Product Owner Intern

🤖 About Li.fizz Robotics

Li.fizz Robotics is a startup automating commercial kitchens with cloud robotics technology. Since founding in June 2022 we have validated product-market fit, closed our Pre-A round, and are now scaling at a steep pace.

We build proprietary robots and a cloud platform for restaurant owners. Starting with cocktail and highball mixing robots, we are expanding our lineup to frying and cooking robots — all connected through a single cloud system. We design and develop our proprietary PCB Stator motors, firmware, and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models in-house, growing into a full-stack robotics company.

Our goal is not to sell a single robot. It is to automate over 90% of kitchen operations and build a cloud robotics ecosystem that maximizes operational efficiency for restaurant owners.

We currently partner with about 1,400 stores nationwide, and the number is still growing. Last year alone we recorded over 1,700% annual growth, and in 2025 we were recognized externally with finalist placement at the K-Startup Grand Tournament, Grand Prize at the Lotte Shin Kyuk-ho Entrepreneurship Competition, Grand Prize at the Hanyang University Venture Startup Competition, and TIPS selection — alongside our Pre-A funding round.

In 2026 we begin our global expansion, starting with the U.S. and Singapore. We are looking for teammates to build the future of the kitchen with us.
