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

The Menu Team is part of CookUnity’s Marketplace Zone, which focuses on creating a seamless and scalable platform that connects chefs with consumers. As the heart of the platform, the menu represents one of the most important interaction users have with CookUnity, enabling them to browse, explore, and choose meals.

The team is responsible for two key areas:

• User‑Facing Menu Experience: Provide the best menu exploration experience to our users across mobile and web. This involves experimentation and iteration in search, discovery, meal displays, and menu taxonomy to maximize engagement and satisfaction.
• Provider and Source of Truth for Menu Data: Responsible for the accuracy, stability, and availability of critical consumer‑facing menu data that powers multiple parts of the platform, both within and outside the Marketplace Zone.

The Role

We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer to join the Menu Team, where you will play a key role in building and optimizing backend services and APIs that power CookUnity’s menu experience. This role involves working on the Server‑Driven UI (SDUI) service within our Backend‑for‑Frontend (BFF) architecture, as well as developing and maintaining backend services and databases.

As part of a cross‑functional team, you will collaborate closely with product managers, mobile/web engineers, and designers to create an engaging menu experience. This is a great opportunity for a semi‑senior engineer eager to work on challenging technical problems while contributing to customer‑facing products that directly impact user engagement and satisfaction.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain scalable backend services and APIs that power the menu experience across mobile and web
• Implement and optimize the BFF (Backend‑for‑Frontend) layer, ensuring efficient data handling and low‑latency API responses
• Collaborate with frontend, mobile, and product teams to design and implement new menu‑related features
• Optimize database queries and caching strategies for high‑performance API responses
• Improve monitoring, observability, and logging for backend services
• Participate in code reviews and engineering discussions, contributing to technical best practices

Minimum Requirements

• +5 years of experience with backend development, with expertise in Kotlin or other JVM‑based language
• +5 years of experience with backend development, with Node.js and TypeScript
• +5 years of experience with TypeScript and ReactJS web apps, or similar
• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and backend‑for‑frontend (BFF)
• Experience working with SQL databases (PostgreSQL or MySQL) and optimizing queries
• Familiarity with service‑oriented architecture and microservices
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills for backend services and APIs
• Solid understanding of performance optimization, caching, and API response efficiency
• Prior experience working on (or with) established design systems
• Advanced English communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams

Preferred Requirements

• Knowledge of AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud infrastructure
• Familiarity with observability tools like DataDog and logging frameworks
• Proficiency with leveraging AI coding tools in day‑to‑day development (e.g., Cursor, Windsurf, or similar)

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 with your preferred healthcare provider
• 5‑year sabbatical: After 5 years with CookUnity, you get a 4‑week paid sabbatical
• Paid family leave
• Compassionate leave: 3‑5 days each time the need arises
• Customize the benefits that suit your needs! Access a range of perks tailored to you, including learning opportunities, wellness memberships, delivery apps, and more through our comprehensive benefit platform
• Personalized English coach
