The role
Maven is the missing grad school for technology jobs. We have the largest collection of expert-led cohort-based-courses on the topics that matter most in today's careers.
We’re looking for full-stack product engineers to own big parts of our fast growing marketplace, from recommendation systems, to data infrastructure, to the course experience at the center of it. You will have a big role on a growing team.
The ideal candidate has shipped meaningful features to a real user base and is comfortable with a broad set of concerns that come with building production web apps.
(We use React+Nextjs, Python+FastAPI, Postgres+OpenSearch, OpenAI, dbt+Snowflake).
The team
We’re a team of just under 20, working remotely but meeting in person 4x a year. Many of us have worked together for 3+ years and the whole team works really well together.
I (Shreyans, co-founder and CTO) built a lot of Venmo's earliest systems before starting, building, and selling Socratic - an early AI-powered education apps - to Google. My co-founder and CEO, Gagan, was a co-founder at Udemy. Our designer designed Twitter threads and the Airbnb listings page, and others on the team are equally capable.
We are closely connected to our instructors and students and learn from our frequent dialogues, effectively and openly debate decisions, and move with conviction but an open mind.
About Maven
We are the largest marketplace of expert-led cohort-based courses on the Internet. This is a major innovation from existing video-based courses, because cohort-based courses involve a live instructor, an engaging cohort community and the accountability of a start and end time. Whereas a standard self-paced course has a 5-10% completion rate, Maven's completion rate is closer to 70-90%.
We've raised $25 million from Andreessen Horowitz, First Round, and great angel investors, and are aiming for profitability in the coming years.
