Senior/Staff Software Engineer

Maven is the home for human expertise on the Internet. We started with practical, professional courses on key skills taught by leading experts in your field. Think: learning AI Product Management from a head of product at OpenAI or an engineering lead at Meta. Our cohort-based model means engagement rates are 80-90% instead of the 5-10% from video-based learning. Over 500 experts use Maven and they earn $40M/year on the platform.

Maven now aims to be the #1 destination for expert creator businesses that include workshops, courses, corporate consulting, 1:1 coaching, and educational products. Today, we're direct to consumer but eventually we'll offer certificate programs, MBA-like programs, and sell directly to businesses.

We’re the industry leaders in a growing segment of the creator economy. As the need to learn AI grows, Maven has become the place to learn valuable skills. As AI takes over more mid-level IC tasks, access to human expertise is ever-more important. We've raised $25 million from Andreessen Horowitz, First Round, and a supportive network of industry angels. Join us to do the best work of your career, and help every professional access the world’s most impressive human experts.

We’re looking for full-stack product engineers to own big parts of our fast growing marketplace including our marketplace storefront, next-gen course platform, and recommendation and data systems.

What makes this role great:

• High degree of ownership over our technical systems and product roadmap
• Work with a world class team (we've built big things at Google, Twitter, Venmo, Udemy, and more)
• Fast growing marketplace of highly-rated courses, including many million-dollar instructors
• Close knit team with the flexibility of remote work (in the US/Canada)

You should apply if you:

• Have 5+ years of experience shipping real features to a real user base (excluding personal or school projects)
• Are as comfortable dealing React hooks and data model design as with Postgres performance
• Exhibit a high degree of agency and conscientiousness in your work
• Are a crisp and thoughtful communicator

We use React+Nextjs, Python+FastAPI, Postgres+OpenSearch, OpenAI, dbt+Snowflake.

Maven is committed to having a small, empowered team (currently 25 total), so you should be excited to do your own market research, strategic thinking, end-to-end sales, and day-to-day operations.

We are high-ownership and high-collaboration. We post regular status updates to dedicated Slack channels to get input. If you’re blocked, everyone is there to help (but otherwise we’ll assume you’re on it). This makes Maven a great cross-functional learning environment. Expect direct feedback every single day!

Ownership, collaboration, and feedback are not just nice ideas here; we are fully remote, so they are required. We are a writing-focused company, with no-meeting Wednesdays for getting shit done. We gather for a week-long offsite twice a year where we discuss company strategy, hack on new product offerings, and get absurdly competitive over random games.

Open to anyone in US/Canadian time zones.

Salary range: $170-220k, with strong equity and benefits.
