Offer Description

Cultivated meat. Grown from animal cells, without suffering or compromise. Sounds like science fiction? At Mewery, it’s becoming reality. And we’re looking for people who want to be part of it.

 

Mewery in a nutshell 🥩

We’re the first European food-tech startup developing cultivated pork from mammalian cells and microalgae. Our unique microalgae-based technology aims to eliminate key scale-up barriers and accelerate the entire cultivated meat industry.

We recently received the Seal of Excellence – a recognition from the European Commission that marks our project as one of the most innovative in biotech and foodtech across Europe. Our R&D is supported by stable and competitive funding, including three national grants and one European grant. This ensures long-term financial support and a stimulating environment for your scientific development.

 

We’re making headlines 🗞️

Check out our recent interview on DVTV or watch the feature from our labs on SeznamZprávy. You can also find articles about us in international media such as Vegconomist and Green Queen, or Czech outlets like Forbes and CzechCrunch.

 

We have a strong team of scientists with deep knowledge of mammalian and microalgae cell cultivation.

 

What we need from you 💻

You’re a bioprocess expert with hands-on experience in optimizing mammalian cell culture systems, comfortable working with both small and large-scale bioreactors. You’ll be a key link in transferring our laboratory processes into scalable, production-ready workflows.

 

What you’ll do:

  • Design and optimize culture conditions for mammalian cells
  • Operate and scale bioreactor systems from lab to pilot and industrial scale
  • Collaborate with the team to transfer R&D processes to production settings
  • Ensure process consistency and quality in compliance with GMP/GLP standards
  • Draft and manage documentation, SOPs, and technical reports
  • Contribute to the development of innovative strategies for efficient cell growth and product yield

 

Who we’re looking for:

  • Ph.D. in Biochemical Engineering, Cell Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Biochemistry, Chemistry or related field
  • (or MSc with 9+ years, or BSc with 10+ years of relevant industry experience)
  • Strong background in cell biology, biochemistry, and bioprocess development
  • Hands-on experience developing culture conditions for mammalian cells
  • Proven expertise in working with small- and large-scale bioreactors
  • Team player with a problem-solving mindset and strong communication skills
  • Proficient in planning, executing, and analyzing bioprocess experiments

 

What you get from us 🥂

Startup life today means not just speed and innovation—but also fair working conditions. At Mewery, you’ll enjoy 5 weeks of vacation, a MultiSport card, flexible working hours, and something even more exciting: the chance to be part of a historic shift in how humanity produces its food.

We work in a friendly environment with a mostly young team—but we also value wisdom and experience. We have 130 m² of labs and offices, and we organize regular team events. For key team members, we offer ESOP options. So, let’s meet! 🤙🏻
