About the role

Join CookUnity’s Content & Creator team to build immersive, chef-centric experiences. Embedded in a cross-functional feature team collaborating with Product, Design, and engineers. Drive technical excellence, champion best practices, and lead initiatives for interactivity, performance, and visual storytelling. Build and ship high-quality, engaging, user-facing features across mobile and web apps. Champion performance, reliability, and code quality across the React Native codebase. Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other engineers. Collaborate closely with Product and Design teams to define and implement exceptional user experiences.

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: 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.
