Senior React Native Engineer, Marketplace

About CookUnity

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.

• Stay up to date with React Native and mobile development trends to inform ongoing improvements.
• Write clean, maintainable, and testable code that aligns with our team’s standards.
• Experiment with and leverage AI tools to improve development speed, code quality, and engineering workflows.
