How to Apply for Senior Food Scientist
at EVERY™
🏢 About EVERY™
EVERY™ is a food technology company focused on creating animal-free egg proteins through precision fermentation, positioning itself at the forefront of sustainable food innovation. Working here means contributing to cutting-edge solutions that replace traditional animal agriculture, appealing to mission-driven professionals who want to impact the future of food.
About This Role
This Senior Food Scientist role specifically owns the bakery category strategy, requiring you to develop and optimize product portfolios that replace egg white in baked goods and confections. You'll bridge technical R&D with commercial applications by creating 'sell-in ready' recommendations and directly supporting customers with formulations, making this role critical for scaling EVERY's market adoption.
💡 A Day in the Life
You might start by analyzing bakery formulation data, then meet with the sales team to discuss customer needs, followed by lab time testing new applications for EVERY's ingredients. Later, you could prepare technical presentations for a potential bakery partner and refine portfolio recommendations based on market feedback.
🚀 Application Tools
