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.
