- 5+ years of full-stack engineering experience
- Demonstrable experience with an opinionated tech stack that you can move fast with
- Familiarity with DevOps best practices, or past experience supporting a production service as an engineer
- Experience with modern development tools, APIs, databases, and cloud infrastructure
- Familiarity with the best in class AI tools & services
- Track record of shipping products to production
- Excellent communication skills
- Self-starter mentality with high autonomy and agency
- Hands-on builder who's equally comfortable discussing user flows and database schemas
- Thrive in ambiguity and can create structure in unstructured environments

- Enthusiastic about leveraging cutting-edge technologies
- Strong obsession with the craft of implementation
- Entrepreneurial mindset and are willing to wear multiple hats
Desirable
- Experience in consumer technology products
- Experience working with AI tools for development
- Experience taking a product or project from 0 to 1 in a startup environment
- Understanding of current trends in AI, particularly around image generation and foundational models
What the job involves
- Cookin (a CookUnity company) is revolutionizing the food industry by empowering food entrepreneurs to sell their creations online
- We democratize access to tools that were previously only available to established restaurants, creating opportunities for culinary talent everywhere
- We're launching an exciting new initiative - Cookin v2 - that builds on all the learnings from our first product iteration
- This is essentially a new startup within our organization, and we're looking for an engineering leader who can function almost like a co-founder
- Working within a small, agile pod with 1 product manager and design support, you'll be directly translating the vision set by our CPO into a market-ready product
- This is a rare opportunity to shape a product from 0the ground up with the backing of an established company
- Product Development: Build the full stack Cookin v2 product from the ground up, working closely with the lead PM, and the CTO and CPO where needed
- Rapid Prototyping: Create functional prototypes using the latest tools and technologies to test concepts quickly in collaboration with product
- Dealing with Ambiguity: Much like an early stage startup, dealing well with a high degree of ambiguity, making the best decisions given incomplete data, and speaking directly with customers to understand their needs will be essential to this role
- Full Stack Engineering: The product will span mobile, web, and the backend, and some level of comfortability with all of them, or a willingness to learn rapidly, will be necessary for success
- Stakeholder Management: Communicate effectively with executive leadership, including direct reporting to CPO, COO, CTO, and CEO
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.
