Software Engineer, Full-Stack (Agents)

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.

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.

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

The 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.

Why We're Looking for You

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. AI Agents at Owner is a team with a singular mandate: build agents that let restaurant owners run their business through natural conversation, everywhere they work with Owner. This is one of the most important strategic bets at Owner, and the team is early enough that you will shape the architecture, platform, and products from the ground up.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of software engineering experience, with meaningful time shipping production LLM-powered or agentic features
• Fluency with tool calling, prompt engineering, and agent loops — you have built systems where the LLM is a first-class component, not a bolt-on
• Experience with eval frameworks and observability for non-deterministic systems (Braintrust, LangSmith, custom eval harnesses, or equivalent)
• Full-stack comfort — you can move between backend orchestration, tool design, and conversational UI without being blocked by hand-offs
• 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

Nice to Have

• Experience with RAG or retrieval systems at production quality
• Background in restaurant tech, commerce, or SMB operator tooling
• Contributions to open source agent frameworks, evals, or LLM tooling
• Experience growing and mentoring engineers on agentic AI patterns

Compensation and Benefits

The estimated starting base salary range for this role is $180K-192K 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!
