Owner does the work for them agentically.\nOur system drives demand, converts it, and helps operators run their business day to day. As it improves, the business improves with it.\nUsing Owner should feel like having a team of great operators, engineers, and marketers working for you.\nOur vision\nWe’re starting by helping independent restaurants succeed online.\nBut 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.\nOnce we nail the solution for restaurants - we’ll scale it into every other local business type.\nIn the future we envision, tens of millions of local business owners will use our technology to succeed in the digital age.\nOur traction\nSince 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.\nMore importantly, we’ve helped over 20,000 restaurant owners, and saved them nearly $200 million in fees.\nOur team\nOur 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.\nWe’ll be scaling even faster in 2026 to keep pace with our customer growth.\nWhere we work\nOwner 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!\nRole Overview\nOwner is the leading all-in-one platform for independent restaurants, and 2026 is the year we engineer a true product-led growth motion: restaurant owners should be able to go from discovering Owner all the way to running their whole business on it, opting into each next step because they trust it's worth it.\nAs we scale that motion, we're expanding our product engineering leadership to accelerate our ability to ship fast, delight restaurant owners, and build infrastructure that scales with us. As an Engineering Manager for Launch and Websites, you'll lead teams of fullstack engineers building the core product surfaces owners rely on every day - from the self-serve launch journey that takes them from Grader to POS, to the website design, builder, and generation systems that put their brand online. This role is equal parts product intuition and technical execution. You'll be trusted to make fast, high-quality decisions, ship impactful features, and grow a team that embodies engineering excellence.\nWe move with urgency, bias toward simplicity, and expect our leaders to be hands-on when needed. If you're energized by ownership, decisive execution, and solving real problems for small business owners, we'd love to hear from you.\nWhy we’re looking for you\nToday, most restaurant owners lose an enormous amount of time and trust just getting live on Owner and getting a website that actually represents their brand, instead of running their business. Launch owns the self-serve journey that takes an owner from Grader all the way to POS - engineering the automation and trust signals that let owners opt into each next step without needing a person to walk them through it. Websites owns the design, builder, and AI-powered generation systems that put a restaurant's brand online, closing the customization gaps that drive churn and increasing the number of high-quality sites we launch.\nThese two teams sit at the center of Owner's product-led growth motion this year - systems directly in the critical path for how independent restaurants activate, launch, and show up online.\nWe're looking for an Engineering Manager who cares deeply about the craft and the team behind it - someone who's led full-stack engineers building customer-facing product end-to-end, and who's excited to build a strong, durable engineering culture across two of our most strategically important product areas.\nOur Stack\nFrontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript\n\nBackend: Node.js, TypeScript\n\nDatabases: MongoDB, PostgreSQL\n\nInfrastructure & Observability: Temporal, Datadog, AWS\n\nTypeScript everywhere\n\nWhat we’re looking for\n~3 years of experience in a software engineering management role leading fullstack product engineering teams, preferably in high-growth environments\n\nA track record of leading high-performing, engaged full-stack engineering teams - not purely backend-platform or purely frontend teams\n\nStrong product sense and an instinct for balancing speed, quality, and user impact\n\nExperience with modern frontend frameworks (e.g. React) and backend systems (e.g. Node.js)\n\nHigh degree of cross-functional collaboration - past colleagues in product, design, and business would speak highly of your teamwork\n\nA plus: growth or PLG experience (self-serve activation, onboarding, upgrade flows) - desirable, not required\n\nA plus: experience applying LLMs or agents (research, enrichment, next-best-action, automated diagnosis)\n\nCompensation and benefits\nThe estimated base salary range for this role is $230K-$250K, depending on experience and location. The offer also includes a a generous pre-IPO equity package.\n\nOther benefits include comprehensive health coverage, remote-first workplace, unlimited PTO - plus extra fun perks!\n\nNotice - Employment Scams\nCommunication from our team regarding job opportunities will only be made by an Owner team member with an @owner.com email address.\nWe do not conduct interviews over email or chat platforms, and we will never ask you to provide personal or financial information such as your mailing address, social security number, credit card numbers or banking information. If you believe you are being contacted by a scammer, please mark the communication as \"phishing\" or “spam” and do not respond.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6404,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"},{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["POS Systems","Website Builders"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T07:11:05Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":28,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.779,"p_room":0.36,"age_days":77,"expected_fill_days":46,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-20T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":250000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/owner-engineering-manager-plg-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/owner-engineering-manager-plg-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-20T19:40:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22718,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-21T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":171882},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=171882"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fowner-engineering-manager-plg-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fowner-engineering-manager-plg-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fowner-engineering-manager-plg-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/owner-engineering-manager-plg-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fowner-engineering-manager-plg-2"}]}
