Food has lost its soul to modern convenience. 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. And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul.

Every team at CookUnity has workflows that could be 10-100x more effective with the right automation. But unlocking that requires someone who can see the opportunity, design the future-state process, build it, and keep it running. You'll embed directly with the cross functional AI team as a dedicated AI engineer.

Your job isn't to write code faster with AI. You'll map existing workflows end-to-end, identify where throwing compute at a task creates step-change value, and then build the solution: sometimes that's an agent, sometimes it's a deterministic internal app, sometimes it's a combination. You'll architect the automated version, build it, and then own it in production: tracking KPIs, managing evals after model changes, and continuously improving.

You'll spend as much time interviewing stakeholders and mapping data flows as you will writing code. You'll report to the Head of Applied AI. Map the team's highest-value workflows end-to-end: structured and unstructured data flows, decision points, handoffs, and bottlenecks Build and Ship APIs, CLIs, MCP servers, spreadsheets, data warehouses, workflow orchestration, databases, and whatever else needs connecting You'll use AI tools to move fast, but you own the quality of what ships Monitor performance, track KPIs, and explain outcomes to stakeholders Manage evals and regression testing after model updates, prompt changes,



or upstream data shifts Level up your team’s compute fluency and increase AI adoption Within 60 days, you've mapped 3 high value workflows and shipped your first production tool (agent or app) that the team uses daily You can show a clear before/after: hours saved, error rates reduced, throughput increased, or entirely new capabilities unlocked Your agents and apps are running reliably in production with monitoring, evals, and documented runbooks Technical fluency to connect systems and build production workflows.

You're comfortable with APIs, CLIs, MCP, databases, and workflow orchestration. You can wire up business systems without waiting for someone else to do it. You don't reach for AI when a cron job will do, and you don't build brittle rule engines when the task needs reasoning.

Strong foundation in at least one programming language (TypeScript, Python, Kotlin or similar) and ability to build full-stack when needed. Hands-on experience with LLMs in production, not just prompting, but building reliable systems: structured outputs, eval frameworks, error handling, human-in-the-loop design. You'll interview stakeholders, present business cases, and explain technical tradeoffs to non-technical leaders.

You stay current with the latest releases and capabilities from Anthropic, OpenAI,



Vercel, OpenClaw, and others in the agentic/applied AI space. You can talk about what shipped last month and what it changes. Side projects, work projects, open source, anything with real users.

You understand git, version control workflows, and basic security and safety practices when deploying AI into production environments. You've written about how you think about Applied AI (blog posts, threads, internal docs). You've taught non-technical people to use AI tools effectively.
