Help make the world more hospitable
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.
About the role
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:
This role owns Product and Engineering for Back of House, one of the most complex, multi-service domains on the Mews platform. Back of House covers the operational core that hotel teams rely on every day, and it needs someone who can set the product direction and run the engineering behind it, together. That combined mandate, product and engineering under one person at VP level, is rare, and the scale of hospitality technology right now makes it worth doing well.
You'll own the full domain: strategy, roadmap, and the engineering org that builds it, working closely and collaboratively with globally distributed teams across multiple time zones, and reporting into senior leadership. This isn't a narrow platform mandate. It spans product and engineering together, with the scope to make real calls on both, and the trust to run it as one connected domain.
Back of House software has to stay reliable at all times and keep improving, without ever pausing customer delivery to get there. The next phase of this role is about applying AI directly to the systems that support hotel teams, not just internal tooling, at a scale most engineering leaders never get to work at.
What You Would Do
- Own product and engineering strategy for Back of House end to end, across a genuinely multi-service architecture.
- Run globally distributed engineering teams across multiple time zones, building the structures that let them ship together.
- Build out a management team and develop senior ICs, growing a culture that holds up at scale.
- Improve reliability, performance and technical debt as ongoing disciplines, without stopping delivery to do it.
- Decide where AI genuinely belongs in the Back of House product, and ship AI-driven improvements that change how hotel teams work day to day.
AI Fluency Level 4: in this role that means going beyond using AI to move faster yourself. You'll decide where AI belongs in the Back of House product, understand the underlying models and infrastructure well enough to make real engineering calls about them, and have already shipped something where AI was a core part of the product, not a feature added on afterwards.
For more information on AI fluency at Mews, please refer to AI Fluency at Mews: A Comprehensive Guide for Candidates on Confluence.
What You Would Bring
- Combined Product and Engineering ownership at VP level, with clear, end-to-end ownership of a complex, multi-service product domain.
- A track record running globally distributed engineering teams across multiple time zones.
- Experience operating inside a scaling SaaS business, ideally Series C through pre-IPO or recently public, as an operator rather than an adviser.
- Effective people leadership: managing managers, developing senior ICs, and building healthy team cultures at scale, plus a track record of improving reliability, performance and technical debt without stopping delivery.
- AI Fluency Level 4 or the equivalent hands-on experience: you've shipped AI as a genuine part of a product, not just used it to speed up your own workflow.
Nice To Have
- Hands-on experience in hospitality technology: PMS, POS, channel management, revenue management, or closely adjacent systems.
- Travel tech experience (airlines, GDS, travel management companies), or comparable operationally critical, high-availability B2B platforms.
- Founder or early-stage builder experience, having built products from zero to scale.

Life at Mews
We're an equal opportunities employer. We value teams that reflect the diversity of the customers and communities we serve. Different perspectives make better ideas, stronger products and a more welcoming company.
We also believe transparency is important when deciding if you're the right fit. Mews is an ambitious, high-pressure environment of continuous learning and high standards. Success here requires resilience, adaptability and a willingness to solve difficult problems.
A few things that define how we work:
- High autonomy means high responsibility. People are expected to take ownership and drive outcomes. There isn't a detailed playbook for everything, and that's part of what makes the work challenging – and rewarding.
- Change is constant. We're growing quickly and adapting as we scale. Teams, processes and priorities continue to evolve, and only people who stay curious and agile will thrive.
- We're remote-first, not relationship-free. Flexibility is core to how we work, but strong relationships still matter. Our teams are global, so we need expert collaborators and communicators to help us move forward together.
- AI is an integral part of our processes. It's not here to steal people's jobs, but to amplify efficiency and productivity. We're motivated to proactively use the technology to seek out better ways of working and share our findings with the rest of the company.
If there's anything we can do to support you during the application process, let us know.
We don't discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability or any other protected characteristic.
One final thing: don't hold back. If you don't meet 100% of the criteria in this job description but you're certain you could make a big impact, apply. Everyone should have equal access to opportunities, and we're committed to providing an inclusive experience.
If Mews sounds like the kind of environment where you'd thrive, we'd love to hear from you.

Tips for Your Remote VP Engineering Job Search
Show your async leadership style early
Remote vp engineering hiring managers screen for candidates who lead through written clarity. Before applying, prepare concise written examples of how you've set technical direction, resolved cross-team conflict, and shipped product with a distributed team, all without relying on real-time meetings.
Find remote openings in one place
Migrate Mate lists remote vp engineering jobs from across the U.S. so you can search current openings by role, find the ones that fit your experience level and sector, and apply directly without chasing listings across multiple sources.
Target remote-first companies specifically
Companies built entirely on distributed teams hire vp engineers who understand remote operating models. Look for organizations that publish async engineering handbooks, use tools like Linear, Notion, or Loom as core workflow infrastructure, and promote remote culture as a structural choice, not a temporary policy.
Demonstrate remote engineering org design
Remote vp engineering interviews often probe how you structure an engineering organization across time zones. Prepare to discuss how you've handled on-call rotations, incident response, code review culture, and documentation practices in a distributed context, not just what you built.
Remote VP Engineering Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote vp engineering job?
Remote vp engineering roles go to candidates who can demonstrate autonomous leadership, strong written communication, and the ability to align distributed teams without in-person oversight. Remote-first companies and scaling SaaS firms tend to hire at this level remotely. What gives you an edge is a clear record of shipping product across distributed teams, comfort with async decision-making, and fluency in remote engineering culture.
Which companies hire remote vp engineerings?
Remote vp engineering roles are posted by Fidelity Investments, Mews, and Rain and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Remote-first technology firms, venture-backed SaaS companies, and distributed enterprise software teams are the most consistent sources of these openings.
Can you get a remote vp engineering job with no experience?
Yes, but remote vp engineering roles are senior by definition, so traditional entry-level paths are limited. Early-career candidates can target remote engineering manager or director roles at smaller remote-first startups, then build toward VP. What opens the door remotely is a demonstrated ability to lead without hand-holding, a strong async communication style, and measurable outcomes from prior technical leadership.
Do you need a degree for remote vp engineering jobs?
Not always. Many remote vp engineering roles list a degree as preferred rather than required, and remote employers in particular weight engineering output, leadership outcomes, and product delivery over credentials. A consistent record of building and scaling engineering teams, shipping reliable systems, and managing technical strategy carries more weight than the name on a diploma.
Which industries hire the most remote vp engineerings?
Most remote vp engineering openings sit in Technology & Software, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors rely on distributed engineering organizations and need senior technical leaders who can operate effectively without a centralized office.
