Maven is on a mission to automate trucking operations and change how the world moves freight. Since 2014, Maven has been providing software to many of the nation's top trucking and transportation fleets to power their mission critical operations and keep the economy moving. We work at the intersection of operations software, real-time telematics, optimization research, and machine learning and AI to build technology that is changing a massive industry. As one of the fastest growing tech startups in the logistics space, we are looking for exceptionally bright and talented individuals to add to our world-class team.
Maven's cloud platform is the secret sauce that powers all the core experiences for our products. These backend systems perform a wide variety of tasks from processing millions of vehicle telematics pings, performing real time dispatching, route planning and optimization tasks, to being the system of record for track and trace for hundreds of thousands of shipments daily. Working in the logistics industry means that our backend systems need to be robust, scalable, and enterprise ready to support a 24/7 industry that keeps the world moving. Maven is looking for a staff software engineer who is excited by our mission and can use their experience and knowledge to own and lead large parts of our backend systems to help us unlock our next phase of growth and scale.
