Job description:
Product, Quality & Food Technologist
About Zama:
Zama is more than a food brand — it’s a celebration of India’s culture, culinary diversity, and deep-rooted hospitality. We’re on a mission to create meaningful connections between people and the food they enjoy, through stories that matter.
About the Role:
We’re looking for someone who’s as passionate about food innovation as they are about quality and compliance. As a Product, Quality & Food Technologist, you’ll be at the heart of our product journey — from concept to final label.
This role requires a balance of technical know-how, creativity, and a keen eye for detail. You’ll be working across new product development, ensuring food safety standards, managing certifications, and maintaining consistency in everything that carries the Zama name.
What You’ll Do:
- Research and develop new food products that align with our brand values — clean, natural, and rooted in Indian tradition.
- Conduct product trials, sensory evaluations, and shelf-life testing for new and existing SKUs.
- Manage labeling, stickering, and packaging content — ensuring all details (ingredients, nutrition facts, batch codes, etc.) are compliant and accurate.
- Work closely with vendors and co-packers for product consistency and adherence to Zama’s quality standards.
- Oversee quality control checks — from raw materials to finished goods.
- Prepare and maintain FSSAI documentation, specifications, and audit records.
- Be part of internal and third-party food safety and compliance audits.
- Coordinate certifications (organic, ISO, HACCP, etc.) and ensure timely renewals.
- Keep an eye on market trends, ingredients, and innovations to suggest new ideas for product lines.
- Work alongside the design and marketing teams to bring product concepts to life — from ingredient storytelling to packaging details.
What We’re Looking For:
- Degree in Food Technology / Food Science / Microbiology / Biotech.
- 2 –4 years of experience in product development, quality assurance, or food compliance.
- Strong knowledge of FSSAI guidelines, labeling norms, and documentation.
- Prior experience with certification processes (organic, HACCP, ISO) is a plus.
- Good analytical and communication skills with an eye for detail.
- Someone who enjoys working hands-on, multitasking, and collaborating with different teams.
- Passionate about food, curious about ingredients, and genuinely cares about quality.
Why You’ll Love Working Here:
At Zama, we don’t just build food products — we build experiences. You’ll get to work closely with a small, passionate team where your ideas matter and your contribution directly shapes what goes on the shelf. If you love the idea of combining science, creativity, and culture in your work — this is for you.
