Product Builder (m/f/d)

About the role At Mews we’re redefining how hospitality works, and that includes rethinking how software gets built. 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. Responsibilities 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 share 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 Qualifications 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 Benefits Global Benefits Participation in our company share program Best‑in‑class parental leave (6 months fully paid for primary caregivers, 2 months for secondary, available within your first year) Unlimited paid holiday Work from anywhere – flexibility to work from other countries for a few weeks each year through our compliant and flexible Workation policy Relocation options available after 1 year Monthly “EDGE” time – dedicated to Explore, Develop, Grow and Elevate yourself Flexible, hybrid working options One‑off home office setup budget Monthly working‑from‑home and healthcare allowances (where local healthcare benefits are not available) Local Benefits We tailor benefits to each location – from regional healthcare coverage to team events, socials, and other perks that make Mews life special wherever you are.
