We’re hiring our founding team at iconic works.
Roles
Assembling the right team matters more than matching a role line by line. So treat the profiles below as guidelines, not strict requirements. If you're an exceptional engineer and want to build with us, get in touch
Built by experienced founders
After scaling Meatable and PublicSonar, we (Krijn and Richard) teamed up to build something even more audacious—combining our backgrounds in AI, security, energy, and large-scale projects. We’re obsessed with solving the real, messy problems behind capital project delivery. This isn’t our first time around, and we’re building iconic works with the kind of clarity, urgency, and care that only comes from having done it before.
What you’re signing up for
We default to being in the room.
We’re not remote-first. Not five days a week, not performative office time—but the default is in person (in Amsterdam). That’s how trust gets built, how ideas sharpen fast, and how we move as one team.
Everyone is forward deployed.
We spend time with users—directly. It’s not something we outsource. Whether you’re building backend, shaping product, or driving operations, you’re close to the problem. We want to live in the client's world.
We’re here to win.
We’re building the winner in this space, and that matters to us. We’re looking for people who are genuinely all-in—on the mission and on the outcome.
We own it—and we care about the craft.
We don’t track hours. We care about what gets built—and how good it is. Whether you’re writing infra, designing a dashboard, or running an internal process, the work should make you proud. This is your craft. You have to love it.
We debate hard and stay kind.
We speak up. We challenge ideas. Friction is part of the work—especially when it comes to building great product. We keep it constructive, no ego—but we don’t water it down either. That’s how a good idea becomes a great one.
Smart, structured, and hands-on.
We like first-principles thinkers who can go deep fast. People who think in systems, and know when to zoom out and when to roll up their sleeves. If you care about getting it right, and you don’t need a playbook—you’ll fit right in.
Why join us now
A mission that matters
We’re building software for the physical world—energy, infrastructure, defense. These are the systems that shape economies and societies. If we do our job right, more of these get built, faster and with less waste. That’s more clean energy, better transport, safer countries. This work is real.
A moment of leverage
We’re well funded and moving fast. These aren’t edge-case roles—they’re foundational. The people who join now will shape the product, the architecture, and the culture. You won’t be “early hire #17.” You’ll be the team.
A team that wants to win (and build)
We’re ambitious. This will be intense. We take the work seriously, not ourselves. You’ll have real ownership—and real responsibility. If you want to go deep, move fast, and build something lasting—this is it.
Real upside
We’re going after a big, underserved space. The value we create will be real and long-term. Early team members will have meaningful equity—and ample opportunity to scale as we grow.
