Remote Senior Software Engineer, Mobile Platform - Guest App (Remote, United States)

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.

We’ll be scaling even faster in 2026 to keep pace with our customer growth.

Why we’re looking for you

We’re looking for a senior engineer who gets excited about operating at real scale — not just shipping a single mobile app, but owning the platform and distribution system behind thousands of them.

Our Guest App powers thousands of branded restaurant apps across iOS and Android, and we ship tens of thousands of releases every month through Apple and Google’s ecosystems.

These apps are a key channel for restaurant owners — a direct way to build customer relationships and avoid expensive third-party delivery fees. We’re building an app experience that can compete with the best third-party apps, but it has to scale across tens of thousands of restaurants (and growing). Behind every release is a complex web of build pipelines, certificates, store workflows, compliance requirements, and operational safeguards — and we’re investing in making this system world-class.

We’re turning our Guest App into a true mobile platform: one that engineers across the company can confidently build on, and one that reliably ships changes to production at massive scale. This role is at the center of that transformation — improving developer experience, strengthening release automation, and increasing distribution reliability across thousands of live apps.

If you’ve ever wanted to own mobile distribution at scale — and build the tooling, guardrails, and automation that make it work — this is that opportunity.

This role is 100% remote and can be based anywhere in the United States or Canada. For San Francisco-based candidates: we have a new HQ in the Presidio for optional in-person collaboration opportunities!

Our Tech Stack

• Mobile: React Native (iOS + Android)

• Infrastructure & Tooling: Buildkite-driven mobile CI/CD and release automation at scale (iOS on MacStadium, Android on AWS), including store submission workflows and OTA updates.

• Backend & Services: Node.Js, MongoDB, PostgreSQL

• Language: TypeScript everywhere

The impact you will have

• Improve our mobile developer experience — from local setup to CI/CD — so engineers across the company can confidently contribute to the Guest App

• Build guardrails, tooling, and automation that make shipping changes to thousands of apps safe and reliable

• Increase release reliability and app freshness across Apple App Store and Google Play

• Strengthen observability, monitoring, and operational workflows to quickly diagnose and resolve issues

• Leverage AI tools to build automations at scale across our release and distribution workflows

• Partner closely with our internal launch team — power their workflows, hear feedback quickly, and iterate

• Contribute directly to the Guest App codebase when platform and product work intersect

• Take ownership of cross-cutting technical initiatives from design through production

• Provide thoughtful code reviews and technical leadership to raise the bar across the team

• Help us build a great team — interview candidates, refer great engineers, and shape engineering culture

What we’re looking for

• 4+ years of experience building and shipping production applications, including experience owning releases end-to-end

• Strong experience with TypeScript

• Experience building and maintaining mobile applications (React Native experience is a strong plus)

• Experience owning mobile app distribution — including shipping releases through the Apple App Store and/or Google Play, managing build pipelines, release workflows, versioning, and store compliance

• Experience improving CI/CD pipelines and automating build and release processes

• Track record of increasing release reliability and operational visibility (monitoring, alerting, debugging production issues)

• Comfort navigating complex and sometimes opaque external systems (e.G., Apple/Google developer workflows, certificates, provisioning, store review processes, compliance requirements)

• Experience at a product-focused startup, scale-up, or technology company

• 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 ambiguous, cross-cutting problems

Pay and benefits

• The estimated starting base salary range for this role is $190K-220K 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!
