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.
- 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’ tech. We want to make the most effective, impressive, focused and useful tech in this space.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
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.
