🧑🏻‍💻 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.
