Why Kanpla

At Kanpla, we’re shaping the future of canteens through innovation. We empower our team to take ownership, stay curious, and make a positive impact.

We focus on results, not where or when you work. While we’re a remote-first company, we have offices in Aarhus, Copenhagen and London. We host two company gatherings a year—one off-site, one on-site.

You’ll join a high-talent team and enjoy a competitive salary.

Commitment to Diversity

We believe that diversity fuels innovation. At Kanpla, we’re committed to building an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome. We celebrate all backgrounds, cultures, and experiences.

How to Apply

Our hiring process consists of 3 steps: initial conversation, a technical interview based on a take-home code challenge and a final cultural fit talk.

The application deadline is November 3rd.
