Job description

About Owner Owner is the AI-native system local business owners use to succeed, starting with restaurants. We’re building the system that replaces the many tools owners use to run their business. It powers everything from the restaurant’s website, online ordering, CRM, POS, and more.

Product philosophy Most small business software makes owners do the work to get what they want: sales growth and profit growth. Owner does the work for them agentically. Our system drives demand, converts it, and helps operators run their business day to day. As it improves, the business improves with it. Using Owner should feel like having a team of great operators, engineers, and marketers working for you.

Our vision

We’re starting by helping independent restaurants succeed online.

But it’s not just restaurants that need our help. Most local businesses are struggling with these same problems. Huge technology corporations are taking their customers, bleeding their profits, and making it hard for them to survive.

Once we nail the solution for restaurants – we’ll scale it into every other local business type.

In the future we envision, tens of millions of local business owners will use our technology to succeed in the digital age.

Our traction

Since 2020, we've generated tens of millions in revenue and processed over a billion dollars of online orders. 1 in 5 Americans have used an Owner.com website.

More importantly, we’ve helped over 20,000 restaurant owners, and saved them nearly $200 million in fees.

Our team

Our team is now in the low hundreds. We’ve got top talent from the most successful companies in SMB software, including: Shopify, HubSpot, DoorDash, ServiceTitan, Rappi, Faire and Stripe.

We’ll be scaling even faster in 2026 to keep pace with our customer growth.

Where we work

Owner is a remote-first, global company headquartered in San Francisco, with a sales hub in Toronto. For a few of our roles we prioritize in-person collaboration at one of our office locations. Most of our teammates are distributed throughout the globe. Please review the role description and discuss with your recruiter for more details on location!

Why we’re looking for you

We are looking for a mission-driven senior engineer who is passionate about their craft and committed to building incredible products for our customers.

This role is 100% remote and can be based anywhere in the United States or Canada. For San Francisco-based candidates: we have a new HQ in the Presidio for optional in-person collaboration opportunities!

Take ownership of projects from conception all the way to shipping, ensuring modular, maintainable, and high-quality code

Deliver value to our end users across our entire system while considering performance, scale, security, and maintainability

Shape our product direction by talking to users and collaborating with other teammates in feature brainstorms/roadmap planning

Provide thoughtful code reviews and technical guidance to peers, helping to improve overall team quality

What we’re looking for

5+ years of experience building applications

Experience scaling with frontend stack (React, Next.js , etc.) and/or our backend stack (Nodejs, Mongo, AWS)

Experience at product-focused startup/scale-up or technology company

Dedicated to continuous professional development and possessing a lifelong-learner mindset

Strong sense of ownership and drive, excellent communication, and a proactive approach to identifying and solving problems
