🧑🏻💻 About the role
First things first: you want to know what you’re actually ing 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 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 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
