About the role
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.

- Automate complex workflows spanning payments, logistics, compliance, and financing.
- Design APIs, data models, and services that move real assets at scale.

Our values

- 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.
