  • Ensure all products meet food safety regulations.
  • Maintain a clean and organized laboratory environment.
  • Sensory Evaluation:
  • Conduct sensory evaluations to assess product flavor, texture, and appearance.
  • Analyze consumer feedback and preferences.
  • Perform laboratory experiments, including physical property measurements.

What you’ll bring:

  • Minimum 2+ industry experience in the food science field.
  • A strong curiosity and desire to discover the latest food technologies that can enable the design of high-protein, low-calorie, blood-sugar-friendly foods that taste delicious.
  • A desire to challenge traditional methods and experiment.
  • High IQ/intellectual horsepower and accuracy.
  • A self-starting attitude with a love for executing on ideas and moving quickly.
  • Humble, self-aware, and curious.

  • The ability to operate independently while clearly communicating your priorities and initiatives to the rest of the team.

Practicalities:

  • This is a full-time, in-office role based in New York City. We work onsite five days a week — when the culture fits, it is fun to be in the office together. 
  • Salary: $90 - $120K per year, inclusive of cash bonus based on attainment of company targets. 
  • Company equity opportunity on top of cash compensation.
  • 100% covered Health, Vision, Dental Insurance.
  • 401(k) with 4% match.
