Careers

Build the sweetness people actually want.

We are a small team working on a specific, difficult problem: helping food and beverage companies cut sugar without losing the taste that makes a product worth buying.

Open roles

Roles we’re hiring for right now.

One focused problem, a small team, and a short path from an idea to trying it. If you do not see your exact role, tell us what you would want to build here.

What we look for

Curious, rigorous, customer-obsessed.

A sweet protein is only useful if customers can actually formulate with it, so applications and technical support sit at the center of this company, not at the edge.

1
Food science & applications

Taste chemistry, sweetener systems and formulation work across beverages, dairy, bakery and nutrition.

2
Technical & quality

The documentation, testing and quality practices that make batch-to-batch consistency real for a QA reviewer.

3
Commercial & technical sales

People who can hold a formulation conversation and a cost-in-use conversation in the same meeting.

Why this work is unusual

Sweet-protein work, close to the customer.

Plenty of companies market an ingredient from a distance. Here, the sweet protein and the formulators who use it are never far apart, so the work you do shows up on a real bench and in a real product.

Depth Real sweet-protein science

You work on how the sweet protein behaves in real recipes, across heat, pH and different sweetener systems, not on a slide about it.

Customer-facing You meet the formulators who use it

Applications work here is not a support function. It is how the product gets designed and how the company learns.

Impact Small team, real problem

A single, focused problem and a short path from an idea to trying it, so what you work on actually ships.

How we hire

Short, honest, and no trick questions.

Step 1
Intro conversation What you have worked on, and what you want to work on next.
Step 2
A real problem We talk through an actual formulation or process problem, not a puzzle.
Step 3
Meet the team The people you would work with day to day, including the ones who will disagree with you.
Step 4
Offer Clear scope, clear expectations, and an honest picture of the stage we are at.
Open application Tell us what you would want to build here.

We read every note. A short paragraph about the problem you want to work on is worth more to us than a formatted CV.
