AI Usage & Engineering Excellence
At CookUnity B2B, AI is not a buzzword — it's part of how we build. We expect our engineers to actively integrate AI tools into their daily workflow to move faster and build better.
Expected
- Use AI-powered coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude / Codex) to accelerate development, code reviews, and debugging.
- Apply AI to automate repetitive engineering tasks — test generation, boilerplate, documentation, and internal tooling.
- Leverage AI assistants to explore architectural trade-offs, prototype quickly, and improve code quality.
- Stay current on AI tooling best practices and share learnings with the team.
Nice To Have
- Experience building AI-powered product features (e.g., smart recommendations, automated ordering, anomaly detection).
- Ability to evaluate and introduce new AI tools or frameworks to the team, establishing best practices and adoption playbooks.
- Prior work integrating LLM-based workflows, automation pipelines, or agentic tooling into production systems.
Minimum Requirements
- Proven experience designing and building cloud-native architectures: backend services, APIs, and full-stack web applications.
- Strong proficiency with NodeJS / NestJS, ReactJS, AWS, and MySQL (or equivalent relational databases).
- Experience with Java in a production environment.
- Solid understanding of distributed systems, service-oriented architecture, and API design.
- Experience with automated testing and CI/CD pipelines.
- Advanced English proficiency (written and spoken) — we're a distributed, international team.
Preferred Requirements
- Previous experience leading or mentoring engineers in a fast-moving product team.
- Excited by the opportunity to grow into a broader technical leadership role as the division scales.
- Experience with agile development methodologies and tools such as Jira.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills — able to work effectively across product, design, and operations.
- Comfortable working in a startup environment where priorities shift and ownership is broad.
- Experience with observability tools (e.g., Datadog), infrastructure-as-code, or platform migrations.
Familiarity with IoT, hardware integrations, or computer vision systems is a strong plus given our Smart Fridge roadmap.
