American Outdoor Products is currently hiring for the positions below. We'd love you to consider working for this fun, fast paced, family owned and operated company. Learn more and submit your resume today, or contact us for more details.

American Outdoor Products is a Boulder-based food company that has been making freeze-dried food for decades. Our brands — Backpacker’s Pantry, Astronaut Ice Cream, and Colorado Spice — show up in backpacks, camp kitchens, lunchboxes and pantries around the country. We’re family-owned, we manufacture real products, and we care deeply about doing the work well.

We care about what we build and how we build it. We make real food in our Boulder facility, and we don’t pretend it’s always easy. There are constraints. There are tradeoffs. There’s a lot of figuring things out. That’s part of the work and part of the satisfaction.

People who do well here like ownership. They like solving problems, not passing them along. They take pride in doing things thoughtfully, whether that’s dialing in a process, launching a product, or fixing something that isn’t working yet. We value collaboration, but we value follow-through more.

We’re serious about performance, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We care about food, the outdoors, and leaving things better than we found them — including the company itself. If you want a place where your work is visible, your decisions matter, and what you’re building actually exists in the world, this might be your place.
