The hospitality industry is uniquely human, and it deserves technology that’s just as inspiring as the people behind it. At Mews, we’re transforming the industry with a platform that helps hotels run smarter, move faster and create better guest experiences.
You’ll work with smart, curious people who care deeply about what they do. You’ll have autonomy and the trust to make good decisions and move quickly. And you’ll enjoy a real sense of purpose as you see the impact of what we’re building.
If you’re motivated by ownership, curiosity and meaningful impact, and are driven to deliver consistent high performance, you’ll feel at home here.
Let's get into the specifics. It’s impossible to capture every nuance of a role – especially at a rapidly growing company like Mews – but if we had to distil it into a job description (which we do because this is a job description), it would be this:
Security is load-bearing infrastructure at Mews. Every payment processed, every guest record stored, every API call made by an integration partner runs through systems this team is responsible for keeping secure. As the Security Engineer joining the Security Engineering team, you will own the tooling and controls that let hundreds of engineers build fast without creating risk they cannot see. This is a building role, not a monitoring role: you will design and implement security capabilities, embed checks into the pipelines (the automated processes that take code from a developer's laptop to production) that engineers use every day, and work directly with product and platform teams to make secure choices the easy ones.
The team is at a high-watermark moment for delivery. A recent promotion to Staff Engineer is great news for Mews, but it has shifted roughly half that person's capacity to a major compliance initiative, leaving a real gap in the security engineering roadmap. Supply chain security, cloud policy enforcement, and application security tooling all have concrete 2026 milestones attached. This hire closes that gap and has an immediate, visible impact on what the team ships.
AI Fluency Level 3: In this role, that means you have gone beyond using AI for your own productivity. You have looked at how a security function works and redesigned parts of it using AI: building review workflows or detection playbooks that other engineers can follow without a security specialist present every time, and actively checking AI-generated outputs for accuracy rather than accepting them. In security engineering specifically, this includes evaluating AI-generated code for vulnerabilities, using AI to surface threat patterns across large codebases, and knowing when the model is wrong. This is not a role for someone who uses Copilot occasionally; it is a role for someone who has thought carefully about where AI makes security work better and built something repeatable out of that insight.
