This is listed as a profession of one of the people working at a market hall (others include Buchbinder, Seifenmacher, etc.)
I thought maybe "sandwich maker" but I think that's more a machine than a person. Any other ideas? MT.

sandwich spreader
I understand your concern about 'sandwich maker', although I think it would fit OK into a list of market stall jobs. Considering the nature of 'Aufstrich', I think 'spreader' sounds fine.
