At Vow, we are on a mission to feed the world by creating cultured meat that is as good for the planet as it is for your tastebuds. We merge cutting-edge science, engineering, and culinary design to craft nutritious, delicious products that meat lovers can enjoy without compromise. Since our start in 2019, we have pushed boundaries as the first startup to cultivate meat from undomesticated animal cells and successfully launched our Forged brand in top-tier restaurants. We are looking for passionate individuals to join our mission-led team as we continue to innovate and grow.
About the Role
We are seeking a Food Development Technician to join our Product Development team on a full-time basis. This is a hands-on position based in our culinary centre where you will help transform our cultivated ingredients into finished products with superior texture and flavor. You will play a vital role in running food experiments, preparing prototypes, and supporting the broader R&D efforts to bring sustainable, high-quality meat products to market.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare ingredients, formulations, and equipment setups to ensure the seamless creation of food prototypes.
- Maintain accurate, timely records of all experimental methodologies and outcomes to support data-driven decision-making.
- Plan and execute recipe experiments while interpreting data to understand how specific ingredients and techniques impact the final product.
Requirements
We are looking for someone who is eager to learn, meticulous, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. You should have a genuine passion for food science and recipe development, along with the ability to distinguish flavors, odors, and colors. While a bachelor’s degree in Food Science, Nutrition, Biochemistry, or a related field is preferred, we highly value candidates with prior experience in professional kitchens or food technology roles. A hacker mentality and the ability to work autonomously are key traits we look for in our team members.
Location
This position is on-site in Australia.
Compensation and Benefits
You will have the opportunity to work with a world-class team of scientists and innovators at a well-funded, high-growth biotech startup. We pride ourselves on building a diverse, inclusive culture where you are encouraged to be yourself and contribute your unique perspective to our mission.
