ko-br

ko-br is a deep tech startup at the crossroads of AI, robotics, and human-machine interaction. We are building the AI brains that make robots truly adaptable, starting with depalletizing mixed boxes in dynamic warehouses. Our mission is to reverse the relationship between humans and machines: instead of forcing humans to conform to rigid industrial demands, we aim to create systems that learn from human behavior and adapt to real-world chaos. This is our vision for a future where robots collaborate with humans, each doing what they do best, and humans are respected and compensated for sharing their knowledge.

We were founded by a team from leading technology and logistics companies, and we are committed to Data Dignity—where humans are respected and compensated for teaching machines. While warehouses are our first battlefield, our core mission extends to all forms of work that diminish rather than enhance human potential.

Our physical AI models tackle messy, unstructured problems with real-time adaptation to shifting pallets, mixed SKUs, and unexpected failures. We are a collaborative team that values creativity, agency, and the freedom to design, build, and ship products end-to-end.

We are a remote-first company with offices in Amsterdam, London, and Cairo. We are funded by top VC firms and offer strong base salaries and large equities, following the Paul Graham advice on equity distribution.

We are hiring generalists across design, engineering, research, and business development. If you thrive on agency: designing, building, and shipping products end-to-end, join us. Our manifesto outlines our principles: we stand for humans and machines working together, each doing what they do best. We are building a future where technology amplifies human creativity and freedom. Our collaborative robots (cobots) are transforming warehouses by handling tasks like unloading mixed pallets in dynamic environments. This requires sophisticated AI that can adapt to real-time changes, which is exactly what we’re pioneering at ko-br. We believe in continuous learning and innovation, and we’re looking for passionate individuals who want to make a significant impact in this space. Join our quiet rebellion against conformity and help shape a future where machines adapt to us, not the other way around.
