About KULT FARM

KULT FARM makes a true and natural alternative to meat from mycelium solid state fermentation. As a venture-backed business, we are pioneering this approach.

Our mission ? is to foster the world’s transition to a sustainable food system- without asking consumers to compromise on taste, texture, or price.

Our planet ? cannot sustain our current food system; therefore, we believe in producing exceptional alternative products to remove the current strain on our environment and ensure food security for our future ever-growing population.

This is your opportunity to have an impact on our planet and experience a startup in its earliest days.

Tasks

This role sits at the intersection of bioprocess engineering, indoor farming, and applied microbiology, and is critical to translating lab-scale fermentation into robust, scalable, and economically viable production systems.

We are looking for a responsible, organised individual with a practical approach to work on scaling our solid-state fermentation plant.

We are not looking for scientists.

Key responsibilities ?

Fermentation

- Design and implement fermentation infrastructure, including incubation environments, airflow systems, humidity control, and thermal management.

- Develop fermentation processes, including inoculation strategies, substrate conditioning and harvest protocols.

- Monitor and control critical process parameters (moisture, temperature, airflow, O₂/CO₂, pH where relevant) to hit target yields, product specs and consistency

Indoor farming systems

- Co‑design and operate our indoor farming infrastructure: trays, racks,



climate rooms, sensors, air handling, humidification and lighting (where applicable).

- Collaborate with mechanical/electrical partners on layout, utilities and ergonomics for scalable farm modules (from pilot to pre‑industrial).

- Ensure high uptime and robust operation of equipment through basic maintenance, troubleshooting and coordination with external technicians.

Process engineering

- Integration into and process engineering on the full production chain.

- Collaborate closely with R&D; to translate experimental protocols into scalable, repeatable processes.

Scale‑up and industrialisation

- Translate pilot learnings into engineering inputs for larger‑scale facilities (mass balances, capacity calculations, throughput models).

- Facility layout planning and equipment selection for pilot scale to industrial setup.

Requirements

- Degree in Bioprocess / Chemical / Biochemical / Agricultural / Electrical Engineering, Biotechnology, Food or Environmental Engineering, or similar.

- At least 2 years proven hands‑on experience in fermentation, controlled-environment agriculture, mushroom farming, vertical / indoor farming, or similar process industries.





- Proven experience operating and troubleshooting pilot‑ or production‑scale systems (bioreactors, climate rooms, indoor farms, or analogous equipment).

- Solid understanding of mass and energy balances, heat and mass transfer, and basic process control concepts.

- Comfortable working physically in a pilot production plant environment (cleaning, handling trays, doing measurements) as part of the daily work.

- Working proficiency in English; Spanish and/or German is a plus .

- A track record of willingness to learn, adapt, get stuff done, and be proactive

- Independence and strong sense of ownership for tasks

Benefits

Why join?

- You will work in a cross-disciplinary Production team with food technologists, biotechnologists, microbiologists, engineers at a cutting-edge technology.

- Trans-disciplinarity at its peak: we believe invention only happens when you connect dots that are seemingly far apart.

- A high-impact, ambitious startup environment with the ability to learn and grow alongside the company

- The opportunity to work on groundbreaking technology and make a true impact on the environment and our food system

- A fun, versátil, and rewarding environment where you can have the ability to thrive as a person
