Job description
**About us** Garage powers the exchange of critical assets across America’s essential industries. We started with fire departments, where purchasing mission-critical vehicles and equipment used to take months of paperwork, phone calls, and delays. Our agentic platform automates the entire transaction: discovery, payments, freight, paperwork, warranty, and financing. What once took months now takes minutes. In under a year, we’ve expanded to cities and towns in all 50 states and grown revenue more than 10x. Based in New York, we’ve raised $18M from Y Combinator, Initialized Capital, Infinity Ventures, FJ Labs, and other leading investors. We’re moving fast, growing quickly, and just getting started. **About the role** You’ll join a small team working directly with the founders on a platform with real-world impact. We obsess over user experience and ship products end-to-end. You’ll have the opportunity to make a direct, meaningful impact, shaping product strategy and building systems that move essential equipment and vehicles to communities across 50 states. * Build and own core systems across our marketplace and operations stack. * Automate complex workflows spanning payments, logistics, compliance, and financing. * Design APIs, data models, and services that move real assets at scale. * Work closely with product and operations to ship quickly and reliably. **What we’re looking for** * You think in systems, not tickets. * You get excited by operating in a high-performance startup environment. * You would love to be customer-facing. * You play for the front of the jersey, having strong opinions, a willingness to question the status quo, and a drive to become a real expert in whatever space you work in. All while being a great team communicator. **Required** * Strong portfolio or GitHub showcasing full-stack expertise. * Proficiency in React, TypeScript, Node.js, and modern frontend and backend frameworks. * Experience designing and working with scalable databases and APIs. **Nice to have** * Startup experience as a technical co-founder or early engineer at a Series A/B/C startup. * 4+ years of experience. **Our values** * **Growth oriented.** We invest in people who grow as the company grows. We all should be constantly learning. * **Humility.** Everyone has a lot to give and a lot to learn. We believe in creating an environment where the best ideas win and acknowledging when we are wrong. * **Customer focused.** We have a genuine love for our customers. Customer success is our success. * **Hack to success.** We move fast and take big swings. We always aim for a solution that addresses 80% of the problem in 20% of the time. We make informed bets, launch quickly, and iterate. **Why Garage?** * Our product is something people use everyday to buy the equipment local communities everywhere depend on. * We’ve grown revenue over 10x in the last year and are well capitalized with $18M in funding raised total. * We have a talent-dense, high-performing team from Ramp, Twitter, Goldman Sachs, Bilt, Wise, Unify, Honey, PayPal, and more. * You’ll be one of our first 35 employees, operating as a foundational member of the team, partnering alongside the company’s founders. **What we offer** * Competitive salary and stock options * Health, dental and vision insurance (100% covered) * Unlimited paid time off every year (in addition to company observed holidays) * Daily lunch and dinner * $100 monthly wellness stipend * 401(k) with employer match * Pre-tax commuter benefits * Bi-annual team offsite * Relocation assistance
