Sous Baker/Lead Baker

Bottega Bakery is looking for a passionate and experienced baker who want to be part of an emerging bread and pastry program here in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Our cafe has been opened in 2025, and we opened our new bakery and market next door to the cafe in October 2026! We also have a small wholesale program and will be opening a second location by the park in Fort Greene next year.  We are a small group of 4 bakers and eager to add to the team!

The available position is a leadership position that requires experience and technical skill in lamination and shaping various types of viennoiserie. Experience with sourdough and yeasted breads is also preferred. You will be working closely with the head baker to create inventive pastries using seasonal ingredients, local cultured butter, and freshly milled flours. You will ensure that quality control is up to the bakery standard and production is running smoothly when the head baker is off site. 

The ideal candidate will possess a high attention to detail that is necessary for creating consistent and high quality bread and pastry. You should be organized, cleanly, motivated, able to multitask and work unsupervised.

At Bottega, we like to foster a sense of creativity and growth, so a baker who would like to experiment with new recipes and share their own creative vision is encouraged as well. Shift times fluctuate depending on the production role for the day, start times ranging from 3am-7am. 

Please apply here or email head baker Jacob at [email protected] with your resume and cover letter or brief introduction and any other inquiries.
