Benefits
• Estimated Base Salary $185K – $235K • Offers Equity • Offers Bonus • Maven AGI sits at the center of the hottest intersection in tech right now: AI and customer experience. While most "AI support" tools still focus on FAQs and deflection, Maven's agents actually do the work, autonomously interacting with customers, personalizing the conversation, and resolving complex issues, not just providing information. • Founded in 2023 by executives from HubSpot, Google, and Stripe, Maven builds conversational AI agents that don't just answer customers, they act: going into a customer's account, finding the actual problem, and fixing it, with no human required. Customers like Dell, ServPro, HardRock, Tripadvisor, Clio, and Thumbtack rely on Maven, with independently verified results — customers report resolving 70–93% of interactions autonomously — and G2 has named Maven a High Performer and Best Meets Requirements across multiple categories. • 100% of medical, dental, and vision premiums covered for you, 80% for family • HSA and FSA plans available • Unlimited vacation and 100% paid parental leave • Free lunches, onsite gym, and commuter benefits for in-office employees • $1,000 home office stipend and $5,000/year for continuing education • Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and meaningful equity • ~130 people, built from zero in under three years — small enough that your work is visible, big enough to already be running at Dell- and Tripadvisor-scale
