Ice Cream Maker

Milk Jawn is an award-winning small-batch ice cream company based in Philly. Our flavors are built from scratch and almost every ingredient that goes into our ice cream is handmade in our production kitchen. 

We’re looking for dependable, hardworking people to join our ice cream production team — the people behind the pints, waffle cones, baked goods, and flavors our city lines up for.

We’re a fast-paced, team-oriented company that cares deeply about quality, consistency, collaboration, and creating a workplace people genuinely enjoy being part of.

This is not a chaotic restaurant kitchen environment. Our production team works hard, stays organized, supports one another, and takes pride in making really great products.

We’re looking for people who enjoy staying busy, working with their hands, and being part of a strong team.

What You’ll Do

Responsibilities include:

• Producing and packing ice cream

• Assisting with novelty production, such as ice cream tacos and ice cream sandwiches

• Ingredient prep and organization

• Maintaining cleanliness and food safety standards

• Working collaboratively with the production team

• Helping maintain quality and consistency across all products

We’d Love To Meet Someone Who:

• Is dependable and punctual

• Works well on a team

• Moves with urgency and attention to detail

• Takes pride in doing things correctly

• Thrives in a fast-paced environment

• Is positive, adaptable, and willing to learn

Food production, baking, kitchen, warehouse, or manufacturing experience is preferred, but prior ice cream making experience is not required. We’re happy to train the right person.

What We Offer

• Competitive pay

• PTO and paid holidays

• Health, vision, and dental benefits

• Consistent scheduling (4/10 schedule)

• Employee discounts & perks

• Opportunities for growth and advancement

• Supportive team culture

• A low-drama, respectful work environment

Full-time availability required.

Work hours are Tuesday through Friday, 7am to 5pm.

Salary details

Starting pay is $17-19/hour base pay (dependent on experience), plus an additional $3-$8 per hour in tips. The employee tip rate in 2025 was an average of $5.70/hour.
