Food Science & Production Associate

We’re looking for someone who loves understanding how food works - the science behind flavour, texture, shelf life, and doing actual food production. If you enjoy turning ideas into structured, repeatable food systems, you’ll feel right at home here.

You will help develop, test, document, and optimise recipes and production systems across gelato, bakery, and dessert components. Alongside food science, you will also be actively involved in day-to-day production, helping ensure products are made consistently and to the GOAT standards.

Responsibilities - 

• Assist in developing and testing new gelato flavours, desserts and bakery components
• Conduct ingredient functionality and market feasibility studies to determine the best combinations for texture, flavour, and stability.
• Participate in day-to-day production across product components to ensure consistency and high-quality output
• Help analyse ingredient functionality such as sugars, fats, stabilisers, and emulsifiers
• Support the product team in troubleshooting production issues and improving product consistency
• Convert recipes into clear, repeatable SOPs and maintain product documentation
• Conduct shelf-life studies to assess and optimize product longevity, storage requirements, and freshness
• Use sensory analysis techniques to evaluate taste, texture, aroma, and appearance, ensuring products meet premium standards
• Source and test innovative ingredients that align with G.O.A.T.’s commitment to luxury and sustainability
• Help track production data, recipe adjustments, and product trials
• Establish and enforce robust food safety protocols, adhering to all regulatory and certification standards
• Contribute ideas for improving existing products or creating new indulgent experiences

Requirements - 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Food Science, Food Technology, or a related field. Specialization in confectionery or desserts is a bonus
• 1–2 years in food product development, R&D, or a similar technical role in the food industry (Fresh grads from top culinary institutions welcome - if you’ve got the passion, we’ve got the platform)
• Proficiency in sensory evaluation techniques and flavor profiling
• Strong understanding of ingredient functionality (e.g., emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners)
• Knowledge in nutritional analysis and regulatory compliance (e.g., labeling requirements, ingredient declarations)
• Familiarity with shelf-life testing methodologies, including microbial analysis and stability studies
• Ability to independently conduct research on emerging food trends and scientific advancements
• Data analysis and interpretation skills
• You appreciate startup culture and the opportunity to wear many hats and take on different roles
• You’ll need to bring your own device
• We work 6 days a week
• This is a hands-on role - expect to create, experiment, and learn by doing

We build indulgent experiences powered by real ingredients, thoughtful technique, and obsessive attention to detail. If you believe that great desserts are built with equal parts instinct, science, and curiosity. Apply now!
