AI Native Engineer, Growth Marketing

About this role

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.

The Role

AI is no longer a roadmap item — it's the operating system for how modern growth teams win. We're hiring a AI Native Engineer, Growth Marketing to be the hands-on builder who embeds AI into every corner of how our Growth team works: performance marketing, creative production, CRM, landing pages, growth ops, and beyond.

This is a rare hybrid role. You're equal parts engineer and growth practitioner — someone who can write a Python script in the morning, ship a Braze-connected AI workflow by afternoon, and explain the business impact to a non-technical stakeholder by EOD. You don't need to have done this at scale before — you need to be obsessed with building at the frontier of what's possible and have the technical chops to make it real.

You'll report directly to the Head of Growth and work across every subteam in the Growth org as their embedded AI engineer.

Responsibilities:

• Performance Marketing: Build AI-powered tools to automate bid strategy analysis, budget pacing alerts, creative performance scoring, and anomaly detection across paid channels (SEM, Meta, Affiliate, YouTube, etc.)

• Creative Studio: Develop AI workflows for ad copy generation, creative brief automation, image asset variation at scale, and creative performance feedback loops between analytics and the studio team

• CRM & Lifecycle: Implement AI-driven personalization and send-time optimization across email, SMS, push, and in-app channels; build agentic workflows that pull Snowflake data, generate segment logic, and trigger Braze campaigns with minimal manual intervention

• Landing Pages & Conversion: Automate LP variant generation, headline testing ideation, and personalization logic by audience segment or traffic source

• Growth Ops: Build internal AI tools — dashboards, Slack bots, report generators — that reduce repetitive analytical work and accelerate decision-making across the team

• Growth Product: Partner with Product and Engineering to identify where AI-powered features (recommendations, dynamic content, smart nudges) can accelerate funnel conversion and retention

• Tooling & Infrastructure: Evaluate, implement, and maintain the AI/ML toolstack that powers Growth — from LLM APIs to workflow orchestration tools to data pipelines

What Success Looks Like

• A measurable reduction…
