What You'll Do

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable backend services

  • You care deeply about code quality, security, and long-term maintainability.

  • You enjoy working in small, agile teams where every contribution matters.


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
