Are you passionate about all things food and culinary science? Does being a part of a team that's just as obsessed with flavor and food safety as you are sound like your dream come true? Then our Food Technologist role might be just right for you!

Think of this role as a modern-day mad scientist's lab (and by "mad," we mean rad, of course!), but instead of working alone, you're working together, as a team-because Juntos es Mejor! You'll conduct lab tests and sensory panels, help develop new products, guarantee our current products remain in tip-top shape, and ensure smooth scalability from point A to point Z. With your eye for detail and can-do attitude, you'll join our familia in sharing delicious, heritage-inspired foods with more people every day. Sound right up your alley? We'd love to hear from you!

About you:
    • You've got a gift for saying exactly what needs to be said when it needs to be said. Whether you're leading a meeting, presenting complex data, or chatting with a colleague, people describe your communication as "clear" and "effective."
    • When it comes to managing multiple projects, you're like a professional juggler-except instead of clubs or balls, you're juggling deadlines, team meetings, managing panels, and more.
    • You always say, "It's the little things that make the big picture." And you mean it! An eye for detail is something you pride yourself on, and you never miss a thing.
    • Like the Dewey Decimal System or Marie Kondo, your organizational skills are top-tier. Even your to-do lists have to-do lists!
    • You're a foodie, but not just a regular foodie-an experienced, technical, qualified, highly astute, aaaaand super cool foodie!

What you will do:
    • Aid in the creation of benchtop samples needed for sales presentations, ingredient qualifications, and internal evaluations.
    • Support the lab and analytical testing of current products for innovation and renovation projects.
    • Assist the Sensory Team in preparation of samples and data analysis.
    • Assist the packaging engineering team evaluating current and potential primary and secondary packaging materials.
    • Support the Innovation and Renovation initiatives of the company to help create new products and renovate existing ones, as needed.
    • Contribute technical expertise and knowledge to guide and accelerate the development and reformulation of new and current products.
    • Assist in the scalability of new products from benchtop to full scale production.
    • Travel an average of 15% of the time.

Your experience:
    • Bachelor's Degree in Food Science, Culinary Science, Food Engineering or equivalent food/beverage in CPG experience is required
    • Proficiency with Excel or Google Docs is preferred
    • Previous experience with food labeling software such as Genesis is preferred
    • 1+ years working in Food Technology or Food Science is preferred
