Software Engineering Manager

About Maven

Maven is building the next era of fleet management, dispatch, and infrastructure technology for the transportation and service industries. We are a fast-growing software company headquartered in Pittsburgh, delivering mission-critical solutions to many of the largest transportation operations in North America.

We operate at the intersection of operations software, real-time telematics, optimization research, and machine learning, building technology that is reshaping a massive, complex industry. Over the past twelve years, Maven’s cloud-based platform has been deployed to thousands of drivers and organizations across the U.S. and Canada, with several of the nation’s top 100 trucking fleets running their daily operations on our software.

As we continue to scale our platform and our teams, we are looking for a hands-on Software Engineering Manager to join our Product Development organization.

Position Summary

As a Software Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of software engineers while remaining deeply involved in hands-on development. This is not a purely managerial role — you will design systems, write production code, review pull requests, and help solve the team’s hardest technical problems.

You will balance technical execution, people leadership, and delivery, ensuring your team ships high-quality software while continuing to scale with the business. Your team will look to you for technical direction, organizational clarity, mentorship, and honest feedback in a fast-moving startup environment.

This role has a strong preference for candidates based in the Pittsburgh area, who can collaborate closely with our local engineering and product teams.

  • Actively contribute production code across backend, frontend, and platform systems
  • Lead system design and architectural decisions for your team’s areas of ownership
  • Review code and designs to ensure quality, performance, scalability, and maintainability
  • Tackle complex technical challenges and unblock the team when needed

Team & People Leadership

  • Lead, mentor, and develop a team of software engineers across experience levels
  • Foster a culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
  • Conduct regular 1:1s, provide actionable feedback, and support career growth
  • Recognize strong performance and proactively address performance issues

Execution & Collaboration

  • Own your team’s delivery commitments and ensure predictable execution
  • Balance delivery of customer-facing features with investment in technical debt
  • Partner closely with Product, Design, and other Engineering teams to align priorities
  • Translate company goals into a clear, actionable roadmap for your team
  • Continuously improve processes, tooling, and team effectiveness

Job Requirements

Required

  • BS or MS in Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
  • 7–10 years of experience in software engineering, including experience leading engineers
  • Strong hands-on experience designing, building, and maintaining production systems
  • Proven ability to write high-quality, maintainable code while managing a team
  • Experience delivering and operating large-scale or mission-critical applications
  • Ability to motivate teams and create a strong sense of ownership and accountability
  • Customer-focused mindset with a bias toward delivering real value

Preferred

  • Experience in a player/coach or hands-on engineering management role
  • Experience working in a fast-growing startup or high-growth environment
  • Experience building mobile or user-facing applications
  • Background in distributed systems, real-time systems, or data-intensive platforms
  • Prior experience partnering closely with Product Management

Location

  • Strong preference for candidates based in or willing to relocate to the Pittsburgh area
  • Hybrid or in-office collaboration expected with local engineering and product teams

Why Maven

  • High-impact, hands-on leadership role with real technical ownership
  • Opportunity to work on complex, real-world problems at meaningful scale
  • Strong engineering culture with room for both technical and people leadership
  • Career growth opportunities in a rapidly scaling technology company

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
