‍

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 Security Engineer, you will be helping us realise and steer a cloud presence that enables our builder teams, technologists, and users to safely, securely, rapidly and easily leverage the cloud services they need in order to accelerate patient care in our virtual ward. You'll work in partnership with the business to help us elevate, and automate our security posture for complex workloads that support our engineering, data, and core tooling pipelines.

Our vision is a platform that epitomises the best of modern cloud practices - leveraging immutable infrastructure, zero trust and effective pipelines to allow our teams to quickly operationalise workloads that have compliance, security, observability, logging, and alerting baked in, and we're growing a team passionate to deliver it.

You'll be:

• Bringing a technical security skill set to the direction of the cloud platform to enable Mews to operate with a 'best possible' security posture in the cloud
• Building out an effective security posture that is tightly integrated to our cloud platform
• Enabling capabilities like zero trust, supply chain (SLSA), least privilege and taking a modern security lens to our operations
• Embedding security throughout our delivery pipelines so that users can focus on doing the job, with appropriate automated guardrails to elevate security throughout delivery
• Working cross functionally with the wider organisation to migrate existing infrastructure to the new platform.
• Building out processes, tooling, and most importantly culture around high security systems across our product teams
• Creating 'secure by default' approaches on the platform, so that out of the box, teams are already enabled with an effective security and compliance posture.
• Helping us to amplify best practice in the cloud through education, awareness raising, and evangelising, both without and outside the company
• Analysing and assessing the threat landscape around our products, and delivering approaches to minimise our attack surface

We're looking for someone who:

• Genuinely cares and enjoy helping your users, whilst balancing their needs with the business and security needs.
• Pursues tangible outcomes and has a high bias for action.
• Has excellent interpersonal skills/EQ, you are a low ego learner and sharer.
• Prides themself on your ability to collaborate closely with the whole team.
• Is on a great growth pathway for their security career, and wants to continue to grow that at Mews.

Has experience with some of these:

• Hands on security implementation in any of the cloud platforms (we operate in Azure) and may have had experience automating security provisioning and continuous integration/delivery using Infrastructure as Code
• Modern CI/CD pipelines and embedding security within them
• Development and scripting
• Alerting and monitoring effectively
• Running post-mortems and teaching the culture of security to non-ops engineers
• Disaster response, resilient systems engineering, and security automation
• Cloud security and systems hardening
• Comfortable both with pair working, and with independent work managing their own projects; but is also confident with sense-checks and check-ins to avoid chasing too many issues down rabbit holes.

Though don't worry if you don't have all of these, we'd still love to hear from you.

We want to get to know you, so it's only fair we tell you a little bit about ourselves first. 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. What's more, we take immense pride in being listed among the Best Places to Work in Hotel Tech during those same years and again this year. But our achievements don't stop there; Mews was also listed among the World's Best Hotel PMS Provider 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, which makes writing this tricky. 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 open invitation to after-work drinks, be they 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 we move fast, but we know the value of fun and taking a breather. We have slack channels for almost every interest imaginable, and an all-company meeting every Friday gives you the chance to ask any question to our leadership team.

We're guided by our five key values; if you see yourself in them, it's time to get in touch.

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 in this job role, we still encourage you to apply. We believe that everyone should have equal access to opportunities and want to ensure we provide an inclusive experience, so do let us know if there is anything else we can do to support your application process. We can't wait to hear from you

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