About AirGarage

AirGarage is on a mission to bring real estate online, starting with parking.

We replace broken parking machines, fragmented software, and manual, labor-intensive operations with a unified, data-rich operating system for parking real estate. We handle everything it takes to run and optimize a parking asset : payments, dynamic pricing, enforcement, license plate recognition, analytics, and more.

By building all of our technology in-house, we are able to deliver a magical experience for drivers while providing real-time visibility and revenue increases of 20-50% or more for real estate owners. That's why national realestate leaders like Hines and Greystar, as well as technology companies like Meta, partner with AirGarage to optimize their parking facilities.

AirGarage uses datapoints like real-time occupancy, local events, weather, driver behavior, competitor pricing, and more to bring true intelligence to real estate owners' assets for the first time.

We're investing aggressively to make the physical world legible to a digital system : cameras, sensors, and software that generate a firehose of real-time data about the world around us. That data fuels models and algorithms that allow us to optimize performance at each property while giving owners the clarity and control they've never had before.

Before you can optimize an asset, you need to observe it. Before you can observe it, you need to bring it online.

We are starting with the $131 billion US parking real estate market because it is one of the most offline and mismanaged commercial real estate asset types. 26% of the land area in the median American urban core is dedicated to parking.

We are backed by top tier investors including Headline Growth, Andreessen Horowitz, Floodgate, Founders Fund, Abstract Ventures, and angel investors who have founded or worked at companies like Uber, Opendoor, Flexport, and more.

The Role

As our Product Designer, you'll own the experience layer of how drivers, property owners, and parking managers interact with our platform from mobile apps to dashboards.

You'll work across the full design lifecycle : from hearing customer accounts firsthand to wireframes to polished UI, shipping intuitive, accessible, and efficient designs that serve a wide range of users, including those who are not always tech-savvy.

You'll be responsible for extending and evolving our existing design system. Your work will ensure visual and functional consistency across the entire product ecosystem, while solving real-world problems with speed and empathy.

The ideal candidate is practical, fast-moving, and user-obsessed. You should be comfortable working in ambiguity, shipping iteratively, and collaborating closely with engineering and product to move quickly and make meaningful impact.

Who You are

• You design for humans first. Whether someone is 17 or 70, you care about creating intuitive, frustration-free experiences. You understand that accessibility and clarity aren't optional.
• You love complex problems. Parking is messy. Each location has a different set of challenges and rules. You thrive on untangling it all and designing interfaces that make it feel simple and obvious.
• You think in flows, not just screens. You're always looking at the bigger picture : how users move through a journey, where they get stuck, and how to smooth their path with thoughtful interaction design.
• You're a systems thinker. Dashboards are your playground. You know how to structure data visually, prioritize information, and create reusable components that make scaling easy.
• You collaborate like a pro. You speak dev, work well with PMs, and get joy from user interviews. Feedback doesn't scare you.
• You have taste and humility. You bring beautiful design to life, but you're not going to die on every hill. You're willing to compromise in favor of what actually works for users.
• You're proactive, not passive. You don't wait for perfect specs. You ask questions, propose solutions, and take initiative to push the work forward even when there's ambiguity.

What You Will Do

What You Need

Why This Role May Not Be For You

We want to be upfront : this role won't be the right fit for everyone. If you're looking for a calm, pixel-perfect design job with slow timelines and minimal friction, this probably isn't it.

Here's why you might not want this job :

Why This Role is Exciting

IMPORTANT NOTE

AirGarage is a remote-first company, but we also value in-person collaboration to strengthen trust and teamwork. Team members should expect ~6 weeks of travel per year for :

The rest of the year, team members can work remotely from wherever (US time zones) they're most comfortable as long as they are performing well in their role. Attendance at in-person events throughout the year is expected-if you're not open to traveling ~6 weeks per year for work, this role isn't a good fit for you.

We understand that there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. We're looking for someone passionate, with grit and determination, who is excited to face the challenges of a rapidly growing startup. AirGarage is the type of company where you can grow exponentially, and we encourage you to apply to us even if you don't 100% match the candidate description.
