We're hiring
Help us modernize
utility billing for
everyone.
Alaka’i is an early-stage startup rebuilding utility billing from the ground up. We’re looking for people who want real ownership, direct access to leadership, and the chance to shape both the product and the culture from day one.
On a quest
Utility billing is stuck in the past. We’re changing that.
Billing for utilities — water, power, gas, waste — still runs on decades-old systems, manual processes, and spreadsheets. The companies that manage it deserve modern, reliable software, and the people who use it deserve clarity. We’re building the platform that makes utility billing fast, accurate, and humane — and we’re doing it with a small team that moves quickly and owns outcomes end to end.
How we think and work
- 01
Have fun
We take the work seriously, not ourselves. Fun is part of how we operate.
- 02
Stay curious
We’re AI-aware and forward-thinking. We learn fast and question defaults.
- 03
Be human
Approachable, direct, and honest. We say it as it is and assume good intent.
- 04
Own the outcome
High autonomy means high ownership. You ship, you own it, end to end.
- 05
Ship and iterate
Launch quickly, learn from real use, and improve. Done beats perfect.
- 06
Build to last
Put care into the foundation. Don’t make it a future person’s problem.
- 07
Do more with less
Small team, big impact. Wear multiple hats and keep process light.
- 08
Make an impact
We’re early enough that your work shapes the product, the culture, and the company.
What we’re building
A modern platform for utility billing operations.
Our software handles accounts, payments, submetering, and utility expense management — the operational backbone our customers rely on every day. The product supports the mission; the mission is the people building it.
