Overnight Science professionals typically hold a bachelor's degree and work in research or biotech labs, often during overnight shifts. Laboratory Technicians may have similar educational backgrounds but are more commonly employed in clinical or industrial settings with varied shift schedules. While both roles involve lab work, Overnight Science focuses more on research activities during night hours, whereas Laboratory Technicians support diagnostic or testing processes during regular or shift hours.

Job description

A Little About Us
We are not accepting candidates from third-party recruiters or agencies for this role - direct applicants only.
Oats Overnight is on a mission to build a generational CPG brand. Since 2016, our high-protein, drinkable oatmeal has reached over a million customers through direct-to-consumer, and we're now scaling with all major nationwide retail and club partners. Our goal: become a household brand by leveraging speed, storytelling, and strategy.
We are vertically integrated: we develop, manufacture, and fulfill everything in-house. This operational control allows us to engage customers directly into the R&D process, an initiative where we were first-to-market in CPG. It also makes our brand tangible and real: our factory, our team, and our product pipeline are all part of the narrative.
This is an exciting stage - we are emerging as a significant omni-channel brand and launching new products to capture significant market share across verticals. We want you to help us get there.
Every teammate here has equity because we're building something big, and everyone plays an important role. If you're excited about building a brand that does things differently, this is that opportunity.
What's The Job
We are seeking a Food Scientist with a passion for new ingredient qualification, current ingredient optimization, and new product innovation. This role plays a pivotal part in enhancing ingredient functionality, improving product formulations, and supporting new concept development from ideation through commercialization. You will work hands-on with next-generation ingredient solutions, enhance product nutrition, and support the rapid development of oat-based, high-protein coffee products, along with new product platforms still in concept development.
This is a full-time, exempt, onsite role based in Arizona.
