Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Vow Full time
{"title": "Food Development Technician", "description": "About Vow

We're a cultured meat company on a mission to create food that's good for your tastebuds, your health, and your planet.

We're bringing together cutting-edge innovations in science, engineering, culinary, and design to create new meats that meat lovers can choose selfishly because it's nutritious and delicious, and we're doing so in a sustainable way.

The Role

We're looking for a skilled technician to join our Product Development team at Vow, starting as a three-month contractor but with the potential for extension or to convert to a permanent position.

This role will be hands-on in our culinary centre and is focused on helping us efficiently and thoughtfully run food 'experiments' that contribute to our broader business goals around launching delicious, sustainable products.

You may help with preparing prototypes that incorporate new ingredients or ways of creating texture, support with recipe development for new and existing products, and be a 'jack of all trades' to help support any additional food-related activities in our culinary centre which require an extra, capable set of hands.

What We're Looking For
  • A genuine passion for food, which could range from learning about how food works to creating your own recipes.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, and to learn quickly. You aren't afraid of asking questions.
  • An ability to distinguish flavours, odours, and colours (or willingness to be trained on this).
  • A general understanding of food application and recipe development.
  • Success in a prior role that required hands-on, day-to-day execution of tasks. You know what it means to bring attention to detail and focus on something day in and out.
  • A bachelor's degree in Food Science, Nutrition, Materials Science, Biochemistry, or a related discipline. Not required though, especially if you have prior food tech and/or chef experience.
What You'll Do
  • Prepare ingredients, formulations, and equipment setups to ensure seamless preparation of food/product prototypes for you and the team.
  • Maintain comprehensive, timely, and accurate records of experimental methodologies and outcomes.
  • Plan, review, and execute experiments (i.e. recipes), and interpret and share this data with your wider team. This will include understanding the impact of particular ingredients and processing techniques on the final product, and the ability to make ingredient substitutions.
  • Be involved with basic experimental troubleshooting.
  • Assisting with work in the pilot plant and production facilities, as needed.
  • General culinary lab upkeep, cleaning, and maintenance tasks as required.
  • Work closely with the larger R&D team at Vow to ensure that your research is aligned with the broader research direction and mission.
Why Join Vow?
  • We're building a diverse, mission-led dream team of 'Vowzers.' Our mission is to make food products for everyone. To do that well, we need a workforce that's representative of the people we serve. We celebrate multiple approaches and points of view - so we're building a culture to match. Be yourself and come as you are.
  • Work on cutting-edge technology. We're bringing together cutting-edge innovations in science, engineering, and food, to recreate the world's most tantalising and unique culinary experiences. All without compromising on ethics or our planet along the way.
  • Work with and learn from the best. Our team includes some of the world's top scientists, innovators, operators, and creatives with decades of industry experience. We see the impossible as temporary and strive to learn and support our company and fellow Vowzers' growth as much as possible.
  • We're fully funded and ready to go. We are a growing Aussie biotech start-up.
