About The Position

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. Our mobile apps are one of the most direct ways we help independent restaurant brands compete — and win. They provide a branded, high-quality experience that lets restaurants own their customer relationships, drive direct orders, and build loyalty without paying a cut to third-party platforms. Thousands of restaurant brands across the United States trust those apps to represent them every day. We're looking for a senior engineer who cares deeply about building software that doesn't just ship — it holds up. At our scale, reliability isn't optional. The engineers who thrive here obsess over making things better for customers, take ownership without being asked, and find ways to make the whole team faster and more confident in what they ship. This role sits at the intersection of platform excellence and customer impact. You'll own the systems and processes that keep our mobile apps healthy, current, and resilient — from release automation and observability to CI/CD and dependency health. We move fast, and we hold a high bar. Your job is to make sure those two things stay compatible as we grow. If you want to build and own the platform that powers mobile apps for thousands of restaurant brands — and raise the bar for how we do it — this is that role.

Requirements

4+ years of experience building and shipping production applications, including owning release processes end-to-end — not just participating in them
Strong experience with TypeScript
Experience building and maintaining mobile applications in production environments where quality and uptime actually matter — React Native experience is a strong plus; experience with managed device fleets, always-on hardware, or enterprise mobile deployments is a meaningful differentiator
Experience improving CI/CD pipelines and driving meaningful release automation — a track record of moving teams toward more reliable, less manual delivery processes
Hands-on experience with observability tooling — Datadog, OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, or equivalent. Experience instrumenting mobile or edge environments where standard tooling requires adaptation is a strong plus
Track record of improving operational visibility — building dashboards, defining alerting thresholds, diagnosing production issues, and making monitoring accessible to a whole team
Comfort navigating complex external systems — Apple/Google developer workflows, certificates, provisioning, MDM platforms, store review processes, and compliance requirements
Experience at a product-focused startup, scale-up, or technology company
Strong sense of ownership, excellent communication, and a proactive approach to identifying and solving ambiguous, cross-cutting problems

Responsibilities

Own the release pipeline — build and maintain the systems that take code from merged to production reliably, repeatably, and with minimal manual intervention across iOS and Android
Advance our release automation — build toward fully automated, push-button deploys and rollbacks with Slack-posted status and minimal manual intervention as the default path
Strengthen performance monitoring and observability — expand instrumentation, define alerting thresholds, build domain-level SLA dashboards, and ensure visibility across our React Native and Android environments, including offline-first scenarios
Improve CI/CD pipeline speed and reliability — reduce build times, improve E2E test stability, integrate feature flag automation, and level up the testing infrastructure engineers depend on every day
Scale observability knowledge across the team — create dashboards, runbooks, and instrumentation patterns that any engineer can use and extend, not just specialists
Keep the platform healthy — React Native and dependency updates, certificate management, Apple/Google store compliance, and MDM tooling as the fleet scales
Leverage AI tools to build automations at scale across release and distribution workflows
Help us build a great team — interview candidates, refer strong engineers, and shape engineering culture
