About Zama: Zama is more than a food brand - it’s a celebration of India’s culture, culinary diversity, and deep-rooted hospitality. We’re on a mission to create meaningful connections between people and the food they enjoy, through stories that matter.
About the Role: We’re looking for someone who’s as passionate about food innovation as they are about quality and compliance. As a Product, Quality & Food Technologist, you’ll be at the heart of our product journey - from concept to final label. This role requires a balance of technical know-how, creativity, and a keen eye for detail. You’ll be working across new product development, ensuring food safety standards, managing certifications, and maintaining consistency in everything that carries the Zama name.
What You’ll Do:
Research and develop new food products that align with our brand values - clean, natural, and rooted in Indian tradition.
Conduct product trials, sensory evaluations, and shelf-life testing for new and existing SKUs.
Manage labeling, stickering, and packaging content - ensuring all details (ingredients, nutrition facts, batch codes, etc.) are compliant and accurate.
Work closely with vendors and co-packers for product consistency and adherence to Zama’s quality standards.
Oversee quality control checks - from raw materials to finished goods.
Prepare and maintain FSSAI documentation, specifications, and audit records.
Be part of internal and third-party food safety and compliance audits.
Coordinate certifications (organic, ISO, HACCP, etc.) and ensure timely renewals.
Keep an eye on market trends, ingredients, and innovations to suggest new ideas for product lines.
Work alongside the design and marketing teams to bring product concepts to life - from ingredient storytelling to packaging details.
What We’re Looking For:
Degree in Food Technology / Food Science / Microbiology / Biotech.
2 –4 years of experience in product development, quality assurance, or food compliance.
Strong knowledge of FSSAI guidelines, labeling norms, and documentation.
Prior experience with certification processes (organic, HACCP, ISO) is a plus.
Good analytical and communication skills with an eye for detail.
Someone who enjoys working hands-on, multitasking, and collaborating with different teams.
Passionate about food, curious about ingredients, and genuinely cares about quality.
Why You’ll Love Working Here: At Zama, we don’t just build food products - we build experiences. You’ll get to work closely with a small, passionate team where your ideas matter and your contribution directly shapes what goes on the shelf. If you love the idea of combining science, creativity, and culture in your work - this is for you.
