## About the role

Using Owner should feel like having a team of great operators, engineers, and marketers working for you. 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!

## What they're looking for

- This role is 100% remote and can be based anywhere in the United States or Canada
- A track record of finding the problems worth solving. You've looked at a messy business, figured out what actually matters, sized the prize, and picked the right thing to work on without anyone handing you a roadmap
- Root-cause instincts. You dig until you actually understand the problem instead of its symptoms. You rabbithole, but you also know when you've gone too deep
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs, integrating the models and APIs themselves: agents and assistants, structured output, evals, context engineering. You turn concepts into working code
- 3+ years of experience in a 0-1 operations or startup role. We treat every build as a 0-1 problem to solve from scratch
- You move fast, work scrappy, and thrive in the chaos of an early-stage startup environment, especially when things are ambiguous and timelines are tight
