Data Scientist

Our Mission is to enable cultivated meat to be the sustainable and affordable choice, for everyone. Growth media costs block cultivated meat companies from scaling up, contributing 60-80% of production costs. Media development is slow and expensive, and the pool of qualified ingredients is insufficient. We make it faster and cheaper to develop and source media that scales, helping companies accelerate on the path from lab to market.

We win by solving difficult growth media problems faster, better, cheaper and safer than anyone else.
Having rapidly grown over the last few years and completed our Series A funding, we are looking for a hardworking and driven go-getter to join our engineering team.
