👋 About Owner.com
Owner is the AI growth system for local restaurants.
Our AI continuously improves SEO, marketing, and online ordering to grow first-party orders. Unlike other companies that forces small business owners to master their software to drive sales, Owner gives them a proven system run by experts.
Owner is like having an army of engineers and marketers on your side, just like the big chains.
🌎 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.

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’re looking for you
Owner.com’s restaurant‑commerce platform is scaling explosively, and our testing infrastructure must scale faster. We're seeking a mission‑driven Senior Quality Engineer to build out a world‑class test platform that makes shipping secure, reliable, and fast. You’ll split time between quality‑infrastructure engineering (designing for shift‑left CI/CD, automation, and observability) and quality enablement (tools, coaching, and cultural embedding).
Your work will directly empower the websites, ordering flows, mobile apps, and back‑office systems that thousands of restaurants - and millions of diners - rely on every day.
This role is 100% remote and can be based anywhere in the United States or Canada (excluding Quebec)
💥 The impact you will have
- Build & scale testing infrastructure: you'll contribute to the architecture and maintenance of test orchestration platforms, test runners, data‑management tools, and developer‑facing quality tooling that support teams—from backend services to React Native apps.
- Embed quality into CI/CD pipelines: help evolve GitHub Actions/Buildkite so tests run intelligently on file‑change, parallelized for speed, with built‑in analysis, coverage, flakiness detection, and fast feedback to engineers.
- Drive shift‑left and continuous improvement: Collaborate with product and development to implement early testing strategies via contract‑testing, TDD, specification reviews, and risk‑based automated testing that surface defects before deployment.
- Own quality observability: build dashboards and metric pipelines to track code coverage, test churn, CI test latency, and reliability trends.
- Apply SRE principles to testing reliability: help define and monitor "quality SLIs" (e.g. deploy‑blocking flake rate < 1%) tied to critical flows—helping balance release velocity and acceptance criteria.
- Support incident review with a quality lens: participate in postmortems, identify test‑coverage gaps and process enhancements, and help implement improvements across teams.
- Champion the "you build it, you test it" philosophy: partner with engineers on best practices, share accessible testing toolkits, and support onboarding of new teams.
🤝 Who you’ll work with
- Daily collaboration with Backend, Frontend, & Mobile engineering across multiple time zones
- Product & Restaurant Success teams—to align quality metrics and test coverage with business outcomes
- SRE & Platform engineers—to ensure test infrastructure is reliable, performant, and easy to maintain
✅ Minimum requirements
- Proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language used for automation (e.g. Python, TypeScript, Go)
- Hands‑on experience with testing frameworks (Jest, Playwright, Cypress, etc.) and automation tools (Testcontainers, Docker‑Compose, etc.)
- Proven track record integrating testing deeply into CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions, Buildkite, Jenkins, Flux CD) with intelligent test execution and automated analysis
- Familiarity with test environments: virtualizing dependencies, using service‑virtualization or testcontainers to isolate CI from production services
- Understanding of all layers of testing: unit, integration, end‑to‑end, performance, contract, security, including metrics and test flakiness tracking
- Strong debugging and analytical skills; experience diagnosing flakes, CI inefficiencies, or automation bottlenecks
- Excellent written and verbal communication: you break complex topics into actionable insights and instructions
- Passion for building systems that empower engineers
🌟 Bonus points
- Experience working at scale: test platforms that support hundreds of engineers or microservices, and heavy backend workloads
- Familiarity with performance/load testing platforms like k6, JMeter, Locust, or chaos‑engineering tools
- Exposure to mobile CI pipelines in React Native or Flutter and mobile QA automation frameworks
- Experience in regulated environments: PCI‑DSS, SOC 2, threat modeling or automated security tests woven into CI/CD
- Knowledge of GitOps or release‑orchestration tools (e.g. Argo CD, Spinnaker) as part of quality gate workflows
- Previous work in infrastructure‑oriented ops or SRE roles that focused on availability, response time, and error budgeting
🏆 Pay & benefits
- The estimated starting base salary range for this role is $180K-200K depending on level, location and experience - plus a generous pre-IPO equity package
- Other benefits include comprehensive health coverage, work from anywhere (remote-first workplace), unlimited PTO - plus extra fun perks!
