ABOUT US

Eat Just is on a mission to build a healthier, safer, and more sustainable food system. Our team of scientists, chefs, and product developers created Just Egg—the fastest-growing egg brand in America, made entirely from plants—and we’re just getting started. We’re seeking a Food Scientist to help us improve, expand, and scale the Just Egg product line and bring our next generation of products to life.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a hands-on, solutions-oriented Food Scientist with a deep curiosity for plant-based systems and a knack for translating benchtop formulations into scalable, high-quality products. This role is equal parts product development and commercialization, working across R&D, Operations, and external partners to support both current and future Just Egg products. A key part of this role includes managing technical aspects of our co-manufacturing relationships—ensuring our products deliver the same quality at scale as they do in the lab.

• Collaborate with Quality, Regulatory, and Operations teams to ensure product formulations meet compliance, labeling, and manufacturing standards
• Act as the technical point of contact for co-manufacturers—supporting trial execution, troubleshooting scale-up challenges, and ensuring product quality across facilities
• Analyze production data, lab results, and consumer feedback to drive continuous improvement
• Maintain accurate records of formulations, test plans, and findings
• Support product launches and innovation initiatives in partnership with cross-functional teams
• Travel to co-manufacturing sites (as needed) to provide on-the-ground technical guidance
