Other open positions

Real food. Real craft. Real people.

Why work with us?

At Seid and Ilo, we don’t just cook—we craft. Over open flames, with sourdough starters, through seasonal produce and age-old techniques, we let quality speak for itself. But the thing we’re proudest of? Not the plates, but the people behind them.

Here, your skills matter—and so do your ideas. Whether you're grilling the perfect cut at Seid or plating seasonal dishes at Ilo, you're part of a team that values precision, personality, and pride in the process.

We believe in careers, not just shifts. That means room to grow, space to learn, and the support to thrive—whatever “success” looks like to you. Uncompromising in quality. Big on people. If you're into real food, real growth, and real teamwork—you'll fit right in.

Good food starts with good energy.

At Matboden K8, it’s all about the team. Chefs, waiters, bartenders and sommeliers—we work side by side, not in silos. Collaboration isn’t a buzzword here, it’s how the magic happens—every shift, every service.

We believe that when people feel supported, they shine. That’s why we share knowledge, lift each other up, and keep the energy high behind the scenes—because a great vibe in the kitchen is what guests feel in the room.

Matboden K8 is growing, and so can you. Whether you're just starting out, ready to step into more responsibility, or want to go deep into your craft, we’ll help you shape a path that feels right.

Your future in food starts here—with a team that’s got your back.

A city-center workplace with soul

Right between the fjord, the culture, and the pulse of Stavanger, you’ll find us—Seid and Ilo, tucked inside the K8 building. This is more than just a place to work; it’s a space full of energy, pace, and purpose.

Perfection? Not required. But presence, curiosity, and a willingness to show up—that’s what we value. We don’t hire based on looks or fancy résumés; we hire people. Real ones.

Here, you can be yourself. You’ll be part of a team that cares more about your attitude than your titles, and where effort counts just as much as experience. Because when you grow, we grow.

Who are we looking for?

For cooks who care—about food and people

We’re looking for those who love cooking—but leave the burning to the grill. Whether you’re an experienced chef or an apprentice hungry to learn, you’ll find a place to grow with us.

You move with purpose in a fast-paced kitchen. You respect the craft—ingredients, techniques, timing—and bring structure to the chaos. But most importantly, you’re a team player.

Our kitchen runs on trust, precision, and pride. We support each other, challenge each other, and share a passion for doing things right. If you’re detail-oriented, driven, and eager to contribute to something bigger than just a plate—you’ll feel right at home.

For those who love making people feel welcome

We’re looking for warm, switched-on people who enjoy creating great guest experiences. You’re the kind of person who notices the little things, stays cool under pressure, and brings good energy—even when it’s busy.

Experience is a bonus, but attitude is everything. If you’re curious, confident, and eager to learn, we’ll teach you the rest.

Whether you're here for a few shifts or building a path in hospitality, you'll be part of a team that values presence, positivity, and people skills above all.

For the ones who speak fluent wine

We’re looking for someone who lives and breathes wine—not to impress, but to inspire. Whether you’re already a certified sommelier or just diving deep into the world of wine and beverage, we’d love to hear from you.

In this role, you’ll be the go-to expert—shaping the drinks menu, making thoughtful pairings, and guiding guests and colleagues alike. You’re someone who enjoys sharing knowledge in a way that’s welcoming, not intimidating.

If you’re passionate, approachable, and eager to elevate the experience at every table, you’ll fit right in.

Where fire meets flavor, and magic meets craft

Perched high above the city—on the 16th floor of the K8 building—Seid offers sweeping views of Stavanger and the fjord. But it’s not just the view that makes this place special. Inspired by ancient Norse “seid” magic, the restaurant brings together flame, folklore, and raw ingredients in a setting that feels both grounded and otherworldly.

Working at Seid means stepping right into the heart of it all—literally. Our open charcoal and wood grill is the centerpiece of the restaurant, where meat, seafood, and vegetables are cooked live, in front of our guests, over open flames.

We combine craftsmanship with atmosphere, storytelling with precision. The vibe is relaxed but full of pulse—especially in the evenings and weekends, when the lounge music turns up and the energy rises.

When you join Seid, you’ll:

Work in the heart of Stavanger, with culture and city life right outside the door
Be part of a team that values artistry, honesty, and a strong sense of community
Hone your skills in an open, energetic kitchen where fire is more than heat—it’s the soul of the experience
