• 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
• 5-7+ years of experience in frontend software engineering
• Prior experience working on (or with) established design systems
• 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

Desirable

• 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 scale-up company and build on an entirely net new system to set the engineering foundation and principles across the org
• As a Staff 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

• Lead the creation and evolution of the CookUnity design system in close partnership with our Design team
• Collaborate with other Engineering Foundation team members to rebuild key parts of CookUnity's frontend 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 Design teams to develop a flexible, modular design system that will support all CookUnity UIs
• Write and maintain tooling to validate the effectiveness and adoption of the design system
• Mentor teams and individuals to inspire innovation and maintain high technical standards throughout the engineering organization
