Maven, founded by Udemy co-founder Gagan Biyani and former Venmo engineer Shreyans Bhansali, is revolutionizing professional education through their marketplace of expert-led cohort-based courses. The platform hosts over 500 courses focused on critical professional skills, and has shown impressive growth of over 100% last year. Backed by $25M in funding from Andreessen Horowitz and First Round, Maven is tracking towards profitability.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll join a high-caliber team of 20 professionals who have built significant products at companies like Google, Twitter, Venmo, and Udemy. You'll have substantial ownership over technical systems and product roadmap, working on crucial components like the marketplace storefront, next-generation course platform, and recommendation systems. The tech stack includes React+Nextjs, Python+FastAPI, Postgres+OpenSearch, OpenAI, and dbt+Snowflake.
The role offers a competitive compensation package of $170-220k with strong equity, and embraces remote work culture while maintaining team cohesion through quarterly in-person meetings. You'll be working alongside experienced leaders including CTO Shreyans Bhansali, who built Venmo's early systems and sold Socratic to Google, and CEO Gagan Biyani, Udemy's co-founder.
This position is ideal for a senior engineer who values autonomy, enjoys full-stack development, and wants to make a significant impact in the education technology space. The team culture emphasizes open dialogue, effective decision-making, and maintaining close connections with instructors and students.
