding Engineers: Construction Robotics

Bumatic is transforming construction through an integrated platform of mobile robotics and AI. Our goal is to address the global housing crisis by building faster, cheaper, higher-quality, more sustainable homes and structures.

We are a very early-stage startup. Joining us now means building Bumatic with us from the ground up, shaping its technology and its culture. The work is bleeding-edge, ambitious and demanding. It might call for longer days or the odd weekend push as it is typical in very early-stage startups until the team grows, though we are dedicated to keep that the exception.

As a founding engineer, you'll grow with the company with hands-on training and a career path that expands as we do. Early joiners also receive a larger ESOP allocation, so you share directly in what we build together.

Our workplace ethos

As a small hardware team, we build, test and learn side by side. Our roles are based at our offices in the Porto area, with no fully remote opportunity. We trust each one of us to own their work, and we value our impact in the lab and on the robots.

Our commitment is to offer fair and equal conditions to everyone who joins us, applying the same principles across all roles.

·      We follow an outcome-first culture, measured through tangible results and impact

·      Our working language is English, written and spoken proficiency is required

·      These roles we require 80-100% work on-site, with laboratory work depending on the stage of development

At Bumatic, we are bonded by our shared passion to use robotics and technology for the benefit of humanity, starting with the EU and expanding everywhere it is needed across the world. We need people who are not only passionate about technology, startups, or the built environment, but also believe in solving valuable problems and have a positive impact to help make the world a better place.

We're building a successful, impact-driven business for the long haul, and we intend to have fun doing it. If that sounds like you, let's talk.
