Company Description

Maeve is an AI-powered study platform on a mission to help students crush their exams and unlock their full potential. We’re one of the fastest-growing startups in Belgium, backed by founders with deep expertise in AI and entrepreneurship.

We’re looking for a founding full-stack engineer to join our early team and help shape our core product. This is a rare Day 0 opportunity where you’ll have a massive impact on both technology and business. If you thrive in fast-moving environments, love to build and iterate, and dream of owning a product that could reshape an entire industry, let’s talk.

What you will do:

• First mission - Build our mobile app: Your first big mission will be to turn our web app into a sleek, powerful mobile experience.
• Ship features with AI: Work closely with our CTO to develop and scale new features — including AI-powered tools, recommendation engines, and backend services.
• Grow into a leader: Learn directly from our CTO, sharpening your technical and leadership skills to prepare you for a future CTO role.

Who you are:

• You want to grow into a CTO role within ~2 years and start your own company.
• You’re not afraid to learn fast and experiment with new technologies.
• You’ve already built at least 1–2 projects in your free time (professional experience is not required).
• Strong in mobile application development and excited to learn how to work with LLMs and AI-powered systems.
• You’re curious about how AI tools can give you superpowers as a builder.

What we offer:

• High market salary + equity — real skin in the game.
• A scrappy, passionate team that’s allergic to mediocrity.
• We believe in flexibility and trust: if you need to step out for a dentist appointment or personal matter, you don’t need to request formal approval.
• Direct mentorship from founders who live and breathe AI:
• Viktor (CEO): Background in Business Engineering, Grew with Dataroots (international AI agency) from 30 → 150+ people.
• Richard (CTO): Background in mathematics, guest lecturer at university, and second time CTO.
• Our culture is built on teamwork and face-to-face collaboration, so this role is primarily office-based in Ghent.

Applicants must have the right to work in Belgium at the time of application.
