Help make the world more hospitable

The hospitality industry is uniquely human, and it deserves technology that’s just as inspiring as the people behind it. At Mews, we’re transforming the industry with a platform that helps hotels run smarter, move faster and create better guest experiences.

You’ll work with smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do. You’ll have autonomy and the trust to make good decisions and move quickly. And you’ll enjoy a real sense of purpose as you see the impact of what we’re building.

If you’re motivated by ownership, curiosity and meaningful impact, and are driven to deliver consistent high performance, you’ll feel at home here.

About the role

Let's get into the specifics. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distil it into 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

Life at Mews

We’re an equal opportunities employer. We value teams that reflect the diversity of the customers and communities we serve. Different perspectives make better ideas, stronger products and a more welcoming company.

We also believe transparency is important when deciding if you're the right fit. Mews is an ambitious, high-pressure environment of continuous learning and high standards. Success here requires resilience, adaptability and a willingness to solve difficult problems.

A few things that define how we work:

High autonomy means high responsibility. People are expected to take ownership and drive outcomes. There isn’t a detailed playbook for everything, and that’s part of what makes the work challenging – and rewarding.
Change is constant. We’re growing quickly and adapting as we scale. Teams, processes and priorities continue to evolve, and only people who stay curious and agile will thrive.
We’re remote-first, not relationship-free. Flexibility is core to how we work, but strong relationships still matter. Our teams are global, so we need expert collaborators and communicators to help us move forward together.
AI is an integral part of our processes. It’s not here to steal people’s jobs, but to amplify efficiency and productivity. We’re motivated to proactively use the technology to seek out better ways of working and share our findings with the rest of the company.

If there's anything we can do to support you during the application process, let us know.

We don't discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability or any other protected characteristic.

One final thing: don't hold back. If you don't meet 100% of the criteria in this job description but you're certain you could make a big impact, apply. Everyone should have equal access to opportunities, and we're committed to providing an inclusive experience.

If Mews sounds like the kind of environment where you'd thrive, we'd love to hear from you.
