Argentina onlyAbout 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.

- Identify, document, and report defects and issues clearly and accurately using Jira, following up on their resolution
- Perform root cause analysis on production issues and collaborate with Engineering to implement preventive solutions
- Define and monitor key quality indicators (e.g., test coverage, flakiness rate, defect leakage) to drive continuous, data-informed improvements
Minimum Requirements:
- Strong technical foundation in software testing and quality assurance, with a proven track record of ensuring high product standards through both manual and automated testing.
- Hands-on experience designing, executing, and maintaining manual test plans and test cases, including exploratory and regression testing.
- Proficiency in test automation tools for web and mobile, such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, and Appium (or similar).
- Proficiency in contract testing and API testing frameworks, such as Postman, RestAssured (or similar).

- Strong understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC), agile methodologies, and QA processes.
- Experience in setting up observability and reporting mechanisms for test execution and coverage.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain and summarize complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment, adapting to changing priorities and driving impact.
