We’re a passionate team dedicated to empowering developers to build the future of mobility. If you’re excited about building an API that has endless use cases for EV charging, auto insurance, car sharing, and much more, then check out our open positions below.
What we do
Smartcar is the leading developer platform for mobility businesses. Founded in 2015, we are backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), New Enterprise Associates (NEA), and Energize Capital.

By making it easy to connect to their customers’ vehicles, we enable companies to focus on what’s important: unlocking the freedom of movement for everyone.
