- Proven track record of driving innovation within highly technical, distributed teams. You have driven complex projects to completion and are motivated by solving high-impact problems and building for the best user UX
- Strong knowledge of mobile and web development best practices
- Demonstrable experience shipping high quality web or mobile apps to production
Desirable

- Proficiency with leveraging AI Coding tools in day to day development, similar to Cursor

What the job involves
- The Engineering Foundation team is a newly formed team responsible for ensuring the overall architecture supports the company’s rapid growth and provides an excellent experience for all CookUnity users
- We’re undertaking a large re-architecture of many systems across the engineering stack, and we’ll shape (and build) the future frameworks, technologies, and patterns for the rest of the engineering org to leverage
- This is a rare opportunity to work at a rapid growth scaleup company and build on an entirely net new system to set the engineering foundation and principles across the org
- As a Senior Frontend Software Engineer on the Engineering Foundation team, you’ll play a critical role in defining the direction for the future of CookUnity’s frontend architecture.
- You will build net new mobile/web apps that form the future base of our customer-facing experience, decide whether something warrants being re-built or re-architected, and set in place best practices and patterns for the entire CookUnity engineering org to adopt
- We’re looking for someone who’s excited about the prospect of taking an existing product that’s growing rapidly and helping to rebuild key components of our system. This will help set CookUnity up to scale gracefully for our next years of rapid growth, reduce overall system complexity, and enable product teams to build incredible features faster
- Rebuild key parts of CookUnity's architecture to support rapid growth, improve resilience, and enable product teams to deliver faster, high-quality user experiences
- Establish opinionated, high-quality engineering practices for new features and progressively apply them to existing systems across the org
- Demonstrate strong self-direction and thrive in environments with high ambiguity, making sound decisions even when clear solutions are not readily apparent
- Write clean, efficient, well-tested code to set a high standard and lead by example as a hands-on engineer
- Partner across Engineering, Product, and Business teams to develop new systems or reengineer existing ones collaboratively
- Mentor teams and individuals to inspire innovation and maintain high technical standards throughout the engineering organization
Our take
CookUnity is a meal subscription service which connects consumers with some of the country's best known chefs, including Esther Choi, Chris Ratel and Andy Mendez. Consumers can select from a menu of handcrafted meals that cater to a wide variety of palates and dietary preferences. Believing that healthy food fuels stronger communities, CookUnity contributes to an ongoing partnership and donation with the Food Bank For New York City.
The New York founded business hit the headlines for its upward trajectory in 2020, where it secured 15.5 million in funding and saw an expected boost not just in demand, but in the supply of top culinary talent at a time when restaurants were struggling.
While there’s a wide world of meal plan delivery services, CookUnity has a jump on much of the competition as it’s the first service that connects such eminent chefs directly with the customer. This has allowed it to expand across much of the US, and it now prepares over 10 million meals annually for its 50,000 subscribers.
With most of the urban US now covered by its service, CookUnity is moving into the next phase of its growth, expanding the range of sellers and food products on the platform, and has plans to offer family-sized portions, brekfast options and cooking classes using its existing physical and digital infrastructure. This will enable it to grow into an all-in-one meal subscription service over the coming years.
