🧑🏻‍💻 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 how software gets built. In our Front of House & POS division, we're growing a team of Product Builders: high-agency engineers who shape what gets built, not just how.

As a Senior Product Builder Mobile (Android), you'll take end-to-end ownership of product initiatives on the Mews POS – a heavy mobile product used daily in real-world hospitality environments. While your primary focus is mobile, you'll also contribute across backend and web when needed, working as a true full-stack Product Builder. You'll work closely with Product Managers and Designers to define problems, prototype rapidly and ship impactful solutions – with a strong mobile-first lens.

This is not a traditional engineering role. It's a hybrid of builder, maker and product thinker – designed for people who thrive in ambiguity, care deeply about real-world impact and have deep mastery of the Android platform.

✅ Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

  • Take end-to-end ownership of product initiatives on the Mews POS Android application – from problem definition to prototype to production.
  • Build rapidly, ship often and iterate based on real feedback from hospitality operators.
  • Lead the design and implementation of mobile-first systems that power:
    • Point-of-Sale workflows and real-time transaction processing

    • Hardware integrations (printers, payment terminals, peripherals)

    • Offline-capable and resilient mobile experiences

    • AI-powered features and smart automation within the POS product

  • Drive architectural decisions for the Android application, identifying structural improvements and leading their adoption across the team.
  • While mobile is your primary domain, contribute across backend and web layers when the product requires it – you're a Product Builder first, not a platform specialist.
  • 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.
  • Ensure high standards of performance, reliability, usability, observability and security, and raise the bar when you see room to improve.
  • Mentor engineers who wish to grow as Product Builders and champion modern development practices, including effective use of AI development tools.
  • Review code thoughtfully and actively shape a culture of technical excellence by constructively challenging technical decisions and ways of working.

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

  • 7+ years of experience building and shipping high-impact product experiences at scale, with significant time spent on Android/mobile.
  • Strong, proven experience building Android applications using Kotlin and modern Android frameworks – this is a mobile-first role.
  • Deep understanding of mobile architecture patterns, testing strategies and the Android app lifecycle in production – with the ability to evaluate, propose and drive architectural changes.
  • Comfortable working across the full stack – backend APIs and web surfaces – with a mobile-first mindset and willingness to own end-to-end delivery.
  • Experience working with APIs, including networking, data persistence and offline scenarios.
  • A track record of maintaining and evolving long-lived codebases in production, including driving technical debt reduction and quality improvements.
  • Familiarity with Git and CI/CD pipelines in a professional engineering environment.
  • 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.
  • Experience operating without dedicated Product Managers or Designers – or a strong proven ability to do so.
  • Expert in and actively working with modern AI development tools, such as:
    • GitHub Copilot for rapid code generation and refactoring

    • Cursor / Claude as AI-native IDE or CLI for development speed and software delivery

    • Emerging AI agents and workflow automation tools to reduce friction, test faster and unlock scale

  • Experience at a product-driven company (startup, founder or scale-up experience preferred).
  • Effective communication in English.

🤷🏻 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.

If our mission, values and Life at Mews sound like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you!

Everyone is welcome at Mews

We’re an equal opportunities employer. To reimagine the art of hospitality, we need teams that represent our global and diverse customers and users. Our differences make Mews, so we welcome people of all backgrounds and identities to work with us. 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. We believe everyone should have equal access to opportunities and we’re committed to providing an inclusive experience, so please let us know if there’s anything we can do to support you during the application process.

🤖 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.
