Snoop Dogg and Deel want to pay you US$10,000 to eat ice cream

Deel is giving ice cream lovers around the world a shot at turning their sweet tooth into a job, teaming up with Snoop Dogg's Dr. Bombay to find the brand's first international ice cream taste tester.

The three-month role is fully remote and open to applicants globally, with the successful candidate set to earn US$10,000 a month to taste Dr. Bombay's ice cream and feed insights on flavours, trends and new ideas back to the team.

Applications opened on 28 August and will run for three weeks, with Deel supporting the brand's global hiring efforts and supplying a pool of candidates for the role. Some travel will also be required during the three-month stint.

Rather than looking for culinary credentials, Dr. Bombay is seeking someone with curiosity, strong social instincts and an outgoing personality. Applicants are expected to have a strong understanding of food and flavour trends, as well as an eye for emerging cultural trends before they reach the mainstream.

An interest in food culture, content creation or brand-building is also considered a plus, with the brand looking for candidates who can bring their own voice and enthusiasm to the role.

Snoop Dogg's team will be directly involved in reviewing shortlisted candidates, while the rapper and Dr. Bombay co-founder will personally call the successful applicant to tell them they have landed the job.

Once selected, the taste tester will work alongside the Dr. Bombay team as it develops the brand, with regular check-ins throughout the three-month contract. Deel and Dr. Bombay also plan to develop content around the successful candidate and their experience in the role.

The partnership is initially set to run for three months, although the companies said there could be opportunities for the successful candidate to work with Dr. Bombay's marketing team in the future.

"At Dr. Bombay, we craft ice cream flavours everyone loves - everyone around the world, meaning we need someone on staff who can serve as our global tastemaker," said Maya Warren, ice cream scientist for Dr. Bombay.

She added, "I'll take care of the science behind the scenes; you just need to bring curiosity, refined taste buds, and an appetite to have an impact on the future of Dr. Bombay. By working with Deel, we can find our international ice cream taste tester in any corner of the world."

The move follows other brands turning fan passions into headline-grabbing paid roles, using dream jobs as a way to build engagement around products and cultural moments. In May, FOX Sports, FOX One and Indeed turned football fandom into a paid gig with a nationwide search for a "FOX One chief World Cup watcher hired through Indeed" ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The role offered a US$50,000 salary for one fan to watch all 104 matches live across 39 days from a custom-built viewing office in New York City's Times Square. Designed as a public-facing "dream watch space", the activation sought to turn solo football viewing into a continuous World Cup watch party in the heart of the city.
