À propos

Prior to Ekho, one of the largest retail segments in the world had no checkout button. If you wanted to buy a vehicle online, the best you could do was fill out an “I’m Interested” form and wait for someone to call you back. Found the bike of your dreams at a dealership two states away? You were mostly on your own. Tax requirements, titling workflows, and registration rules vary by state and county. Most dealers didn’t sell across state lines at all, because they had no reliable way to do it. Now they can. A buyer finds a bike, clicks “Buy Now,” completes financing and insurance verification online, and gets it delivered to their door in a few days. The whole thing takes as few as ten minutes. And the dealer doesn’t have to be at their desk (let alone awake) for any of it. The first time one of our dealers woke up to a completed overnight sale, they messaged us: “Oh my God, this is crazy. We just fulfilled a transaction while the whole team was asleep.” We get messages like this regularly now, and they’re no less exciting than the first one was. What made it possible was 18 months of untangling a combinatorics problem disguised as county‑specific titling and registration, and integrating with 50 DMVs that still prefer faxes to APIs. That foundation is built. Now we’re putting AI on top of it, expanding into cars, and building the transaction layer that works in‑store as well as online. One thing worth saying directly: Anthropic can’t ship something tomorrow that makes this company obsolete. The moat is the foundation beneath the code: the 50‑state compliance framework, the DMV relationships, and the legal licenses we’ve secured. That’s not something you can prompt your way around. Unlike most startups right now, we’re not racing against the next model update. Where you’ll spend your time
Here’s what a typical week might look like (though we can guarantee no two weeks will look the same): About half your time might go to client onboarding: figuring out the right integrations with the vendors a new dealer already uses, configuring fee logic that’s never quite the same twice, building sandbox buyer portals so dealers can experience their own checkout flow before going live. The other half comes from dealers themselves: feature requests, feedback, and problems that surface once they're actually using the product. A dealer sees something during a walkthrough and asks for manufacturer rebates displayed automatically. Another wants insurance verification handled via a direct call with the provider instead of an automated check. You scope it, build a V1, and figure out what it looks like at scale. The most interesting integration in the queue: getting Ekho’s fee logic to speak Lightspeed’s language—the inventory management system most of our dealers already run. You’ll work inside the core payment system, understand how it currently models fees, figure out how to extend it accurately, build a settings UI for dealer configuration, and make sure the logic holds across every edge case… all while a dealer is waiting to go live. You’ll be touching payments infrastructure, product, and client‑facing configuration simultaneously. Our first car dealer went live a few weeks ago. By end of year, the goal is an in‑store transaction layer: iPads on the showroom floor where a buyer who just test‑drove a bike can complete the full purchase without touching a piece of paper. The FDE who joins now will be in the room when we figure out what that looks like. Your mandate is to own the client relationship technically, from first integration through ongoing development, and make sure everything you learn from clients feeds back into the platform—including identifying what should eventually be self‑serve so that onboarding scales without always requiring a human in the loop.
