Apply for Lab Technician

Edacious is transforming how the world measures, verifies, and communicates food quality. Across the food system, producers and brands are asked to prove the value of their work. But for too long, the data needed to do that has been fragmented, inaccessible, or too complex to use. Edacious is the leading platform for trust and transparency in food. Through lab testing and nutrition software, Edacious helps producers and brands verify nutrient density and safety, benchmark product quality, and turn results into regulatory-aligned claims and market-ready assets. When quality becomes measurable, communication becomes honest. When data is translated clearly, decisions become stronger. And when evidence replaces assumptions, a healthier, more transparent food system becomes possible. We’re a diverse team of scientists, engineers, designers, and systems-thinkers who are excited to teach and learn from each other every day. We’re looking for teammates who are passionate about food, the food system, and human or environmental health.
