Join Us

We aren’t currently hiring, but we would love to hear from you.

The planet is on fire, and we’ll need an ocean to quench it. At Umaro, we’re building an entirely new food system that supports a wild and thriving planet - starting with the ocean. Instead of using land, we are looking underwater to create a new protein source – protein from seaweed. Instead of growing protein in tiny bioreactors, the ocean is our bioreactor, and our protein requires no land, no freshwater, and no fertilizer to grow. It’s a superfood for people and the planet.

We have already started our mission by developing an innovative application of seaweed hydrocolloids to mimic bacon fat.

Umaro was co-founded by two experts in the seaweed and plant-based protein industries. We’re funded by leading industry and impact investors who want to make a difference, and we’re moving fast. Our planet needs our products, and we need you. We need all hands on deck to make this a reality. 

We’re looking for curious and passionate individuals to join us in our mission. We expect to be hiring soon in the following areas:

• Food Science

• Materials Science

• Engineering

• Sales

• Marketing

• Production Line Cooks (Nashville, TN)

• Chemistry & Biology
