Senior SDET Engineer

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, it would be this:

You're not a tester, you're a developer. Our Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs) bridge the gap between Quality Assurance and Software Engineering, and it's all about automation. To ensure that Mews delivers high quality applications to hotels and guests around the world, we need to elevate our testing game - we need automation engineers. If you prefer script-writing over document-writing, and frameworks over manual work, then we can be friends. This role is embedded in the engineering team and works closely with product managers, data analysts and DevOps to guide development outcomes. We use GitHub, C#, TypeScript and Azure DevOps for tools, and we welcome innovative solutions and languages.

• Develop and maintain automated test suites, frameworks, and tools to support engineers.
• Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing.
• Promote best testing practices and collaborate on testing strategies.
• Ensure high-quality, efficient test suites with thorough documentation and a 100% green board.

• Enhance testing processes and stay current with industry trends.
• Drive initiatives to improve code and development quality.
• Maintain stable, scalable testing environments.
• Monitor quality metrics and resolve issues quickly.

• Proficient in programming languages (e.g., C#, TypeScript).
• Skilled in software testing methodologies (unit, integration, functional, performance).
• Experienced with test automation tools/frameworks (e.g., Selenium, JUnit, Cypress).
• Knowledgeable in CI/CD practices and tools (GitHub).
• Balances long-term quality with short-term delivery.
• Adept at debugging complex, multi-system issues.
• Strong grasp of SDLC and Agile methodologies.
• Communicates technical concepts clearly to all stakeholders.
• Mentors engineers and fosters collaborative problem-solving.
• Exhibits empathy and active listening.
• Committed to staying updated with industry trends.
• Proactively seeks/provides feedback to enhance performance.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.

We want to get to know you, so it's only fair we tell you a little bit about ourselves. 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. We are proud to be listed among the Best Places to Work in Hotel Tech during those years and again this year. We were also listed among the World's Best Hotel PMS Provider in 2023 and as the World's Best Independent Hotel PMS Provider 2022 and 2023 by the World Travel Tech Awards.

That's what we do, but what about who we are? Mews' culture is special and difficult to capture in words. 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 invitation to after-work drinks, 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 move fast, but we know the value of fun and taking a breather. We have Slack channels for almost every interest, and an all-company meeting every Friday gives you the chance to ask any question to our leadership team.

To reimagine the art of hospitality, we need teams who 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. Embracing different perspectives, trying new things, and feeling safe to bring your 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 think you don't meet 100% of the criteria listed, we still encourage you to apply. We believe everyone should have equal access to opportunities and want to ensure we provide an inclusive experience, so let us know if there is anything we can do to support your application process.

At Mews, we believe AI enhances our work but should not replace what humanizes 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.
