Esencia Foods makes a true and natural alternative to meat from mycelium solid state fermentation. As a venture-backed business, we are pioneering this approach.
Our mission 🐠 is to foster the world’s transition to a sustainable food system- without asking consumers to compromise on taste, texture, or price.
Our planet 🌎 cannot sustain our current food system; therefore, we believe in producing exceptional alternative products to remove the current strain on our environment and ensure food security for our future ever-growing population.
We are looking for a New Product Developer / Food Scientist to lead the food development of our new protein bases and meat alternatives based on mycelium fermentation.
This is your opportunity to have an impact on our planet and experience a startup in its earliest days.
We are looking for a hands-on person with experience in building food products.
We are not looking for quality control, safety control, and nutrition-related experience.

- Research and develop new food technologies to establish product building blocks including texture interactions and flavor
- Support the development of new ideas, new processes, and procedures as the company grows
- Design feedback mechanisms, evaluate and continuously improve our products based on real world data
- Develop in close collaboration with B2B customers
- You will work in strong interaction together with Mycologists and Microbiologists to adapt the technology to make the best product
- Be able to think critically, manage your time effectively and be flexible to support cross-functional projects and help the company meet its goals

BSc or MSc in Food Science, Food Technology, or a related field with relevant experience
Experience in food product development (development of alternative protein solutions is highly desired)
Experience in the formulation and application development using lab equipment
Strategic and analytical thinker, able to improve internal competencies and technologies to reach company goals
Excellent written and verbal skills in English
You will work in a cross-disciplinary RnD team with food technologists, biotechnologists, microbiologists at a cutting-edge technology.
Trans-disciplinarity at its peak: we believe invention only happens when you connect dots that are seemingly far apart.
A high-impact, ambitious startup environment with the ability to learn and grow alongside the company
The opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology and make a true impact on the environment and our food system
A fun, flexible, and rewarding environment where you can have the ability to thrive as a person
