⭐️ About us
The Bland Company is a foodtech and biotech startup on a mission to make sustainable eating easy, affordable, and accessible for everyone.
We develop high-performance protein ingredients by transforming overlooked agricultural by-products into highly functional, clean-label proteins — enabling food companies to create more sustainable, better-performing, and cost-effective products.
We’re a team of 6 and are backed by US leading VC funds. Our founders are biochemists and biochemical engineers with track-record of developing next-gen food.
The Role
We’re looking for a hands-on, creative, and technically sharp Food Application Scientist to join our growing team. You’ll be the bridge between our ingredient innovation and the foods they go into — rapidly prototyping, testing, and iterating on formulations to showcase and improve our products.
This is a full-time role combining applied culinary skills, food science, and ingredient functionality testing — perfect for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments.
You’ll also work closely with our founding team to identify the most valuable food categories to go after — running early formulations for strategic client use-cases, and supporting pilots with partners.
Key Responsibilities:
• Develop ingredient characterization data (e.g. solubility, emulsification, foaming, gelation) and translate into practical formulation insights
• Develop and optimize food formulations using our novel protein ingredients across a range of applications (e.g. bakery, snacks, condiments, etc.)
• Work directly on formulations for client-targeted use cases — helping validate functionality in real-world scenarios
• Rapidly prototype and iterate on recipes based on functional goals
• Conduct bench-scale trials and sensory testing; help design experiments to compare against commercial benchmarks
• Help prioritize and identify the highest-potential food categories to target based on formulation performance and market fit
• Maintain detailed records of formulations, results, and observations; contribute to technical data sheets and customer-facing documentation
• Collaborate closely with our scientists and founders to give feedback on ingredient development and usability
Requirements:
• 5+ years of relevant industry experience in food ingredient characterisation and formulation development, especially working with proteins, hydrocolloids, or emulsifiers
• Degree in Food Science, Food Chemistry, Culinary Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience in R&D kitchens or labs)
• Strong understanding of food systems and ingredient functionality
• Skilled in rapid prototyping and creative problem-solving
• Comfort with both the scientific and culinary aspects of R&D — you can handle a pH meter and a spatula equally well
• Bonus: experience with alternative proteins, clean label formulation, or upcycled ingredients
• Bonus: exposure to B2B ingredient applications or working with food manufacturing clients
• Bonus: formulation experience in bakery sector
• Mumbai-based & Full-Time
What You’ll Get:
• A front-row seat in building the next generation of sustainable ingredients
• Access to global network of advisors and collaborators
• Fast learning, high ownership, and the chance to see your work in products that hit the market
• Competitive compensation
