Who are we?

Lyka is an Australian founded pet wellness company that's shaking up an outdated industry and paving the way for happier, healthier pets. Despite medical advancements, animal lifespans are on the decline. Today, the average pet only reaches 37% of their full potential lifespan and statistics have shown us that many suffer from dental disease, cancer, and obesity. Simply put, the status quo is not enough.

As humans, we've experienced firsthand the positive impact fresh wholefoods can have on our health and wellbeing, and we believe our furry friends deserve the same. We're on a mission to do just that, starting with nutritionally balanced, wholefood meals delivered direct to doors around Australia. As the world's most sustainable pet wellness company, we're putting pets and our planet first - one bowl at a time.

Today, we are proud to share we've served 50 million meals to puppers and their parents across Australia, and this is just the beginning. Our vision is to create multiple nutritional products, adding disease prevention meals and supplements, and expand into new markets.

Currently, we have a team of 250+ pet-obsessed people and we're continuing to grow (yes, looking at you!). These carefully selected people are dedicated to building the next generation of technology and products to help empower pet parents to take control over their pet's wellbeing.

To date, we have raised over $60M in funding from venture capital investors and pet industry insiders, who believe in our mission and ability to drive change in a stagnant industry, providing nutrition that nourishes puppers from the inside out.

Are you ready to shake things up and give pets the life they deserve? Come join our pack!

Our Mission

The time we share with our pets is being cut short. Despite medical advancements, they're getting sicker earlier. They're dying prematurely. The industry has it backwards - prioritising treating symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. That's where we come in.

At Lyka, we take a preventative, holistic and personalised approach to pet care. We look at the full picture, factoring in the diet, lifestyle and environment of each individual animal.

We don't stop at symptoms, instead we dig for the root cause. We create nutrition plans unique to each pet, because it's not just about living longer, but living well too.

Our mission is to increase the average lifespan of dogs and cats by 2050.

What you'll do:

• Lead and manage engineering projects to ensure timely, within-budget, and within-scope delivery, coordinating closely with cross-functional teams (e.g., M&SC, R&D, tech) to define project goals and resource needs.
• Develop and execute detailed project plans, including schedules, cost estimates, risk assessments, and resource allocations, while monitoring progress and making necessary adjustments.
• Oversee the design, development, and implementation of engineering solutions for production lines, validating technical drawings and ensuring compliance with safety, environmental, and quality standards.
• Serve as the primary liaison for internal stakeholders, vendors, and contractors, facilitating communication, managing expectations, and coordinating resources to ensure smooth project execution.
• Optimise resource utilisation (manpower, materials, equipment) for project efficiency, conduct post-project evaluations, and drive process improvements to enhance operational efficiency.
• Stay informed on industry trends to propose innovative solutions and support the company’s growth and commitment to operational excellence.

• 3-5 years of project engineering experience, ideally in FMCG or manufacturing, with a strong understanding of project management tools and methodologies.
• Proven ability to manage projects through the full lifecycle, including process design, automation, troubleshooting, and problem-solving in engineering contexts.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to engage vendors, contractors, and internal teams effectively.
• Track record of driving process improvements that enhance operational efficiency, along with adaptability in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
• Strong organisational skills, capable of handling multiple projects simultaneously, with a willingness to travel as needed.

• Work in a fast-growing start-up, experiencing what goes behind the scenes to sustain hyper-growth for a start-up with a physical product!
• Growth and Development – Lyka is growing extremely quickly, which means you will have the opportunity to experience different challenges every day and progressively acquire more responsibilities as our facility and team expand. We provide an annual L&D budget for you to continue your personal development.
• Work for a sustainability-focused company – we care about the health of our dogs and our planet. We’re proud to be Australia’s only carbon-negative and plastic-negative pet wellness company and we’re always looking at ways for us to improve sustainability practices.
• Be part of a diverse top-talent team, coming from widely different backgrounds and geographies.
• Up to 18 weeks of paid parental leave top-up
• Wellbeing assistance and tools to take care of your mental and physical wellbeing so you can do your best work.
• Flexible working: work from where you get your best work done. We have pet-friendly offices and industrial kitchens in Sydney and Melbourne.
• Pupper parent support to care for your furry friends – flexible arrangements for new pets, pet-friendly offices, discounts, and financial allowance for dog training and care to help them live their best life!
