[Hiring] Staff Engineer @Mews

Role Description

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.

As Staff Engineer, you'll own the architecture, agents and skills that let every builder in your tribe ship sound, well-architected work without waiting on a handoff, at a moment when Mews has moved almost entirely to an agentic-first engineering model.

• Own the tribe's engineering context, agents and skills, and be accountable for keeping them coherent, current and grounded in real product work.
• Build and evaluate the internal engineering agents and skills that Product Builders use daily, encoding architectural standards, review logic and quality gates directly into the tools they run.
• Extend and improve the tribe's agentic tooling when it isn't good enough yet.
• Stay hands-on with the hardest technical problems: gnarly migrations, system-wide refactors and architecture calls that will shape years of future building.
• When work ships off-bar, trace it back to what was missing in the agents or patterns and fix it at the root.
• AI Fluency Level 4: building and shipping the engineering agents and skills that Product Builders rely on every day.

Qualifications

• A track record as a senior or staff-level engineer who has shipped and owned complex systems at scale.
• Experience turning hard-won technical judgment into reusable architecture, tooling or standards that other engineers adopt.
• Comfort holding a multi-cycle technical view while still being able to drop into what needs to ship today.
• Clear communication across levels: builders, your Director, Principals and, when it counts, the C-suite.
• AI Fluency Level 4 or equivalent hands-on experience.

Requirements

• Experience in hospitality, travel or another operationally complex B2B SaaS environment (nice to have).
• A track record of coaching or multiplying other engineers' output.
• Public writing or speaking about technical work you've shipped.

Benefits

• Unlimited paid holiday.
• Participation in our company share program.
• Paid parental leave (6 months fully paid for primary caregivers, 2 months for secondary, available after one year of service).
• An annual Learning budget of €300 (and more for high performers).
• Monthly "EDGE" time to Explore, Develop, Grow, and Elevate yourself.
• A work from anywhere policy with flexibility to work abroad for a few weeks each year.
• Relocation options, available after one year.
• Flexible, hybrid working options.
• A home office setup budget and a monthly work-from-home allowance.
• Claude tokens for automating workflows.
