Job Description

CookUnity is revolutionizing the food industry by connecting consumers directly with top chefs through their innovative platform. As an AI-Native Software Engineer, you'll join a dynamic team that's reimagining how people discover and enjoy amazing food. The role is perfect for an early-career engineer who excels at AI-assisted development and can build faster with AI than most seniors without it.

You'll be working on the platform team, where rapid experimentation and technical curiosity are highly valued. The position offers a unique opportunity to be the team's secret weapon, helping Product Managers turn ideas into working prototypes at unprecedented speeds. You'll be at the forefront of implementing AI solutions, from chef onboarding bots to menu analysis pipelines.

The ideal candidate has grown up with LLMs as their coding companion, has strong opinions about prompt engineering and RAG patterns, and ships code constantly. You'll need 3 years of professional experience, though your project portfolio and GitHub presence matter more than traditional credentials. The role requires expertise in AI development tools, LLM integration, and full-stack development capabilities.

Benefits include comprehensive health insurance, 401k, generous PTO, a unique 5-year sabbatical program, and monthly credits to enjoy CookUnity's chef-crafted meals. The company offers both US and Canadian benefit packages, supporting a hybrid work model in either New York or Toronto.

This is an exceptional opportunity for someone passionate about AI technology who wants to make a real impact on how people experience food. You'll be part of a mission-driven company that's delivered over 35 million meals and is expanding beyond delivery to become an innovative marketplace focused on empowering chefs to nourish the world.
