🧑🏻‍💻 About the role

First things first: you want to know what you’re actually applying for. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distill it down to a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:

At Mews, we’re redefining how hospitality works, and that includes rethinking how software gets built. That’s why we’re introducing a new kind of role: the Product Builder. Product Builders are high-agency engineers who don’t just focus on how things get built, they shape what gets built in the first place, taking ownership from idea through to impact and playing a direct role in defining the products our customers experience.

As a Product Builder, you will operate at the forefront of this transformation. This is a role for people who transcend conventional engineering tracks – those who blend technical depth, product intuition and organisational leadership to create enduring impact. A Product Builder is someone who thinks in systems, takes initiative, moves fast and creates long-term value by building great products that truly help our customers.

You’ll be responsible for identifying, driving and delivering high-leverage product opportunities that span teams and domains. You’ll lead by example in how AI-native products are built, guide strategic direction and act as a multiplier for others in the organization

Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

Take end-to-end ownership of product initiatives - from problem definition to prototype to production
Build rapidly, ship often and iterate based on real feedback
Lead the design and implementation of systems that power:

Product-led growth mechanics
Intelligent onboarding and automation workflows
Multi-property operational tooling and business intelligence
AI-powered Smart Tips and co-pilot product features

Work closely with Product Managers and Designers to stay aligned on direction without being dependent on them for day-to-day execution
Operate as a self-contained unit: making decisions, running experiments and owning delivery
Set a high bar for technical and product quality. You won’t just ship features - you’ll build systems that last and evolve
Mentor Engineers who wish to become Product Builders and other Product Builders to drive adoption of modern development practices
Champion AI-native development across the team - working faster, smarter and with less waste
Make pragmatic use of cloud-native platforms, integrations and managed services to solve problems without reinventing the wheel

Lead the discovery and delivery of complex, cross-cutting initiatives with broad business and customer impact.
Shape product direction in ambiguous areas, working closely with leadership to influence strategic bets and longer-term product vision.
Mentor and enable other Product Builders and Engineers across the company – through pairing, reviews, coaching and hands-on leadership.
Drive best-in-class use of AI tools, rapidly prototyping solutions and scaling promising ideas into robust product experiences.
Establish reusable patterns, frameworks, or services that accelerate the work of other builders and improve overall velocity.
Define and share patterns for effective AI-native development, enabling others, even for non-product builders, to build faster and more effectively.
Represent builder thinking across orgs – evangelizing a culture of experimentation, autonomy and pragmatic problem-solving.

You’ll be a great fit if you bring a few of the below with you:

7 years of experience delivering customer-facing software with measurable business outcomes.
Experience as a senior engineer in a product-driven company (startup, founder, or scale-up experience preferred)
Track record of leading large-scale initiatives across functions, systems, or product areas.
Strong product instincts - you care about the problem as much as the implementation
Comfortable defining scope, navigating ambiguity and making trade-offs in real time
Take ownership well beyond your code - into customer outcomes, product success and system sustainability
Experience operating without dedicated Product Managers or Product Designers, or a strong proven ability to do so
Demonstrated ability to define and deliver product strategy without top-down direction.
Consistently lead by example: whether by coaching, elevating team standards, or proactively unblocking others
Recognized as a leader in AI-native development, with a proven ability to evaluate, adopt and scale emerging tools (e.g., agents, orchestration, autonomous testing) across teams.
Expert in and actively working with modern AI development tools, such as:

Claude for rapid code generation and refactoring
Cursor or other AI-native IDEs to boost development speed and insight
Lovable, or similar tools, to prototype flows and gather user feedback fast
Emerging AI agents and workflow automation tools that help reduce friction, test faster and unlock scale

Strong communicator with a history of influencing decision-making at a strategic level.
Recognized internally as a go-to problem solver and mentor, trusted by peers across disciplines

🤷🏻 Who is Mews?

We want to get to know you, so it’s only fair we tell you a little bit about ourselves first. Mews has been transforming hospitality since 2012. What began in a single hotel in Prague now powers thousands of hotels around the world, as they pursue their mission to develop transformational solutions for brands and create remarkable experiences for guests.

Since the beginning, Mews embraced being different. Mews is not simply a property management system, but a connected hospitality cloud with products across the hotel ecosystem and more integrations than anyone else.

From global hospitality brands to independent properties, hoteliers join Mews because they recognize the power of innovation. They understand that they can benefit from hotel tech that drives efficiency, maximizes revenue, and improves guest happiness.

Powering over 5,000 customers across more than 85 countries, Mews Hospitality Cloud is designed to streamline operations for modern hoteliers, transform the guest experience and create more profitable businesses.

Ranked 24th in the FT 1000 list of the fastest-growing European companies in 2021, Mews has been recognized as the Best PMS by industry peers at the HotelTechAwards in both 2020 and 2024, consistently earning acclaim. Mews also achieved finalist status in 2021 and 2022. What's more, we take immense pride in being listed among the Best Places to Work in Hotel Tech during those same years and again this year. But our achievements don't stop there; Mews was also listed among the World's Best Hotel PMS Provider 2023 and as the World's Best Independent Hotel PMS Provider 2022 and 2023 by the World Travel Tech Awards.

💭 Life at Mews

That’s what we do, but what about who we are? Mews’ culture is special and difficult to capture in words, which makes writing this tricky. You'll experience the freedom to be yourself and the ability to watch your ideas come to life. You’ll have an open line of communication and an open invitation to after-work drinks, be they virtual or in-person. Sometimes the work can be challenging and there can be a lot of it, but you’ll always be able to rely on those around you.

Yes, we’re ambitious and we move fast, but we know the value of fun and taking a breather. We have slack channels for almost every interest imaginable, and an all-company meeting every Friday gives you the chance to ask any question to our leadership team.

We embrace different perspectives, encourage trying new things and want everyone to feel safe bringing their authentic self to work. If this sounds like you and you’re ready to join a global, innovative and exciting community, we’d love to hear from you.

One very important note: don’t hold back. Even if you don’t meet 100% of the criteria listed in this job description, we still encourage you to apply.

🤖 AI and Hiring at Mews

At Mews, we believe AI enhances our work but should not replace what humanises it and makes it individually ours. We see AI as a tool to support research, generate ideas, and drive efficiency, but creativity, critical thinking, and opinions differentiate us. As you apply, feel free to use AI to help structure your thoughts — but ensure your application and conversations with us, reflect your personal opinions, capabilities and experience. We’re building an AI-enabled workforce, and that starts with people who think independently and bring fresh ideas to the table. Because at Mews, making work more human is the ultimate goal.
