    About KULT FARM

    KULT FARM makes a true and natural new whole food from mycelium solid state fermentation. As a venture-backed business, we are pioneering this approach.

    Our mission 🐠 is to foster the world’s transition to a sustainable food system- without asking consumers to compromise on taste, texture, or price.

    Our planet 🌎 cannot sustain our current food system; therefore, we believe in producing exceptional alternative products to remove the current strain on our environment and ensure food security for our future ever-growing population.

    Kult Farm is a foodtech startup in Barcelona developing novel plant-based protein ingredients through solid-state fermentation. The company is focused on building scalable and sustainable processes for next-generation protein alternatives.

    This is your opportunity to have an impact on our planet and experience a startup in its earliest days.

    Role and Responsibilities ****🔨

The selected candidate will work closely with the R&D team to translate lab protocols into robust pilot-scale processes and contribute to product and process development.

    • Support experimental planning and execution for solid-state fermentation scaling trials.
    • Prepare substrates, inocula and fermentation runs following SOPs and good laboratory practices.
    • Monitor and record process parameters such as temperature, humidity and time.
    • Assist with sample handling and basic downstream processing.
    • Contribute to data analysis, reporting and technical documentation.

    Preferred qualifications:

    • Experience with fermentation is desirable.
    • Experience with process scaling is also desirable.

    Why join? 🚀

    • You will work in a cross-disciplinary Production team with food technologists, biotechnologists, microbiologists at a cutting-edge technology.
    • Trans-disciplinarity at its peak: we believe invention only happens when you connect dots that are seemingly far apart.
    • A high-impact, ambitious startup environment with the ability to learn and grow alongside the company
    • The opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology and make a true impact on the environment and our food system
    • A fun, flexible, and rewarding environment where you can have the ability to thrive as a person
