Culinary Systems & Flavor Engineer

Dr. Berg Nutritionals

9d • $70 - $120 • Remote

About The Position

Dr. Berg Nutritionals is a leader in the health and wellness industry focused on addressing the root causes of health concerns. We reach millions of people globally through education, digital content, and premium health products.
You’ll be joining a fast-growing, mission-driven organization with a global reach of over 42 million followers, building products that support long-term health.
Join Our Team
We are building food products that help people transition off ultra-processed food and back to real food — without sugar, junk fillers, or industrial shortcuts. We are not recreating junk food. We are replacing the need for it.
If you are someone who:
Loves making cost-effective ingredients taste expensive
Thinks about aroma, bloom, and aftertaste
Cares about digestion and satiety, not just flavor impact
... this role may be for you.
If your instinct is to add sweetness, this role is not a fit.
Role Summary
As the Culinary Systems & Flavor Engineer, you will
Make simple food taste incredible
Design flavor systems (not just recipes)
Work under strict constraints
Create products that retrain the taste buds, not hijack them
This role is not for
Corporate food R&D managers
Flavor chemists trained primarily in sweetness masking
Anyone whose portfolio centers on desserts, candy, or “better-for-you junk”
People who need long ingredient lists to feel confident
This role is for experienced, talented individuals.

Requirements

• Chef or culinary background
• Deep hands-on food formulation experience outside big food
• Strong opinions about taste
• Bias toward savory, bitter, mineral, and umami flavors
• Personal experience avoiding sugar and ultra-processed foods

Responsibilities

• Savory seasoning systems (e.g., hamburger rescue blends)
• Grain-free ultra-thin crispbreads (no sugar alcohols, no junk fibers)
• Digestive bitter tonics (non-alcoholic, ritual-based)
• Dry blends for sauces and dressings (user adds their own oil)
• Transitional products that replace junk behaviors without recreating junk.
