— A Mews R&D MiniPodcast about one engineer’s journey through roles in backend and management

Welcome to the Mews R&D mini podcast series! Bite-sized conversations with the people behind our tech – short interviews, fresh insights, and more guests from across Mews R&D. Stay tuned for stories, ideas, and a peek behind the curtain of how we build.

In this episode, our R&D Community Lead, Jan Meissner, sits down with Ondra Heřmánek, Staff Backend Engineer and true Mews veteran. Together, they explore Ondra’s fascinating career path — from hands-on backend engineering to leading teams as Head of Backend and Engineering Manager, and ultimately returning to his roots as a Staff Engineer.

What drives someone to step away from management and back into code? What lessons does Ondra carry from each role? And how does it shape the way he works today?
