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.

Restaurant owners are too busy and too skeptical to make time for something they don't trust is going to matter. That's the real reason onboarding is expensive, launches take too long, and owners churn before they see value. At Owner, we've decided to solve this the right way: earn trust first, then ask for the next step. Launch is one of Owner's three must-win product-led growth (PLG) battles in 2026 — engineering an upgrade path from Grader all the way to POS where owners opt into each next step because they can see exactly what Owner has done for them.

We're looking for a full-stack engineer, who cares deeply about the product experience and has the range to own it end-to-end. You'll build the surfaces owners interact with as they move through the value ladder — the onboarding flows, the progress communications, the upgrade prompts, the AI-assisted setup moments.

This role is 100% remote and can be based anywhere in the United States and Canada.

Our Tech Stack

Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript
Backend: Node.js, TypeScript
Databases: MongoDB, PostgreSQL
TypeScript everywhere

The impact you'll have

Own the launch experience end-to-end — the product surfaces, flows, and communications that take an owner from Grader scan to live on Owner with minimal friction and maximum trust
Increase launches per launch specialist by building automation, tooling, and AI-assisted setup that reduces the manual effort required to get a customer live
Grow self-serve ARR by building upgrade flows and AI-powered moments that help owners discover and adopt more of the Owner platform on their own terms
Surface proof of value at every step — showing owners what Owner has done for them and why the next step makes sense
Partner with the AI Agents and Owner App teams to integrate AI-powered features into the launch journey

What we're looking for

5+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time shipping customer-facing product features
Extensive TypeScript experience, with strong React skills — you're comfortable owning the full frontend of a feature, not just contributing to one
Experience scaling with our frontend stack (React, Next.js) and/or backend stack (Node.js, MongoDB)
Experience building onboarding, activation, or upgrade flows where user experience and communication of value drove the outcome
Experience at a product-focused startup or scale-up where you shipped end-to-end with a small team
High degree of cross-functional collaboration — past colleagues in product, design, and business would speak highly of your teamwork
Strong sense of ownership and drive, excellent communication, and a proactive approach to identifying and solving problems

Pay and benefits

The estimated starting base salary range for this role is $210K-230K depending on level, location and experience, plus a generous pre-IPO equity package
Other benefits include comprehensive health coverage, work from anywhere (remote-first workplace), unlimited PTO - plus extra fun perks!
