🧑🏻‍💻 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:

We are looking for an Android Engineer to help us build our best-in-class cloud-based Point-of-Sale (POS) product for hotels and restaurants, used by thousands of hospitality professionals around the globe.

At Mews, we love technology and use it to drive meaningful change in the hospitality industry. Strong engineering fundamentals, deep domain knowledge and a pragmatic, down-to-earth mindset allow us to move fast and compete with much larger incumbents (yes, even the O**cles of the world).

You’ll join a cross-functional POS team where engineers are expected to take ownership, solve real problems, and collaborate closely with product and design to build reliable, scalable and user-friendly Android applications used in demanding, real-world environments.

For a high-level overview of our engineering culture, check out the results of the Pragmatic Engineer test. You can also explore our developer blog, YouTube channel with conference talks, GitHub FAQ about life at Mews, or LinkedIn for the latest updates.

✅ Your mission, should you choose to accept it:

  • Build and evolve the Mews POS Android application, used daily in real-world hospitality environments.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers and designers to deliver valuable, user-focused features.
  • Design and implement solutions using Kotlin and modern Android practices, focusing on clarity, maintainability and long-term impact.
  • Take end-to-end ownership of your work, from design and development to production and operational quality.
  • Ensure high standards of performance, reliability, usability, observability and security.
  • Work in an agile environment, shipping small, meaningful improvements to production frequently.
  • Review code thoughtfully, learn from feedback, and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement by constructively challenging technical decisions and the team’s way of working.
  • Care about the technical health of the product, proactively proposing improvements and using AI tools effectively in your day-to-day work.
  • Work remotely with a high degree of autonomy, taking responsibility for clear, effective communication.

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

  • Solid experience building Android applications using Kotlin and modern Android frameworks.
  • Good understanding of mobile architecture patterns, testing strategies and the Android app lifecycle in production.
  • Experience working with APIs, including networking, data persistence and offline scenarios.
  • Familiarity with Git and CI/CD pipelines in a professional engineering environment.
  • Experience maintaining and evolving long-lived codebases in production.
  • The ability to make sound technical trade-offs in complex or ambiguous situations.
  • Effective communication in English
  • Nice to have: exposure to Android apps that interact with printers or payment terminals.

🤷🏻 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.

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.

🤖 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.
