Owner.com is an AI growth system for local restaurants, aiming to help independent businesses succeed online. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer for their Mobile Platform to own the systems that keep their mobile apps healthy and resilient, focusing on release automation and observability.
Responsibilities:
- Own the release pipeline — build and maintain the systems that take code from merged to production reliably, repeatably, and with minimal manual intervention across iOS and Android
- Advance our release automation — build toward fully automated, push-button deploys and rollbacks with Slack-posted status and minimal manual intervention as the default path
- Strengthen performance monitoring and observability — expand instrumentation, define alerting thresholds, build domain-level SLA dashboards, and ensure visibility across our React Native and Android environments, including offline-first scenarios
- Improve CI/CD pipeline speed and reliability — reduce build times, improve E2E test stability, integrate feature flag automation, and level up the testing infrastructure engineers depend on every day
- Scale observability knowledge across the team — create dashboards, runbooks, and instrumentation patterns that any engineer can use and extend, not just specialists
- Keep the platform healthy — React Native and dependency updates, certificate management, Apple/Google store compliance, and MDM tooling as the fleet scales
- Leverage AI tools to build automations at scale across release and distribution workflows
- Help us build a great team — interview candidates, refer strong engineers, and shape engineering culture
Requirements:
- 4+ years of experience building and shipping production applications, including owning release processes end-to-end — not just participating in them
- Strong experience with TypeScript
- Experience building and maintaining mobile applications in production environments where quality and uptime actually matter — React Native experience is a strong plus; experience with managed device fleets, always-on hardware, or enterprise mobile deployments is a meaningful differentiator
- Experience improving CI/CD pipelines and driving meaningful release automation — a track record of moving teams toward more reliable, less manual delivery processes
- Hands-on experience with observability tooling — Datadog, OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, or equivalent. Experience instrumenting mobile or edge environments where standard tooling requires adaptation is a strong plus
- Track record of improving operational visibility — building dashboards, defining alerting thresholds, diagnosing production issues, and making monitoring accessible to a whole team
- Comfort navigating complex external systems — Apple/Google developer workflows, certificates, provisioning, MDM platforms, store review processes, and compliance requirements
- Experience at a product-focused startup, scale-up, or technology company
- Strong sense of ownership, excellent communication, and a proactive approach to identifying and solving ambiguous, cross-cutting problems
