Owner is an AI-native platform helping local business owners (starting with restaurants) succeed by replacing the fragmented tools they currently use. The company powers websites, online ordering, CRM, POS, and more—with an agentic AI system that drives demand, converts it, and helps operators run their business day-to-day.
The Guest Acquisition team is building Owner's self-driving, AI-powered growth engine for profitable customer acquisition. This engine identifies what makes each restaurant unique, evaluates local demand, assesses competition, and automatically generates relevant website pages and content while monitoring and evolving strategy based on data. A core focus is SEO and AEO/GEO optimization at scale.
As Senior Software Engineer for Guest Acquisition, you will own the technical strategy for SEO/AEO systems, translating growth goals into prioritized roadmaps, clear metrics, and durable system architecture. You'll lead end-to-end delivery of major initiatives—new ingestion sources, indexing and serving improvements, content generation workflows—from design through launch and operational readiness. You'll raise the bar on reliability, quality, and observability across pipelines and services, building guardrails, alerting, dashboards, and incident-ready runbooks. You'll drive a rigorous experimentation and measurement loop with product, data, and cross-functional teams to validate impact and continuously improve performance. You'll also mentor engineers, set engineering standards, review designs, and align across teams.
The role requires strong technical leadership and end-to-end ownership; familiarity with SEO systems at scale (crawling, indexing, content generation, templating, structured data, internal linking, canonicalization, internationalization); data and experimentation rigor; operational excellence in building reliable pipelines and services; systems thinking across the stack; and cross-functional partnership skills.
Owner has generated tens of millions in revenue since 2020, processed over a billion dollars in online orders, and helped over 20,000 restaurant owners save nearly $200 million in fees. The team includes top talent from Shopify, HubSpot, DoorDash, ServiceTitan, Rappi, Faire, and Stripe. The company is remote-first and globally distributed, headquartered in San Francisco with a sales hub in Toronto.
