We are looking for an exceptional Engineering Manager to lead a group of talented engineers at Owner. Our ideal candidate is an inspiring leader who is very technically strong/hands-on and brings positivity and passion to their work and their teams. This is a remote role which can be based anywhere in the United States or Canada. For candidates based in San Francisco: we have a beautiful HQ in the Presidio, and we like to get together for periodic in-person collaboration!

The impact you will have
  • Lead fullstack engineering team(s) across Launch and Websites, building the product surfaces restaurant owners use to launch, activate, and grow on Owner
  • Collaborate closely with Design, Product, and the AI Agents team to identify and execute on high-impact initiatives, from self-serve activation flows to AI-powered website generation
  • Help define and evolve the architecture behind a fast-moving, AI-augmented product surface, partnering with Danial on cross-team technical direction
  • Hire, grow, and retain exceptional engineers who thrive in a high-trust, high-impact environment
  • Foster a culture of simplicity, quality, and continuous improvement across both teams
  • Contribute to code and architecture reviews, unblock teams, and lead by example when needed
  • Work closely with cross-functional partners in Product, Design, Customer Success, and GTM to align initiatives with company goals

Who you'll work with

  • Strong product sense and an instinct for balancing speed, quality, and user impact
  • Experience with modern frontend frameworks (e.g. React) and backend systems (e.g. Node.js)
  • High degree of cross-functional collaboration - past colleagues in product, design, and business would speak highly of your teamwork
  • A plus: growth or PLG experience (self-serve activation, onboarding, upgrade flows) - desirable, not required

Pay and benefits
  • The 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.
  • Other benefits include comprehensive health coverage, remote-first workplace, unlimited PTO - plus extra fun perks!
