Baker Assistant

Baker — Sensible Edible Bakery

Long Island City, NY | Part-Time

Sensible Edible Bakery — NYC's largest gluten-free and vegan commercial bakery — is hiring an experienced baker for our core production team. This is not an entry-level role. You should already know how to bakel. We'll give you a brief orientation to our recipes, equipment, and process.

What You'll Do

• Produce a wide range of vegan and gluten-free baked goods, including muffins, cookies, bars and brownies.
• Execute daily production across multiple recipes on our commercial ovens
• Learn our full menu and run production independently as a core baker
• Follow all food-safety protocols and prevent cross-contamination to maintain strict allergy-safe standards
• Cut and pack brownies, and assist with pack-out as needed
• Maintain inventory lists, monitor ingredient levels, and assist with purchasing
• Clean, sanitize, and maintain workstations and equipment
• Step up during heavy shifts and large orders — jump in wherever the team needs hands
• Support the lead baker with any other production or prep tasks as assigned

Equipment You'll Operate

• 80-quart floor mixer
• Double commercial convection oven
• Standard single convection oven
• Standard commercial baking tools and small wares

Schedule

• 5-6 hour days/ 5 days a week
• Saturdays off
• Mondays are half days
• Schedule and production needs may shift seasonally

Requirements

• Hands-on baking experience — professional or high-volume preferred
• Ability to consistently lift 50 lbs+ and handle heavy commercial equipment (including moving 80-quart mixing bowls from sink to mixer)
• Strong communication and reliability
• Adaptability — schedule and production needs may shift seasonally
• Food Protection Certificate is a plus; if you don't have one, we'll help you obtain it

You must already be able to read and execute recipes at production scale, scale ingredients, scoop, portion, pipe, sheet, and pan up, operate commercial ovens and mixers, and maintain pace through a full production day. Our training is brief and focused on our bakery's specific recipes, workflow, and standards. We are not training basics like recipe execution or cookie scooping. If you need to be taught those, this role is not for you.

What We Offer

• $18/hr
• 50% employee discount on everything we make
• 3% retirement plan match (SIMPLE IRA)
• Daily gym access
• PTO
• Training toward your Food Protection Certificate

Sensible Edible Bakery is an equal opportunity employer.
