To REALLY stand out, you: 

• Lean a bit more frontend

As part of our close-knit team, you’ll be one of the first 10 employees to join alongside the founders. You’ll take on meaningful responsibilities and play a key role in our next stages of growth.

What is Garage?

Garage is an online marketplace and auction platform for used equipment– starting with firefighting equipment. Everything from helmets to fire trucks are bought and sold on Garage every day. We are an end to end marketplace– handling payments, freight, financing, and more so that firefighters can focus on what they do best.

Our team has worked at top companies (Twitter, Goldman Sachs, PayPal, Honey, Ramp, Mem AI) and is backed by leading investors including Y Combinator.

Our values 

• Growth oriented. We invest in people who grow as the company grows. We all should be constantly learning.

• 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.
