At Sensient Technologies, we are experts in the science, art and innovation of color and flavor. We are market-savvy and visionary. We are problem solvers. And we will be better with you. Position Summary

We are looking for a Senior Application Scientist I. If you are energized by the idea of developing delicious, real-world food products and enjoy using creativity to solve formulation challenges, this opportunity may be for you. We’re looking for a collaborative food scientist who enjoys working hands-on in a lab or pilot plant setting and is ready to make a meaningful impact by developing sweet product applications such as ice cream, baked goods, and confections. This role is based on-site in a collaborative lab environment, where cross-functional teamwork and direct interaction with production teams and commercial partners are part of everyday work. Occasional travel may be required for customer visits and plant support.

What you’ll do: • Develop ice cream, bakery, and confectionery products that showcase ingredient systems • Lead product development projects from concept through scale-up, including formulation, testing, and documentation • Collaborate with sales, marketing, flavorists, and sensory teams to align product design with customer needs • Support production teams by troubleshooting issues, attending calls, and participating in rework planning • Assist with customer visits, product demos, and educational sessions • Run trials in the pilot plant and test for stability, shelf life, and performance • Guide and coach less experienced team members on technical skills and project execution

What you’ll bring: • A degree in food science, food technology, chemistry, or a related field • Significant experience in sweet product development, preferably across ice cream, baked goods, and confectionery • Strong understanding of ingredient functionality and flavor application • Ability to work independently while managing multiple projects in a fast-paced environment • Excellent communication skills and comfort presenting to both technical and non-technical audiences • Working knowledge of lab and pilot plant equipment, as well as standard food industry software tools • A hands-on, problem-solving mindset and a collaborative approach to team projects

What you’ll get: • A dynamic, creative environment with the opportunity to innovate and impact real products • Direct involvement with cross-functional teams and customer-facing activities • Access to a well-equipped pilot plant and application labs • Opportunities to grow through leadership, mentoring, and exposure to diverse product categories • A culture that values safety, collaboration, and scientific curiosity • Competitive compensation and benefits tailored to support your well-being and development

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
