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.

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!
