Senior DevOps Engineer

Job Overview

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.

Why We're Looking for You

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to help evolve and operate Owner’s cloud and deployment platform as we continue to scale. This is a senior individual-contributor role with broad ownership across infrastructure, CI/CD, Kubernetes, and developer enablement. You’ll work closely with product engineering teams to understand where friction lives today, then design systems that remove it tomorrow.

The Impact You'll Have

• Design, build, and operate the core infrastructure that powers Owner’s engineering organization, with an emphasis on reliability, security, and ease of use.


• Own and evolve our Kubernetes-based platform on AWS, improving how services are deployed, scaled, monitored, and secured in production.


• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that are fast, reliable, and easy to reason about by reducing deploy risk while increasing developer confidence and velocity.


• Focus deeply on developer experience: identifying pain points in local development, testing, deployment, and observability, then replacing manual or error-prone workflows with self-service tooling and automation.


• Partner closely with application engineers to set clear patterns and golden paths for how services are built and run at Owner, balancing flexibility with strong, opinionated defaults.


• Strengthen our approach to operational excellence by improving monitoring, alerting, incident response, and post-incident learning.


• Help embed security into our infrastructure and delivery pipelines, ensuring best practices are automated and invisible.

What We’re Looking For

• Deep experience operating production systems in the cloud, particularly on AWS, and comfort owning infrastructure that supports critical customer-facing workloads.


• Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code, ideally using Terraform, to define, version, and manage cloud infrastructure and platform resources in a repeatable, auditable way across environments.


• Worked extensively with Kubernetes in real-world environments, including deploying, operating, and troubleshooting services at scale.


• Strong hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and understand how small workflow decisions can dramatically impact developer velocity and reliability.


• Empathize deeply with developers. You’ve felt the pain of slow builds, brittle deploys, unclear ownership, and noisy alerts—and you’re motivated to eliminate those problems through good system design.


• Think in terms of platforms and leverage: building tools and abstractions that make the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard, rather than relying on documentation alone.


• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and taking ownership of loosely defined problems, shaping them into concrete systems, standards, and outcomes.


• Communicate clearly and pragmatically, especially when working across teams with different priorities and levels of infrastructure expertise.

Benefits

The estimated base salary range for this role is $190K - $220K (senior level) or $220-$240K (staff level) depending on experience and location. Additionally, our offer includes a generous pre-IPO equity package. Other benefits include comprehensive health coverage, work from anywhere, unlimited PTO - plus extra fun perks!
