Joiha Studio, Sai Gon
Work with us

Most of the work here is done with your hands.

We are a workshop, not an office. Resin gets mixed, poured, sanded and painted in this building every day, and we are short of people at four benches.

Ten seats open

A role only appears here while we actually need someone for it, and the number next to it is the number of people we are looking for. Open one to read what the day looks like.

Character artist

2 needed

You sculpt the master that every copy of a keycap is cast from. The finished object is about 18 millimetres across, so this is closer to miniature sculpture than to product design.

  • Sculpt by hand or in 3D, then take the piece through to a master a mould can be cast from.
  • Know what a silicone mould will and will not hold, and design around it.
  • Sit with the casting bench, because the first pour always changes the sculpt.

Send pictures of things you have made. We look at what your hands can do.

Workshop maker

5 needed

The bench work, and the largest part of what this company is. Resin mixed and poured in thin layers, inlays placed one at a time, pieces demoulded, trimmed and assembled.

  • Close, slow work with your hands, for most of the day.
  • A steady hand and patience matter more here than a diploma.
  • Say so when a batch is going wrong. Catching it early saves the whole run.

If you have made anything by hand, bring a photo of it, whatever it was.

Polisher

2 needed

Sanding through the grits and polishing resin back to clear. The last pair of hands a piece passes through, and the ones that decide whether it is finished.

  • Work through grits without flattening a detail that took somebody a week to sculpt.
  • Judge the surface under a real light, not under the bench lamp.
  • A piece that is not right does not go in a box, and that call is yours.

Customer support

1 needed

Answering the people who bought from us: where an order is, what fits what, what went wrong in the box. Written English, every working day.

  • Email and chat, for the Jelly Key and Jelly Smith shops.
  • Follow an order through packing and shipping until it lands.
  • Tell the workshop when the same complaint arrives twice.
