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
As the Founding Technical Recruiter, you will help build the Engineering, Product, and Design teams behind Garage’s next stage of growth. You’ll partner closely with the CTO/Co-founder and engineering leaders to identify the builders who can turn a complex, mission-critical marketplace into an experience that customers love.
This is a hands-on role for someone who treats sourcing as a craft. You will own searches end to end, build targeted pipelines from scratch, run a fast and thoughtful process, and help Garage raise the bar with every hire.
Own full-cycle hiring across engineering, product, design, and data science, partnering with founders to attract and close exceptional technical talent.
Build and execute targeted sourcing strategies using outbound, referrals, communities, and technical communities to fill high-priority roles quickly.
Run structured, high-quality recruiting processes, from screening through offer, while delivering an exceptional candidate experience.
Track pipeline health in Ashby and build scalable recruiting systems and playbooks.
Help grow out our recruiting team as the company grows.
What we’re looking for
Treats recruiting as an ownership role and cares deeply about quality of hire.
Knows how to engage technical talent and can make Garage stand out through compelling outreach.
Enjoys building processes where it helps, but prefers practical systems over heavy recruiting bureaucracy.
Is excited by Garage’s stage: small team, high trust, high ownership, and a lot of foundational hiring still ahead.
Required
Full-cycle experience in hiring technical talent for software engineering, design, product development, and data science.
A strong network with existing knowledge of the NYC startup talent market.
Ability to close talent with a strong eye for culture fit.
Passion for building high-performance teams in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
Experience using Ashby, Juicebox, Metaview, Gem, Clay, ChatGPT, Claude, or other modern recruiting and AI tools.
Strong organization in an ATS like Ashby.
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.
