ABOUT EVERYDAY DOSE
Everyday Dose is redefining the daily coffee ritual. Our mushroom + collagen coffee blend helps people feel focused, calm, and energized without the jitters, crashes, or gut issues of traditional coffee. We're a fast-growing functional wellness brand with a loyal DTC customer base, an expanding retail footprint, and an innovation pipeline that's rewriting the rules of what a coffee company can make.
We're building an R&D bench to develop the next generation of functional products and we need someone who is as obsessed with the science of how something works as they are with how it tastes.
THE ROLE
We're hiring a Senior Food Scientist to work directly with the CEO and lead the development of new functional beverage formulations from benchtop through commercialization. This is a science-forward role with full ownership of the formulation work — analytical rigor, sensory methodology, and ingredient functionality are the core of the job, and you'll set the technical direction for how we formulate.
Coffee formulation, sweetener systems, and flavor systems experience is a meaningful differentiator. We work extensively with complex functional stacks layered into coffee systems, and we need someone who understands the sensory, solubility, and stability challenges that come with that.
This role owns formulation end-to-end. Regulatory, co-manufacturer management, and quality assurance are partnered functions — your bench is the center of gravity, not a service desk. As we grow the team, this seat will mentor junior food scientists and lab technicians and define what good looks like across the bench.
A food science degree is preferred but not required. Demonstrated bench experience, shipped products, and functional beverage expertise are what we're actually evaluating.

WHAT YOU BRING
WHO THRIVES IN THIS ROLE
You get genuinely annoyed when a functional product doesn't taste good. You believe taste and function are not a tradeoff — they're a design challenge. You can hold a sensory opinion and an ingredient science perspective in the same conversation without losing either one.
You have opinions about coffee. You know the difference between a formula that's technically correct and one that's actually great. You're the person who brings samples to team meetings without being asked, because you want real feedback from real people, not just data from a lab report.
You're data-driven but not data-dependent. You can design a study to answer a question rigorously, and you can also make a good call based on sensory instinct when the situation calls for it. You document both, own both, and follow up on both.
You want to build a bench, not just sit on one. This is an early R&D seat — you'll set how things run, what gets measured, and how junior people get trained when we hire them.
