Help build the future of vehicle acquisition.
We're a small team building the platform dealers use to source profitable private-party inventory. If you like real problems, fast loops, and owning your work — we'd love to meet you.
A place where your work actually ships.
The kind of team where one person can move the whole product forward.
Real problem, real users
Dealers depend on Hooptie to source inventory every single day. The work you ship shows up on real lots.
Small team, big leverage
A lean group with outsized impact. Your decisions move the product — no layers, no waiting in line.
Ship fast
We get ideas in front of dealers in days, not quarters. Tight loops, fast feedback, real momentum.
Own your work
Take a problem end to end. You'll have the trust and the room to design, build, and own the outcome.
One acquisition engine for the whole market.
Dealers used to source inventory by hand — five marketplaces, a dozen tabs, and a race against the clock before the good cars disappeared. We're replacing all of that with a single platform that monitors, decodes, and scores every listing automatically.
It's a deep problem across data, real-time systems, and design — and we're still early. There's real room to shape the product and the engineering behind it.
One platform, every marketplace
Facebook, Craigslist, OfferUp, Cars.com, and AutoTrader — normalized into a single acquisition feed.
VIN & data intelligence
Automatic VIN decoding, market values, and margin scoring turn raw listings into decisions.
From independents to groups
Scaling acquisition from a single rooftop to enterprise dealer groups with teams and unlimited reach.
The principles behind every decision.
A small set of convictions that shape what we build and how we build it.
Dealer First
Every decision starts with the lot. If it doesn't help dealers buy better inventory, it doesn't ship.
Speed Matters
Good private-party deals disappear in minutes. We obsess over moving fast for the people who use us.
Data Over Guesswork
VIN decoding, market values, and margin scoring replace the gut-feel scanning dealers relied on.
Continuous Improvement
Marketplaces change constantly. We ship relentlessly so coverage and accuracy only get sharper.
Built for people who like to build.
No theatrics, no busywork — just a focused team and the room to do great work.
Remote-friendly
Work from wherever you do your best thinking. We optimize for output, not hours at a desk.
Real autonomy
Clear goals, then space to figure out the how. We hire people we trust to make the call.
Direct dealer feedback
Talk to the people who use what you build. Real signal beats a roadmap built in a vacuum.
Modern stack
Sharp tools and a clean codebase. We invest in the things that keep shipping fast and fun.
Low-ego team
Strong opinions, held loosely. The best idea wins, no matter who it comes from.
Build something that lasts
An early seat on a product reshaping how an entire industry sources inventory.
