đŸ§‘đŸ»â€đŸ’» 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:

Are you an experienced Engineering Manager who is passionate about delivering innovative, high-quality software solutions? Are you looking for an opportunity to work in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment on products that will make a real impact? Look no further! We are seeking a talented Engineering Manager to join our team and help us deliver game-changing solutions to our customers.


Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will be responsible for delivery of 1-3 cross functional engineering teams. You will work alongside a Product manager and designer and together you will make data-informed decisions about the team roadmap and overall heading of the product.
Your teams will be truly yours to lead. Your Director of Engineering will act as your support and guide, and together you will decide what roles and team members you need to succeed. You will be the driver for staffing plans, hiring, promoting, etc.


Although we do not expect you to be coding, it is critical that you have a firm engineering background. You must understand the software development lifecycle in a SaaS company and be comfortable reviewing system architecture and code pull requests. But most importantly, you can challenge the team’s operation using your skills, knowledge, and experience.


At Mews, we operate in a high-performing environment that values open communication and collaboration.

  • Direct people management for 5-10 engineers. Mentoring, coaching, and growing your team for success.
  • Collaboration with product managers and designers from your own team and across Mews.
  • Delivery planning and roadmap execution.
  • Maintaining and improving the quality levels of the product.
  • Challenging the status quo and constantly improving team and delivery processes.

 

đŸ€ïž You’ll be a great fit if you bring a few of the below with you:
  • 4+ years’ experience as an Engineering Manager leading multi-disciplinary teams.
  • Experience working with geographically distributed teams in a hybrid environment is a plus.
  • Excellent interpersonal, communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Extensive Agile experience with different methodologies and tools such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean, and Shape-up.
  • Expert level knowledge of Agile project management tools such as Jira, Confluence, Burnups, Burndowns, etc.
  • Excellent understanding of software development lifecycles, from concept and delivery through to support and maintenance.
  • Experience building and maintaining a SaaS product is a plus.
  • Experience with .NET stack is a plus.

đŸ€·đŸ» 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’re guided by our five key values; if you see yourself in them, it’s time to get in touch.

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. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability, or any other protected characteristic. We can’t wait to hear from you.

đŸ€– 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.
