Senior Full Stack Engineer, Acquisition

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 Acquisition Engineering team owns the new-visitor journey end-to-end — from the first landing page through sign-up, meal selection, and checkout. Our northstar is conversion rate: we run high-velocity experiments on high-traffic surfaces where small improvements translate directly into business growth. We recently rebuilt the acquisition funnel from the ground up and now operate a modern, experiment-ready platform.
The role:

As a Staff Engineer (front-end or full-stack) on the Acquisition team, you will be the technical leader of the surfaces where the business is won: you will drive architecture across the funnel and landing pages, raise the team's bar through mentorship and standards, and act as the engineering counterpart to Product and Data on experiment design and measurement quality. You will spend part of your time hands-on and part multiplying the team's output.
Responsibilities:

- Mentor and educate developers on clean code methodologies through knowledge sharing and PR reviews.

- Work cross-functionally (Product, Design, and Data) to develop and deploy applications and features on time with high quality.

- Design and uphold the technical standard for A/B experiments on acquisition surfaces (feature gates, exposure logging, tracking integrity) — including experiments run by adjacent teams on our surfaces.

- Drive observability and performance as first-class concerns: RUM instrumentation, funnel-step metrics, and cross-device/browser quality.

- Lead complex integrations with backend platform services (auth, pricing, promotions) as we evolve our platform.

- Implement best practices to enable the team to ship quality code faster.

- Helping to have higher levels of uptime & supporting the on-call rotation that will help the business run 24/7.

Minimum Requirements:

- Prior experience building and shipping complex customer facing applications at scale.

- Strong experience with modern React and Next.js.

- Hands-on experience with A/B testing / feature-flag platforms (Statsig, LaunchDarkly, or similar) and experiment instrumentation.

- Experience with web analytics and telemetry tools (Segment, Datadog RUM, or similar) and using data to drive engineering decisions.

- Experience working with CMS-driven sites (Contentful or similar).

- Passion for shipping world-class products for ou
