We are a group of people united by a strong purpose.
We want you to get to know us, and Giuseppe, our very own artificial intelligence.
We love good food, but above all, we love the planet, and that's why, to protect it, we reinvent the food industry, one delicious bite at a time, elevating what we eat, through our technology and based on plants.
Our recipe has three mega-important components: science, technology, and, of course, disruptive talents who work daily to create a better future.

- Scope, propose, and develop new technical solutions or processes that enhance the platform, the formulation workflow, and the customer experience.
- Share knowledge and communicate emerging technologies, best practices, and lessons learned across internal teams.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Bachelor's Degree in Food Science, Biological Sciences, or related field (Master’s preferred).
- 3 + years of hands-on R&D experience in the food industry.
- Demonstrated experience in experimental design, sensory evaluation, and familiarity with food processing equipment.
- Proven experience in a customer-facing or client-engagement role (e.g., training, onboarding, managing customer usage/relationship) — ability to build relationships, understand client business drivers, and drive value.
- Demonstrated ownership of projects with accountability for outcomes.
- Ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional and matrixed teams (regional and global), including R&D, AI/software engineering, product, and customer-success functions.
- Highly logical, detail-oriented, action-driven, adaptable, and comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment (including startup-like context).
