Job description

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.

About the role

CookUnity is reimagining how people discover and enjoy amazing food. We are in the process of redefining and rebuilding our platform, but also how we build. Are you generalist technologist who can switch hats—Product Manager, Product Owner, individual contributor—sometimes all in the same afternoon. If you tinker with prompt chains on nights-and-weekends, have opinions on what the latest large language models are good at, build tools to solve your own problems, and love turning half-baked ideas into prototypes and demo code, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll tackle

• Own a slice of the rebuild from discovery through delivery working directly with design, engineering, and data.
• Map messy business needs (pricing, menu curation, internal ops tools) into clear problem statements, events, and service boundaries.
• Rethink the processes from internal note-taking to packing deliveries. You'll keep your eyes open for opportunities and improvements for your team, project and org.
• Prototype AI-powered features (think “Why does this price show up?” explainers or chef-facing copilots) using Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, Codex, or whatever tool gets the job done.
• Pair-program or pair-create in the tools of your choice; contribute lightweight frontend or schema changes when it unblocks the team.
• Define success metrics, analytics, and run experiments / A-B tests.
• Present trade-offs to executives one hour and coach a junior developer the next—same clarity, different depth.
• Keep an eye on new tools and patterns; if a weekend hack cuts cycle time in half, champion it on Monday.

We hope you have

• 4+ years in product, design, or engineering (you’ve shipped real stuff and owned outcomes). You have strong product sense.
• Hands-on experience integrating LLMs or automation APIs into a product or internal tool.
• Comfort with system-level thinking—DDD, event storming, or just a knack for drawing boxes and arrows that make sense.
• Enough code literacy to tweak a React component, or write a decent SQL query.
• A bias for action and strong opinions, loosely held—you push hard, then pivot fast when the data says so.
• A relentless curiosity for new tech and software (you don’t know them all yet, but you want to). You look at AI as a partner.
• Clear, concise communication across audiences—C-suite, chefs, designers, and engineers.
• Start-up or scale-up experience. You are used to fast moving and changing environments.

How We Work

• Linearfor issue tracking
• Slackfor async & vibes
• Cursor/Windsurf/v0for AI-assisted prototyping and dev speed-ups

Location

Hybrid-flex with a strong preference for teammates who can collaborate in our Toronto office several days a week. (We’ll make exceptions for extraordinary candidates.)

️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

️Wellness perks: access to a nutritional coach and fitness subsidies to build a healthy lifestyle
