R&D Chef

We’re Tovala, a food-tech company reinventing home cooking to save consumers time. Through an innovative combination of hardware, software, and fresh food delivery, we make it incredibly simple for anyone to prepare and enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals without sacrificing time to do whatever matters to them. Through our superior technology, product experience and food quality, we have separated Tovala from the busy pack of other meal delivery businesses. In the process, we’ve amassed a loyal, rapidly growing following and our retention, product engagement and customer NPS are all best-in-class. We’ve raised over $100mm from great investors like Left Lane Capital, Origin Ventures, Y Combinator and Comcast Ventures and have invested strongly in building a unique culture that fosters growth, personal development and camaraderie. Food development and quality are core to Tovala’s business. In this R&D Chef role, you’ll perform quality testing on ingredients, products, and new meal components; execute weekly quality checks; and support product optimization projects. You’ll use your culinary expertise to prepare gold-standard samples, provide actionable culinary feedback, assist with photoshoots, and collaborate with production and commercialization teams to maintain the highest standards across our menu.
