About Parachute
Parachute is a modern, viennoiserie-forward bakery located inside San Francisco’s iconic Ferry Building. With a focus on laminated and enriched doughs, our pastry program revolves around viennoiserie—croissants, danishes, and other flaky, buttery goods—crafted fresh throughout the day. Our space includes a retail counter offering rotating seasonal pastries, cold-pressed juices, house-made confections, and a fully fledged coffee bar.

We operate as a tight-knit, highly skilled team with a shared goal: to execute exceptional product with precision, creativity, and care.

Position Overview
We are seeking a dedicated and skilled  Pastry Sous Chef to join our opening team. This role is central to daily production and team leadership, working alongside the Head Chef to maintain the highest standards of product quality, consistency, and kitchen organization. You’ll be primarily focused on viennoiserie and laminated pastries, with opportunities to contribute to confections and other areas of our pastry program.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assist the Head Chef with daily production of laminated pastries (croissants, danishes) and select chocolates and confections (bread spreads, toffees, little bites)

  • Ensure product consistency in quality, presentation, and taste

  • Execute all aspects of pastry prep: measuring, mixing, laminating, shaping, and baking

  • Help oversee kitchen operations: workstation setup, equipment use, cleanliness

  • Support training and development of junior bakers, ensuring adherence to proper technique and food safety standards

  • Maintain compliance with all health and hygiene protocols

Requirements

  • 3–5 years of professional bakery experience

  • Food Protection Certification required

  • Formal training in pastry or baking preferred

  • Strong technical proficiency in laminated pastry and enriched/leavened doughs

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

  • Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills

  • Availability for early mornings, weekends, and holidays

  • Physical stamina for a demanding kitchen environment, including lifting and long periods of standing

Why Join Us
At Parachute, you’ll be part of a thoughtful, focused team that values quality over quantity, and craft over convenience. You’ll have the chance to grow your skills, contribute creatively, and be part of building something from the ground up in one of San Francisco’s most iconic food spaces.
