[Hiring] AI Creative Engineer @Owner.com

Role Description

Owner is building the agentic system for the next era of small business software. Visual content is one of the most visible and emotionally important parts of a restaurant’s brand—and it heavily shapes whether customers trust, click, and convert. We’re looking for an AI Creative Engineer to build and scale the creative engine behind Owner: image and video generation + processing pipelines that produce stunning, on-brand photos, illustrations, and video for restaurants out of the box. This role is 100% remote and can be based anywhere in the United States or Canada.

• Own the end-to-end systems that generate and process restaurant imagery and video at scale.
• Build a style system (presets + guidelines) that creates beautiful, brand-appropriate outputs across restaurant types.
• Go deep with models and prompting to push quality, consistency, and creative range.
• Ship pipelines and tooling for iteration, QA, and post-processing (upscaling, cleanup, framing, compression).
• Build evaluation loops (rubrics, goldens, review) so creative quality improves continuously.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Design, AI, and Launch teams to turn creative generation into a durable product advantage.

Qualifications

• Exceptional art direction and photographic taste; you can look at an output and instantly know what’s off and how to fix it.
• Strong technical ability (you can code) and comfort building prototypes, scripts, and tooling to improve pipelines.
• Deep curiosity and hands-on experience with modern image/video models, prompting, reference workflows, and iterative improvement.
• A systems mindset: you care about reliability, cost, throughput, and guardrails—not just one-off great outputs.
• High-ownership execution: you move quickly from insight to shipped improvements, and you’re relentless about quality.
• Customer empathy for restaurants and an instinct for brand expression, vibe, and what “looks right” for different cuisines and identities.

Requirements

• The estimated base salary range for this role is $180K-192K, plus a generous pre-IPO equity package.
• Other benefits include comprehensive health coverage, remote-first workplace, unlimited PTO - plus extra fun perks!
