Who we hire
We hire people who take on the gray areas: work no one has defined yet, carried all the way until it runs.
We look for people who take on undefined work first and turn it into a system, who do not treat it as someone else's problem, who stay kind to colleagues under tight deadlines, and who see fast change as a chance to grow.

Gray areas into systems

Ownership
You do not treat it as someone else's problem. If the organization's goals need it, you jump in first and deliver results.
- 03
Kind under pressure
Even amid high technical difficulty and tight schedules, you stay kind to colleagues and push each other to do better.

Change as fuel
You see the fast-changing AI landscape as a chance to grow, not a crisis, and you keep learning.

Inside KDL
In the team's own words.
At first it felt unfamiliar that plans change every day and the culture starts with experiments without a single right answer. But once you get used to it, you become far more flexible. The whole team checks every day: “Are we heading in the right direction?” So even when we fail, the anxiety is not big, and we recover quickly.
The situation of heavy workload and fast movement keeps repeating, but it is not simply exhausting. You set your own priorities and make judgments without anyone having to tell you to.
At first I only had the feeling that I just had to do well. But this team always asks for our thinking and makes sure that thinking actually shows up in the projects. So I feel that “I am changing something.”
It is quickly clear that we are the front-line team in OCR and Parsing. There is almost no outside information to refer to. There are frustrating and bleak moments, but we keep running with the responsibility and pride of being the leading group.

Before you apply
What we'd rather say up front.
How are overtime and work intensity?
Because we pursue challenging goals in the fast-changing AI industry, job focus is high, and overtime and early starts are normal here. We also value work-life balance, but for now there is a gap between it and the work environment we are pursuing. Please apply knowing this.
Is there a probation period?
Every crew member goes through a three-month probation period. It is a time for us to check together whether the way of working you described during hiring is truly a match. Pay and benefits are fully provided during probation too.
What do you look at for the final hiring decision?
We have no fixed talent profile or spec criteria. We do not consider academic background, but we do verify knowledge and ability in the field, and we look at your portfolio before your résumé. We value real experience of putting growth into practice and your internal motivation.
Can I reapply, or apply for more than one role?
You can reapply for the same role six months after the final result notice. Applying to more than one role is allowed, and if a better-fitting position exists, we may suggest it to you during the interview.
I don't see the role I want.
The position you want may be closed for now. If you send your résumé first through the Talent Pool on the application form, we will review it first and contact you when a relevant position opens.
