About CookUnity:

Food has lost its soul to modern convenience. And with it, 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 50 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:

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.

Minimum Requirements:

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.

Preferred Requirements:

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.

Benefits:

💸 Get paid in USD.

🗺 Work remotely: design the life that you want.

⛱ Enjoy 15 business days of vacation each year from the start date.

🎄 16 fully paid Argentinean holidays.

🩺 Healthcare Benefit: Monthly stipend to use in your preferred healthcare provider.

A quick note for all candidates
We’ve recently seen an increase in recruitment scams across the industry, and we want to make sure you (and your data) stay safe while applying to CookUnity. We also want you to know that we take this seriously — sometimes, as part of our process, we may ask for a brief “proof of humanity” to confirm that we’re connecting with a real person, not an impersonator. Here are a few tips to help you protect yourself and know what to expect from us:

Apply only through our official channels. All open roles are listed on our official careers page: careers.cookunity.com
Our recruiters are real people — and easy to verify. You can always find them on LinkedIn with verified profiles. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out to us on our official LinkedIn Company Page.
We only communicate through official CookUnity channels. That means emails ending in @cookunity.com and interviews held through official company platforms (Google Meet or Zoom) — never WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS.
We’ll never ask for payment or personal financial details. If anyone does, please don’t share any information and let us know right away.

If something ever feels off or you’re unsure about a message, we’d much rather you double-check with us. You can always contact us directly through any of our social media channels. We appreciate your interest in joining CookUnity — and we care about keeping your experience (and safety) as genuine as possible.
