About Kefilo
Kefilo is building a next-generation nutrition and wellness company focused on functional nutrition, food innovation, and preventive healthcare.
We are not a traditional cloud kitchen. Our goal is to develop scientifically designed, high-protein, functional food products that help people achieve sustainable health transformations.
Our cloud kitchen also functions as an R&D center where every recipe is tested, standardized, documented, and continuously improved before reaching customers.
Role Overview
This is a hands-on kitchen and food innovation role, not a restaurant chef position.
You will spend most of your time inside our cloud kitchen experimenting with recipes, developing high-protein food products, standardizing formulations, documenting processes, and creating engaging food content.
If you enjoy cooking, experimenting with ingredients, and building innovative nutrition products, this role is for you.

- Conduct product testing to improve taste, texture, shelf life, consistency, and customer experience.
- Prepare SOPs and maintain proper documentation for every product developed.
- Assist in menu development, product innovation, and continuous R&D activities.
- Shoot aesthetic food photos, recipe videos, behind-the-scenes kitchen content, and participate in podcasts and educational videos.
- Work closely with nutritionists, branding, and operations teams during product development and launches.
- Maintain hygiene, food safety standards, and quality control within the kitchen.
Who Should Apply?
- Degree or pursuing degree in Food Science, Food Technology, Hotel Management, Culinary Arts, Nutrition, or related fields.
- Passion for cooking and experimenting with food.
- Basic understanding of nutrition, recipe development, and food standardization.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced cloud kitchen environment.

- Experience in content creation, branding, and startup execution.
