Snoop Dogg’s Dr. Bombay ice‑cream brand announced a unique employment opportunity that blends travel, food enthusiasm and social‑media savvy. The position, titled International Ice Cream Taster, is open to applicants from any country and will run for three months as an independent‑contract engagement.
Compensation and contract details
The selected candidate will receive $10,000 per month, for a total of $30,000 over the three‑month period. Payments and hiring logistics will be managed through the global payroll platform Deel, which handles contractor agreements and disbursements.
Job responsibilities
According to the posting, the taster’s mission is simple: “Taste. Travel. Discover. Report back to Snoop.” The contractor will travel internationally to locate and evaluate the most interesting frozen desserts, documenting flavor profiles and cultural context. The role is not intended for a traditional, formal food critic; instead, the brand seeks someone who is curious about cuisine, plugged into contemporary culture, comfortable on social platforms, and capable of turning a scoop of ice cream into a compelling story.
Who should apply?
Dr. Bombay encourages a broad range of applicants, including creators, food enthusiasts, marketers, students, entrepreneurs, journalists, chefs and anyone with an unconventional background. Candidates are asked to submit video introductions, social‑media links and any other materials that showcase their personality and palate.
Connection to Snoop Dogg’s family history
The posting notes that Snoop Dogg’s father grew up on a dairy farm in Mississippi and made ice cream by hand. Those family memories later inspired Snoop and his son, Cordell Broadus, to create the Dr. Bombay brand, which blends classic ice‑cream with sherbet and unexpected flavor pairings under the banner “nostalgia, remixed.” The new taster will have the added perk of helping Snoop select his next signature flavor.
Application process
Interested individuals can apply through the Deel platform, which will handle both the hiring workflow and monthly payments. The job description emphasizes that applicants must be able to travel, possess a serious appreciation for ice cream and be able to articulate what flavor the world needs next. Fluency in additional languages is considered a plus, though not a requirement.
Why this matters
Beyond the novelty of tasting frozen treats, the role highlights a growing trend of brands leveraging global cultural insight to shape product development. By hiring a traveler‑taster, Dr. Bombay aims to capture authentic regional flavors and bring them to a broader U.S. market, potentially creating new revenue streams and expanding the brand’s reach.
How to apply
Applicants should prepare a short video showcasing their tasting experience, provide links to relevant social‑media profiles and submit any supporting materials that demonstrate their ability to convey flavor stories. The position is open now, and the company plans to fill it quickly to begin the three‑month scouting tour.
