KAIKAKU Culture

We at KAIKAKU are transforming the restaurant industry, through a fully vertically integrated approach covering hardware, software and AI. We are firm believers in:

  • Getting into the trenches with the tech you make. You are the user tester, customer success team, support staff, maintenance and technician.
  • The power of generalists. We are not yet interested in specialisations. You must have broad interests in your area of engineering.
  • Motivation through execution. You should thrive when you progress, not when you get to work on 'fun stuff'.
  • Rapid iteration. Not just buzzwords, but actually deploying and testing hardware changes on an hourly rate, through 3DP.
  • No future-proofing. You will be
    expected
    to ship products that are missing features and do not work, and then fix them in production. If you are not ashamed of your work, you have shipped too late.
  • Creating products for the customer
    only
    . We are not interested in making 'cool' or 'gimmicky' robots. We want to make the most effective, impressive, focused and useful tech in this space.

Please only apply if
all
of the above sounds right to you.
No experience requirements - we are more interested in ability to execute, than a long CV.
Your role will be in person, based in Hoxton, London.
