What We Do
Founded in 2005, TrueCar has built a trusted brand and a strong reputation for providing consumers with useful tools, research, market context, and pricing transparency as they embark on their car-buying journey. The Company is bringing more of the purchasing process online by enabling consumers to find a new or used vehicle that is right for them, apply for financing, and sell or trade in their current vehicle.

It’s a company where you can grow your career and have a fulfilling, flexible role. We value the entrepreneurial spirit and encourage the TrueCar Crew to take ownership of both their projects and their careers.
We’ve created a comprehensive benefits package that recognizes and rewards our TrueCar Crew's passion and effort. In addition to competitive compensation and 401(k) matching, we also offer personalized benefits including home office connectivity allowances, community impact days and matching donation program, a generous equity package for eligible positions, wellness reimbursements, and, because everyone needs an occasional recharge, an excellent PTO policy and 14 paid holidays.
