Full Job Description

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 an R&D Scientist to work directly with the Director of Product & Innovation on developing new functional beverage formulations from benchtop through commercialization. This is a science-forward role- analytical rigor, sensory methodology, and ingredient functionality are the core of the job. Coffee formulation, sweetener systems, and flavor systems experience is a meaningful differentiator. We work extensively with complex functional stacks layered into coffee systems. We need someone who understands the sensory, solubility, and stability challenges that come with that. A food science degree is preferred but not required. Demonstrated bench experience and functional beverage knowledge are what we're actually evaluating. WHAT YOU'LL DO Benchtop Formulation & Product Development * Hands-on development of new functional beverage formulations from first prototype through stability-validated, production-ready formula. * Develop and iterate on coffee bases across multiple SKUs: evaluate flavor profile, solubility, mouthfeel, and ingredient compatibility. * Formulate around functional ingredient constraints with a rigorous understanding of how each interacts with a particular carrier system. * Determine functional performance and sensory properties of ingredients in finished products using established analytical and sensory evaluation tools. * Ide
