Maven, the largest marketplace of expert-led cohort-based courses, is seeking a Full-Stack Product Engineer to join their innovative education technology platform. Founded by experienced entrepreneurs including a former Venmo engineer and Udemy co-founder, Maven has revolutionized online learning through their cohort-based approach, achieving 70-90% completion rates compared to traditional 5-10% in self-paced courses.
The role offers an exceptional opportunity to own and develop crucial aspects of Maven's growing marketplace, from recommendation systems to data infrastructure and core course experiences. Working with modern technologies like React+NextJS, Python+FastAPI, and various databases, you'll have significant technical ownership and the ability to shape both product direction and your role's evolution.
Maven's team of about 20 professionals works remotely but maintains strong connections through quarterly in-person meetings. The company culture emphasizes open dialogue, effective decision-making, and maintaining close relationships with instructors and students. Having raised $25 million from prestigious investors like Andreessen Horowitz and First Round, Maven is on a clear path to profitability.
This position is ideal for engineers who value autonomy, impact, and the opportunity to work on meaningful education technology. The role offers competitive compensation ($170-220k), strong equity, and the chance to work with a highly capable team including veterans from companies like Twitter and Airbnb. Maven's commitment to transforming online education through community-driven learning makes this an exciting opportunity for those passionate about both technology and education.
