About Owner

Owner gives you the same tools that major national brands use to drive sales. Online ordering proven to grow sales. Mobile app with rewards. And more. Backed by Redpoint.

About the role

Owner is the leading all-in-one platform for independent restaurants, and 2026 is the year we engineer a true product-led growth motion: restaurant owners should be able to go from discovering Owner all the way to running their whole business on it, opting into each next step because they trust it's worth it.

What they're looking for

  • These two teams sit at the center of Owner's product-led growth motion this year - systems directly in the critical path for how independent restaurants activate, launch, and show up online
  • ~3 years of experience in a software engineering management role leading fullstack product engineering teams, preferably in high-growth environments
  • A track record of leading high-performing, engaged full-stack engineering teams - not purely backend-platform or purely frontend teams
  • Strong product sense and an instinct for balancing speed, quality, and user impact
  • Experience with modern frontend frameworks (e.g. React) and backend systems (e.g. Node.js)
  • High degree of cross-functional collaboration - past colleagues in product, design, and business would speak highly of your teamwork

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.

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...
