Job Description
Food has lost its soul to modern convenience. And with it, has lost the power to nourish, inspire, and connect us. So in 2018, CookUnity was founded as the first-of-its-kind platform that connects the world with the source of truly great food: chefs. Today, CookUnity delivers 35 million meals a year from the industry’s best chefs to homes all over the country. Fresh. Ready-to-eat. And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul.
Unwilling to stop there, CookUnity is expanding beyond delivery to become an ever-innovating marketplace focused on our singular mission: empower Chefs to nourish the world.
If that mission has you hungry in more ways than one, you’ve found the right job posting.
About the Team:
The Chef Tech team builds and maintains the tools that empower chefs on our platform to operate efficiently and profitably. As part of the Data Engineering team, we ensure that chefs have access to data-driven insights, performance analytics, and operational tools to enhance their experience.
The team is responsible for three key areas:
- Chef Products & Insights – Developing tools that help chefs analyze their performance, optimize menu offerings, and enhance their experience on CookUnity.

This engineer will play a pivotal role in creating seamless, intuitive, and high-performance chef-facing applications while also contributing to backend services in NodeJS/TypeScript.
This role requires someone who can own frontend architecture decisions, advocate for best practices, and work closely with designers and product managers to create an outstanding user experience. While the focus is on frontend development, the engineer will also contribute to backend services that support chef tools and data products.
As part of the Ops Engineering R&D squad, you will also have the opportunity to explore new technologies and contribute to proof-of-concept projects aimed at improving CookUnity’s operations across chef, fulfillment, and logistics.

- Design and implement chef-facing applications using ReactJS and React Native, ensuring high performance, usability, and accessibility.
- Develop scalable and maintainable frontend architecture, following best practices in modularization, state management, and performance optimization.
- Build and maintain backend services in NodeJS/TypeScript, integrating with our data pipelines and chef tools.
- Collaborate closely with designers, product managers, and other engineers to create intuitive and efficient user interfaces.
- Advocate for frontend best practices, including code quality, testing, and performance optimization.
- Contribute to the Ops Engineering R&D squad, experimenting with new technologies and building POCs to improve operational efficiency.
- Ensure our chef products are highly available, reliable, and scalable, supporting a growing community of chefs on our platform.
- Write clean, well-documented, and testable code, contributing to a culture of engineering excellence.
Minimum Requirements:
- 5+ years of experience in frontend development using ReactJS and React Native.
- Proficiency in TypeScript and NodeJS, with experience building backend services.
- Strong knowledge of frontend performance optimization, component design, and state management.
- Experience working with RESTful APIs and GraphQL.
- Familiarity with frontend testing frameworks (Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, etc.).
- Excellent problem-solving skills, with a passion for user experience and frontend craftsmanship.
- Ability to collaborate in a fast-paced startup environment and take ownership of features end-to-end.
- This is a hybrid position, requiring on-site presence at the Brooklyn office 2-3 days per week (Tuesday-Thursday).
Preferred Requirements:
- Experience with mobile development using React Native.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and frontend build systems.
- Background in data-driven applications, data visualization, or analytics products.

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
