About Garage
Garage is a marketplace for local governments to buy and sell their equipment (from radios to fire trucks). Today, equipment and vehicles bought on Garage already serve millions of Americans across all 50 states, helping cities stretch their budgets further.
We’ve raised $18M to date, funded by Y Combinator and Initialized Capital, among others. We’re a small, talent-dense team (ex- Twitter, Ramp, Goldman Sachs, PayPal, Honey, Mem AI) based in NYC. As our founding designer, you’ll report directly to the founders and CTO.
We believe that design sits at the core of our success. With so many products out there, exceptional design is foundational to becoming a leader in our industry. We want to set a new standard of excellence and build the marketplace of the future.
About The Role:
- We’re looking for someone to shape and grow the design function across both brand and product.
- Own the visual design of our products, mainly relating to end-to-end buyer and seller experiences on the marketplace.
- Create visually compelling sales and marketing materials (static and video) that will be consumed by hundreds of thousands around the country.
- Work closely with marketing and engineering to ship high-fidelity designs.
- Talk to customers and use data, research, and iteration to continuously improve user experiences.
- Help us build out our design team, and dive deep into areas that you find more interesting as we grow.
- Ability and willingness to work in-person in NYC.
- A creative designer comfortable working in a fast-moving, high-performance startup environment.
- Expertise in UX, with a deep understanding of user flows, interaction design, and usability.
- A sharp eye for visual design and detail-oriented.
- Competitive salary, stock option, and growth potential.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Unlimited paid time off every year.
- $100 / month wellness stipend.
- Annual team offsite.
- Events with other Y Combinator companies in NYC.
As an equal-opportunity employer, we are committed to building an inclusive environment where you can be you. We work hard to evaluate all employees and job applicants consistently, without regard to race, color, religion, gender, natural origin, age, disability, pregnancy, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected class.
