Atman Teas is a modern tea beverage company currently developing functional RTD canned tea products inspired by Indonesian tea culture, calm focus, and modern design.

We are looking for a hands-on technical operator to help build the foundation of our product development and beverage operations from the ground up.

This is not a purely office or lab role. You will be directly involved in beverage R&D, pilot production, process testing, quality control, and operational system building.

Key Responsibilities

- Assist beverage formulation and R&D trials

- Conduct brewing, filtration, dosing, filling, and pasteurization testing

- Help improve consistency, stability, and product quality

- Record production parameters, QC data, and trial documentation

- Help build SOPs and operational workflows

- Coordinate ingredients, packaging, and production suppliers

- Support pilot production and small-scale manufacturing activities

- Work directly with founder on product and operational development

Requirements

- Background in Food Technology, Food Science, Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology, or related field

- Preferably has 1–4 years experience in beverage, FMCG, brewery, dairy, coffee, or food manufacturing environments

- Fresh graduates with strong practical experience may still apply

- Detail-oriented and operationally disciplined

- Comfortable working in startup environments with ambiguity and experimentation

- Willing to work hands-on in production and R&D environments

- Strong curiosity toward beverages, tea, brewing, and product development

- Able to troubleshoot and solve problems independently

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with beverage processing, pasteurization, sanitation, QC, or food safety systems

- Familiarity with pH, Brix, shelf-life testing, or production documentation

- Experience in pilot production or small manufacturing environments

- Interest in premium beverages, specialty tea, or consumer brands

We are looking for builders, not just applicants. Someone technically curious, disciplined, practical, and excited to help create a premium Indonesian beverage brand from zero. This role is suited for someone who enjoys building from the ground up.

As one of the first team members at Atman Teas, you will be trusted with real ownership and responsibility across product development and operations. We are looking for someone proactive, disciplined, hands-on, and capable of working independently in a fast-moving startup environment.

We value initiative, consistency, cleanliness, curiosity, and problem-solving mindset as much as technical knowledge.
