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 http://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!
Owner is the leading all-in-one platform for independent restaurants. Operators use Owner to run their online ordering, websites, menus, marketing, and customer experience. Tens of thousands of restaurants depend on us every day to run their business.
Grader is Owner's free restaurant health report. A restaurant owner submits their URL and gets a clear view of where they're losing money online: website performance, Google presence, menu quality, and more. It's one of the most visible products we build and one of the fastest-growing, with significant scale growth ahead and new AI-powered scoring capabilities launching on top of it. The backend powering all of this needs to be fast, resilient, and built to scale.
If you want to own the backend of one of Owner's most strategically important products and set the platform foundation before a major expansion — this is that role.
This role is 100% remote and can be based anywhere in the United States and Canada.
Our Tech Stack
Backend: Node.js, TypeScript
Databases: MongoDB, PostgreSQL
Infrastructure & Observability: Datadog, AWS, Temporal
The impact you'll have
Own the backend services and data pipelines that power Grader scans end-to-end — from ingesting third-party presence signals (Google, Yelp, menus, LLM GEO signals) to serving results reliably at scale
Harden the platform before expansion — reduce latency, increase uptime, and build the observability and alerting layer the team needs to confidently scale Grader into new scoring dimensions
Establish platform foundations — shared abstractions, operational runbooks, and architectural patterns that reduce toil and give other engineers a reliable base to build on
Partner closely with PLG product and the AI Agents team as Grader evolves into a broader AI-powered tool for restaurant owners
7+ years, with meaningful time owning backend services in production
Experience building and operating data pipelines, third-party integrations, and async processing systems at scale
Proven track record improving system reliability — observability, alerting, incident reduction, and making operational health a team habit
Experience at a product-focused startup or scale-up where you owned systems end-to-end
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
The estimated starting base salary range for this role is $240K-260K 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!
