Data Platform Engineer

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. Our traction Since 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. More importantly, we’ve helped over 20,000 restaurant owners, and saved them nearly $200 million in fees. Our 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. We’ll be scaling even faster in 2026 to keep pace with our customer growth. Where we work Owner 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! Why we are looking for you We are looking for a mission-driven Data Platform Enginer to build Owner's data platform - the foundational systems that power analytics, AI, and decision-making across the company. The Data Platform team owns everything data flows into and out of: ingestion, transformation, storage, orchestration, and the reverse ETL, semantic layers that put data back in the hands of the teams and products that need it, and infrastructure for our internal BI system. Today that system works, but part of it was built outside of SOT (in Hex) and needs to be migrated into DBT. You'll replace it with reproducible, production-grade infrastructure - and then make it self-service for the analysts, engineers, and AI systems that depend on it. This is an exciting role to build out the foundations of our data platform. The team is four engineers and growing, there is very little legacy to work around, and the decisions you make in your first year will define how Owner uses data for years. Depending on your interests, there is room to focus on core pipeline and platform infrastructure, or on the semantic layer that sits between LLMs and our data and defines how AI queries it. This role is 100% remote and can be based anywhere in the United States or Canada. For San Francisco-based candidates - we also have a new HQ in the Presidio for optional in-person collaboration.
