Staff Software Engineer

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: As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the technical direction of Mews’ core platform. You’ll design and build distributed systems that power thousands of properties globally, mentor engineers across teams, and help drive the evolution of our architecture as we move from a modular monolith toward service-oriented systems. This isn’t about being a lone genius; it’s about multiplying the impact of those around you. You’ll raise the bar for technical excellence, ensure our systems scale beautifully, and champion simplicity in the face of complexity. What you’ll do: Design and evolve scalable, cloud-native systems that support global hospitality operations 24/7. Lead by example: write clean, maintainable, production-ready code in C#/.NET, with services hosted in Microsoft Azure. Mentor and guide engineers, sharing best practices in architecture, testing, performance, and reliability. Collaborate cross-functionally with product, design, and data teams to turn ambitious ideas into reliable features.

About you: You’re a seasoned engineer who thrives on autonomy and impact. You balance pragmatism with ambition, can dive deep into code or step back to see the system, and you care about the humans behind the technology. You’ll likely bring: 8+ years of experience in software engineering, including at least 2 in a senior or staff-level capacity. Strong background in C#/.NET or similar backend language. Experience designing and operating distributed systems at scale. Solid understanding of data modeling, performance, and observability.

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.
