## Job description

## Who we are

CloudKitchens helps restaurateurs around the world succeed in online food delivery - our goal is to make food more affordable, higher quality and convenient for everyone.

We take underutilized properties and transform them into smart kitchens so they can better serve restaurateurs, customers and the neighborhoods they’re in. Every time we launch a new facility we create jobs in that neighborhood, and we’re proud to provide a wide range of cuisines and options for healthy food at an affordable price.

We're changing the game for restaurateurs whether they’re entrepreneurs opening their first restaurant all the way through to your favorite global quick-service restaurant chains.

## About the role

We are looking for a Building Design Associate with 4–6 years of relevant experience to join our team onsite in Jakarta, Indonesia. In this role, you will contribute to the design and development of building projects, taking ownership of assigned design tasks across interior and architectural disciplines from concept through schematic design, design development, and construction documentation.

## What you’ll do

- Develop test fits, space plans, and schematic design layouts.
- Develop interior design schemes, material palettes, and finish selections.
- Develop architectural and interior technical details for interior and exterior components.
- Research local codes and standards and incorporate compliance requirements into design development.
- Coordinate architectural and interior layouts with MEP/FP and structural engineering strategies.
- Perform QA/QC reviews of internal drawing packages for accuracy, consistency, and completeness.
- Coordinate with consultants, resolve design discrepancies, and review milestone deliverables.

## What we’re looking for

- 4–6 years of relevant professional experience in architectural or interior design, preferably in hospitality, F&B, renovation, or adaptive reuse.
- Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, Interior Design, or a related field.
- Experience across multiple project phases, from concept design through construction documentation.
- Proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, and Adobe Creative Suite.
- Strong space-planning skills and the ability to develop functional, well-coordinated design solutions.
- Strong architectural representation, drafting, technical detailing, and design coordination skills.

## Why join us

- Demand for online food delivery is growing really fast! In the last 5 years, just in the US, the overall market has expanded 10X from $10B to $100B, and could expand to $500bn- $1T by 2030.
- Changing the restaurant industry: You’ll be part of a team that helps restaurants succeed in online food delivery.
- Collaborative environment: You will receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues and managers, helping you to learn, grow and achieve your goals, and you’ll work closely with other teams to ensure our customer’s success.

What else you need to know

This role is based in our Jakarta office location. As a company driven by innovation and continuous change, close collaboration is essential. We’re constantly reimagining our industry, creating new products, and refining our processes, and we do our best work together. That’s why all of our office-based teams work onsite, five days a week.

Ready to join us as we serve those who serve others?
