Ship Owner Jobs (NOW HIRING)

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
At Owner, we help independent restaurant brands compete - and win. Our mobile apps are one of the most direct ways we do that: a branded, high-quality experience that lets restaurants own their customer relationships, drive direct orders, and build loyalty without paying a cut to third-party platforms. Thousands of restaurant brands across the United States trust those apps to represent them every day.
We're looking for a senior engineer who cares deeply about building software that doesn't just ship - it holds up. At our scale, reliability isn't optional. The engineers who thrive here obsess over making things better for customers, take ownership without being asked, and find ways to make the whole team faster and more confident in what they ship.
This role sits at the intersection of platform excellence and customer impact. You'll own the systems and processes that keep our mobile apps healthy, current, and resilient - from release automation and observability to CI/CD and dependency health. We move fast, and we hold a high bar. Your job is to make sure those two things stay compatible as we grow.
If you want to build and own the platform that powers mobile apps for thousands of restaurant brands - and raise the bar for how we do it - this is that role.
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!
Our Tech Stack

• Mobile: React Native (iOS + Android), Kotlin, Kotlin Multiplatform
• Infrastructure & Tooling: Buildkite-driven mobile CI/CD and release automation at scale
• Observability: Datadog
• Backend & Services: Node.js, MongoDB, PostgreSQL
• Language: TypeScript everywhere

The impact you will have

• Own the release pipeline - build and maintain the systems that take code from merged to production reliably, repeatably, and with minimal manual intervention across iOS and Android
• Advance our release automation - build toward fully automated, push-button deploys and rollbacks with Slack-posted status and minimal manual intervention as the default path
• Strengthen performance monitoring and observability - expand instrumentation, define alerting thresholds, build domain-level SLA dashboards, and ensure visibility across our React Native and Android environments, including offline-first scenarios
• Improve CI/CD pipeline speed and reliability - reduce build times, improve E2E test stability, integrate feature flag automation, and level up the testing infrastructure engineers depend on every day
• Scale observability knowledge across the team - create dashboards, runbooks, and instrumentation patterns that any engineer can use and extend, not just specialists
• Keep the platform healthy - React Native and dependency updates, certificate management, Apple/Google store compliance, and MDM tooling as the fleet scales
• Leverage AI tools to build automations at scale across release and distribution workflows
• Help us build a great team - interview candidates, refer strong engineers, and shape engineering culture

What we're looking for

• 4+ years of experience building and shipping production applications, including owning release processes end-to-end - not just participating in them
• Strong experience with TypeScript
• Experience building and maintaining mobile applications in production environments where quality and uptime actually matter - React Native experience is a strong plus; experience with managed device fleets, always-on hardware, or enterprise mobile deployments is a meaningful differentiator
• Experience improving CI/CD pipelines and driving meaningful release automation - a track record of moving teams toward more reliable, less manual delivery processes
• Hands-on experience with observability tooling - Datadog, OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, or equivalent. Experience instrumenting mobile or edge environments where standard tooling requires adaptation is a strong plus
• Track record of improving operational visibility - building dashboards, defining alerting thresholds, diagnosing production issues, and making monitoring accessible to a whole team
• Comfort navigating complex external systems - Apple/Google developer workflows, certificates, provisioning, MDM platforms, store review processes, and compliance requirements
• Experience at a product-focused startup, scale-up, or technology company
• Strong sense of ownership, excellent communication, and a proactive approach to identifying and solving ambiguous, cross-cutting problems

Pay and benefits

• The estimated starting base salary range for this role is $190K-220K 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!
