About Maven

Maven is reinventing professional education. We believe professionals should learn every year from real-world experts. Today, we have 50K+ student alumni and 500K+ registered users. Our marketplace features over 500 expert-led, cohort-based courses focused on the critical skills needed to succeed.

We’re a founder-led company—our CEO, Gagan co-founded Udemy, and our CTO, Shreyans, was the first engineer at Venmo. Maven is scaling quickly: our business grew over 100% last year. We’ve raised $25M from Andreessen Horowitz, First Round, and top industry angels. We’re a tight-knit team of 18, on track to profitability while growing over 2x YoY. Check out this case study by our Head of Product, Rishin, on how we achieved this growth through multi-year bets.

Team & Culture

Design is a strategic partner at Maven. We meet regularly with co-founders and cross-functional leads to shape the roadmap and conduct regular research sessions to deeply understand our customers. We move fast, iterate quickly, and value people who take ownership and bring fresh perspectives..

Our product team is small (2 PMs, 2 Designers, 6 Engineers), but mighty. We're fully remote, so we invest heavily in creating shared context through an open culture. We meet twice a year at company-wide off-sites and twice a year at hackathons. Everyone has high agency, deeply cares about what we’re building, and effortlessly wears the student and instructor hats.

We value candidates who:

• Take pride in doing great work, and in helping others do the same
• Think and act like an owner
• Communicate openly and provide constructive feedback to team members
• Are willing to throw away ideas, and are optimistic enough to keep hunting for new ones
• Think 80/20 and focus on getting the right stuff done

Compensation
$150k-$200k in salary, with strong benefits, and equity.
