Staff Data Engineer

CookUnity

Staff Data Engineer

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.

  • Proficient in Java, Scala, or Python, with deep expertise in data processing tech and in writing complex SQL queries.
  • Proven track record of driving innovation within highly technical, distributed teams. You have driven complex projects to completion and are motivated by solving high-impact problems and building for the best user UX.
  • Proven track record in designing, building, and operating robust distributed data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Spark, Flink, Kafka), and handling large data sets.
  • Demonstrable experience of building, productionalizing, and optimizing real-time and batch data pipelines.
Preferred Requirements
  • Experience designing data architectures to power a variety of use cases, including enabling experimentation
  • Be opinionated on engineering best practices and help contribute to our strong engineering culture.
