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.
You will be joining CookUnity’s Content & Creator team. We’re reimagining the customer experience to be more immersive and chef-centric—bringing rich content, short-form video, and storytelling to the forefront of how users discover meals and connect with our creators. Our mission is to transform the platform from a utility into an experience that celebrates culinary creativity and deepens engagement with our chef community.
The Role:We’re looking for a seasoned Staff React Native Engineer to join our Content & Creator team. In this role, you’ll be embedded in a cross-functional feature team, collaborating closely with Product, Design, and fellow engineers to deliver rich, high-impact user experiences. You’ll help shape the future of our user-facing platform—driving technical excellence, championing best practices, and leading initiatives that push the boundaries of interactivity, performance, and visual storytelling. Your work will play a key role in evolving CookUnity into a more content-forward, immersive, and chef-centric platform.
Responsibilities:- Build and ship high-quality, engaging, user-facing features across our mobile and web apps.
- Champion performance, reliability, and code quality across the React Native codebase.
- Collaborate closely with Product and Design teams to define and implement exceptional user experiences.
- Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other engineers, helping elevate engineering standards across the team.
- 7+ years of experience with React Native and a strong grasp of the mobile development ecosystem.
- Fluency in TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and other core web technologies.
- Exposure to native iOS stack.
- Strong track record of collaborating with Product and Design to build impactful mobile experiences.
- Ability to translate designs—from low-fidelity wireframes to polished redlines—into clean, maintainable code.
- Strong product and design sensibility; you care about the “why” behind the feature.
- A self-starter mindset; you take ownership and drive initiatives with minimal oversight.
- Experience designing, building, and maintaining high-quality consumer applications at scale.
- Familiarity with frontend tooling such as Expo/EAS, Storybook, Jest, or Restyle.
- Experience in (or enthusiasm for) working at a fast-moving startup, where ambiguity is embraced and ownership is encouraged.
