Senior Software Engineer, Identity and Access Management

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.

Every restaurant owner, employee, partner, and internal teammate depends on secure, reliable access to the right tools at the right time — whether they’re ringing up orders, balancing the books, or supporting customers behind the scenes. We’re building the next generation of our identity and access platform, and we need an exceptional engineer to help us get there. You’ll join a small, high-trust team with direct ownership over login, session management, permissions, roles, service-to-service auth, and the APIs and infrastructure every product team at Owner builds on top of. This is a rare opportunity to shape a foundational security platform at a fast-growing company — one that has to scale with our product surface, our customer base, and the complexity of the restaurants we serve. This role is 100% remote and can be based anywhere in the United States or Canada.
