🚗 Why us?
Jerry is a fast-growing, pre-IPO startup on a mission to revolutionize the $2T car ownership industry in the U.S. With $240M in funding, 40X revenue growth in just 4 years, and an ambitious plan to become a $10B company, we’re looking for driven individuals to help scale our product.
2024 was a milestone year for Jerry. We delivered nearly 50% year-over-year revenue growth while reaching profitability for the first time in our history.
Join a talented team with leaders from NVIDIA, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook, and more, and build one of the most exciting startups in the industry.
And we're just getting started! Jerry’s growth is driven by forward-thinking technology; Harvard Business Review covered the success of our chatbot less than a year after its launch and Jerry is getting mentioned in many conversations about our use of GenAI, such as this Forbes article.
