Production Operator

About Boogie Bakery

Our mission is simple.

We want to bring real artisan sourdough to as many people as possible.

We believe great bread doesn't need unnecessary ingredients. That's why our products are made using only three ingredients and reflect our commitment to a sustainable production philosophy.

Through our proprietary precision fermentation technology, Boogie Bakery has made it possible to scale authentic sourdough production without compromising quality.

We're now bringing that innovation to the United States and building our U.S. production team. We're looking for people who share our commitment to quality, teamwork, and producing exceptional bread.
