Senior Software Engineer, Identity and Access Management

Owner.com is an AI-native system designed to help local business owners succeed, starting with restaurants. They are seeking a Senior Software Engineer specializing in Identity and Access Management to build and enhance their authentication and authorization systems, ensuring secure and reliable access for users.

Responsibilities:

• Help build the foundation for secure access at Owner — design and improve the authentication and authorization systems that power every product surface across the platform
• Own critical auth infrastructure end to end — contribute to systems for login, sessions, token management, service-to-service auth, account security, and access enforcement
• Improve reliability and observability — instrument auth services with the alerting, dashboards, and runbooks needed to detect issues quickly and keep critical access flows healthy
• Raise the security bar — identify risks, improve controls, and help ensure authentication and authorization are designed thoughtfully from the beginning, not added as an afterthought
• Leverage AI tools to move faster — use AI tooling to accelerate your work, from writing and reviewing code to exploring solutions and automating repetitive tasks
• Help us build a great team — interview candidates, share technical context, and raise the bar for how we build

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience building and shipping production backend systems, with a track record of owning critical services end to end — not just contributing to them
• Comfort with Typescript or Javascript — with deep experience in building web-scale applications
• Hands-on experience building authentication, authorization, identity, permissions, security, or similar platform infrastructure
• Strong understanding of API design, distributed systems, databases, and operational reliability
• Strong sense of ownership and urgency — you don't wait for perfect requirements, you drive toward clarity and keep things moving
