We're building the infrastructure to take fossil fuels out of industrial heat. It's ambitious. It's hard. And there's a seat for people who want to help build it.

This isn't just a job - it's a chance to help solve one of the hardest problems in industrial decarbonization.

We build on care, determination, and enthusiasm - not as slogans, but because solving hard problems together requires all three.

Our Values 

Care

We put people first - we listen, we share ideas without fear, and we support each other when things get hard. We're mindful of our impact, on people and on the planet, and we hold ourselves to that even when it's not the easy choice.

Determination

We don't settle for "no." When something looks impossible, we look for the next way through - one step at a time. We believe an honest attempt is already half the win.

Enthusiasm

We show up with real passion for the problem we're solving, not just the results. We stay open to ideas, celebrate what works, and genuinely believe a decarbonized industry is possible - and worth building.

OUR MISSION

Empower industries
with renewable thermal energy

 

OUR VISION

A world powered by Nature

 

Our culture

Kyoto exists to help industries move off fossil fuels and onto renewable thermal energy - a real, unresolved problem in the energy transition, and one we're working to solve at scale.

We're a small, international team, which means the people around you come from different backgrounds and disciplines by nature, not by policy. Everyone here has a direct line to the mission - there's no layer of hierarchy between what you do and why it matters.

That only works if you're motivated by the outcome, not just the job description - if you want your work to be visible and consequential, and you're drawn to building something rather than maintaining something already finished. If that sounds like you, keep reading: below is what that looks like day to day, and how our hiring process works.

How to apply and what to expect during recruitment

 4 Step Hiring Process

Kyoto Group's recruitment process is designed to attract top candidates,
starting with identifying the role and defining the position.

  • Step 1

    Initial screening

  • Step 2

    Meet the hiring manager

  • Step 3

    In-person interview & case study

  • Step 4

    Final leadership interview & reference check

Joining Kyoto

We're a startup in scale-up phase, building something ambitious in the energy transition. That means the work is real, the pace is fast, and the path isn't always mapped out in advance.

What that actually looks like

You'll be hands-on. This isn't a place where strategy and execution live in different departments. If something needs doing, you're close enough to do it or shape how it gets done.

You'll need a mindset built for change. What's true about Kyoto today won't be entirely true in six months. We're not looking for people who need the ground to hold still.

You'll make decisions before all the facts are in. Waiting for certainty is a luxury we can't always afford - staying agile is how we stay competitive. We need people who can move with incomplete information and adjust as they learn more.

Why it's worth it

We're a small team, which means what you do matters - visibly, immediately, and often permanently. There's only one of you here. You'll leave a mark on how Kyoto works, not just on your own results.

Growth here isn't a line item in a training budget. It's the job you'll be doing in 18 months that doesn't exist yet - because you grew into it, or because you saw it needed to exist and built it.

We're a crew of dedicated professionals who trust each other, learn fast, and back each other up when things get hard - because they will, sometimes. If that sounds like the kind of challenge you want, not the kind you're trying to avoid, we'd like to meet you.
