Senior Software Engineer, Backend (Grader)

**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** 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. 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. It's one of the most visible products we build and one of the fastest\-growing, with significant scale growth ahead and new AI\-powered scoring capabilities launching on top of it. The backend powering all of this needs to be fast, resilient, and bu
