Information Technology Engineer

The EVERY Company, based in South San Francisco, is a leading VC-backed food tech ingredient company using precision fermentation to create animal proteins without the animal for the global food and beverage industry. Originally founded as Clara Foods in 2014, EVERY™ rebranded in 2021 to better convey its vision to bring animal-free proteins to everyone, everywhere. EVERY™ is a team of passionate change makers who are reimagining the factory farm model with a kinder, more sustainable alternative. Leveraging precision fermentation to produce hyper-functional and one-to-one replacement proteins from microorganisms, EVERY™ is on a mission to decouple the world’s proteins from the animals that make them.

We are a passionate, determined, (and fun!) team with a vital objective, and we're on the lookout for like-minded people to join our mission. Sound like you?

The EVERY Company's Data Team brings together scientists, engineers, and designers to weave data products into the fabric of the company from machine learning in genomics data to process optimization and mining on flavor.

To that end, you know your way around a terminal and may even do some scripting or automation. Of course, you are a good communicator and a kernel panic doesn’t scare you.
