It’s true. At Mews, we dream big. As a Hotel Tech unicorn valued at $1.2b, we’re propelling new-generation cloud technology within global hospitality. With our industry-leading property management solution, we’re enabling the world’s most revolutionary hospitality brands to accelerate their digital transformation.

We’re on the lookout for ambitious, tenacious and passionate people who want to join the next generation of innovators and disrupt the hospitality industry with us. Sound good so far? Keep reading and tumble down the Mews rabbit hole... 🐇

🧑🏻‍💻 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:

Our financial ecosystem connects countless services — from payments and accounting to tax and reporting. Keeping those systems talking reliably is no small feat.

We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to take ownership of that challenge: leading the team that builds and operates our serverless, message-oriented middleware platform. Built in C# with Azure Functions, Service Bus, and Event Grid, this platform is the backbone of our financial integrations — distributed, asynchronous, and business-critical.

Your mission is to make the complex feel effortless. You’ll guide a talented team through the realities of asynchronous systems — observability, reliability, and scale — and turn great architecture into dependable delivery. Working closely with our Technical Architect and product partners, you’ll bring clarity, discipline, and leadership to a fast-moving, remote-first environment

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: 

  • Lead and support a distributed team of software engineers, fostering autonomy, trust, and psychological safety.
  • Own delivery of the middleware platform — ensuring integrations are reliable, observable, and scalable.
  • Translate architectural vision into execution, guiding the team toward pragmatic, incremental delivery.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Product, Finance, and Architecture to align technical direction with business priorities.
  • Embed operational excellence, championing best practices for monitoring, testing, and incident response in distributed systems.
  • Elevate engineering maturity, improving how we design, deploy, and evolve message-oriented, serverless systems.
  • Communicate with clarity, keeping stakeholders informed and the team focused in a remote-first environment.

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

  • You have proven experience as an Engineering Manager or Team Lead, with a track record of delivering working, message-oriented software iteratively in a fast-paced environment. 
  • You are an empathetic leader with strong communication skills who is passionate about supporting your team both as humans and as professionals. 
  • You have a strong understanding of how to build quality in, with ideas and experience in monitoring and testing distributed systems effectively. 
  • You have a hands-on background in software engineering with familiarity or direct experience in: 
  • Microsoft Azure cloud services and CI/CD pipelines. 
  • C# and .NET-based development. 
  • Serverless, event-driven/messaging architectures (e.g., Azure Functions, Azure Service Bus)  
  • You are comfortable working with distributed teams across multiple time zones and understand the importance of clear documentation and communication. 
  • Bonus: You have experience working with financial systems or business-critical integrations. 
🎉 What’s in it for you?

🤷🏻 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 can’t wait to hear from you.

🤖 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.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
