At Spark, you will work as an integral part of our development team, ensuring that our fleet of test grills are running at maximum capacity.

  • Plenty of room for professional growth as part of a small but growing team.
  • Get paid to grill and experiment with recipes.

DISCUSSION

The backyard barbecue is an American pastime, but we’ve lost something in our transition to the convenience of gas grills over the last 30 years. Eager to be rid of the messy and time-consuming experience of dumping a bag of charcoal on an aluminum grate and dousing it with lighter fluid, we embraced gas, on the promise it would do the job just as well. It doesn’t. 

Spark combines the artisanship of the pre-gas era with the technology of today to give cooks the authenticity, taste and character of charcoal without all the hassle.
