Senior Cracker Maker

Crackle Co.

Location: Somewhere near the ovens

Reports to: Chief Cracker Officer

About Crackle Co.

At Crackle Co., we believe the humble cracker deserves better.

Better crunch. Better seasoning. Better structural integrity under dip-related pressure.

We’re building a world where nobody has to pretend they enjoyed a soft, bland cracker ever again, and we’re looking for a Senior Cracker Maker to help lead the charge.

The Role

This is not an entry-level biscuit situation.

As Senior Cracker Maker, you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end cracker lifecycle - from dough formation and strategic hole placement through to baking, seasoning and rigorous crunch assessment.

You’ll bring experience, judgement and an unreasonable attention to detail to every batch.

What You’ll Do

• Lead production of Crackle Co.’s world-class cracker portfolio
• Maintain consistently high standards of crispness, crunch and snap
• Identify crackers that are technically crackers, but spiritually disappointing
• Optimise dough thickness to achieve the ideal crunch-to-chew ratio
• Oversee salt distribution and prevent dangerous seasoning clusters
• Conduct regular quality assurance through compulsory taste testing
• Mentor junior cracker makers in the ancient arts of rolling, docking and baking
• Investigate cracker breakage incidents and complete root-cause analysis
• Collaborate with the Dip Compatibility Team on hummus, cheese and antipasto applications
• Contribute to new product development, including crackers in shapes management may later regret
• Protect the company from the ever-present threat of accidentally manufacturing a biscuit

About You

You’re a seasoned cracker professional who takes pride in your craft but doesn’t take yourself too seriously.

Ideally, you’ll bring:

• 5+ years’ experience in crackers, biscuits, baked goods or another crunch-adjacent discipline
• Strong working knowledge of ovens
• Excellent judgement under high-temperature conditions
• A proven ability to distinguish between “crispy” and “burnt”
• Exceptional attention to detail, particularly where salt is concerned
• Confidence operating a rolling pin in a fast-paced environment
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including difficult conversations with cheese
• A willingness to eat the evidence when things go wrong

Highly Regarded

• Formal qualifications in Cracker Science, Dough Engineering or Applied Snacking
• Previous leadership experience in a high-growth cracker environment
• Experience scaling from artisanal handfuls to commercially irresponsible quantities
• Familiarity with sesame seeds
• Strong opinions on rosemary

What We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Generous staff cracker allowance
• Unlimited crumbs
• Regular professional development and tasting sessions
• A collaborative, low-ego, high-carbohydrate culture
• Genuine career progression, with a pathway to **Head
