Role overview
CarGurus is transforming how the company operates by embedding AI into workflows across every function — product, engineering,
revenue, finance, support. It’s a software engineering role where the domain is the entire business. You’ll work directly with
teams across the org to understand how work actually gets done, identify where AI can change the unit of work or shift where
judgment lives, and build the systems that make it real. Some of that is agent-based automation. Some of it is workflow redesign.
All of it requires someone who can architect and ship production-quality software, not stitch together SaaS integrations. This is
not a Salesforce developer, Boomi connector, or low-code/no-code position, nor is it an enterprise architect or ML model training
role.
This is a small, high-autonomy team reporting to the Head of AI Solutions. You’ll have outsized influence on how a publicly traded
company with ~$1B in revenue adopts AI — not as a pilot or a demo, but as a structural change in how the business runs. You will
be successful here if you are a product-caliber engineer who finds internal workflow transformation genuinely interesting — not a
consolation prize, but the most leveraged place to be right now. You’d rather build something real that 200 people use tomorrow
than something polished that ships in 6 months.
What you'll do
existing workflows, and identify high-leverage opportunities for AI.
specs.
intelligent tooling.
everything to be clean before you start building.
What you'll bring
something that ran in production or was used by real people.
the high-impact problems live.

We have a people-first culture that fosters kindness, collaboration, and innovation, and empowers our Gurus with tools to fuel their career growth. Disrupting a trillion-dollar industry requires fresh and diverse perspectives. Come join us for the ride! Role overview CarGurus is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Cloud Enablement team. This team builds and operates the cloud platform capabilities, automation, and guardrails that help engineering teams provision infrastructure, deploy services, and work securely in the cloud with less friction. In this role, you will contribute to the design, implementation, and operation of scalable platform services that improve developer experience, strengthen reliability, and support self-service infrastructure across the company. We are looking for an engineer who is hands-on, execution-oriented, and motivated by building practical solutions that other engineers rely on every day. Our primary domains include: * Infrastructure Delivery: HCP Terraform workspaces, Terraform module registry governance, Sentinel and Semgrep policy enforcement, and self-service IaC paved paths for development teams. * Secrets Management: HashiCorp Vault implementation, dynamic short-lived credentials, PKI/CA, and supporting the rollout of zero-static-credential patterns across production workloads. * CI/CD Platform: GitHub Actions maturity (GHES, GitHub Connect, org-scoped runners), Concourse infrastructure, and pipeline supply-chain security. * AWS Self-Service: No-code and IaC-driven provisioning for S3, Lambda, ElastiCache, and expanding the self-service catalog to new resource types. * AI Infrastructure Governance: Governed Amazon Bedrock access, per-team token quotas and cost dashboards, Bedrock Savings Plan management, and developer AI tooling (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) governance. * Platform Integrity: Sentinel/Semgrep policy maturity, shift-left guardrails, pipeline hardening, and cloud maturity model advancement. What you'll do * Platform Delivery & Technical Ownership: Own the technical execution and delivery of significant platform capabilities. Author design docs and contribute to Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for team-level decisions. Lead complex, multi-sprint initiatives (e.g., Vault dynamic secrets rollout, GitHub Actions maturity, AWS Sandbox self-service) end-to-end through to production. * IaC Platform & Policy Engineering: Manage HCP Terraform workspaces, the Terraform module registry, and Sentinel/Semgrep policy implementations. Calibrate hard vs. advisory guardrails, eliminate false positives, and expand coverage as new resource types onboard to self-service. * Secrets & Security Integration: Accelerate Vault adoption across CarGurus workloads — handling dynamic secrets, PKI/CA, transit encryption, and AWS dynamic IAM credentials. Execute the tactical roadmaps toward zero standing long-lived credentials in production. * AI Infrastructure Governance: Maintain and operate our governed Amazon Bedrock platform, implementing per-team access controls, cost attribution, anomaly detection, and self-service access patterns. Assist in extending governance to developer AI tooling (Claude Code, Copilot) as adoption scales. * Developer Enablement & Self-Service: Expand the AWS self-service catalog and paved-path IaC offerings so teams can provision, operate, and own cloud resources independently. Monitor adoption metrics and use feedback to prioritize the next platform investments. * CI/CD & Pipeline Integrity: Execute GitHub Actions maturity initiatives including GitHub Connect adoption, org-scoped runner observability, bundled action governance, CircleCI adoption and migration, and pipeline supply-chain hardening. Ensure teams can deliver reliably on modern, self-owned CI/CD infrastructure. * Mentorship & Code Quality: Actively grow teammates' capabilities through thorough code and IaC reviews, pairing on complex problems, and sharing context and patterns that help the immediate team move more independently. Contribute to team coding standards and documentation. * Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with adjacent teams (Cloud Infrastructure, SRE, DevX, and product engineering) to align on technical concerns at team boundaries. Represent Cloud Enablement's perspective clearly in shared discussions and help resolve integration ambiguity. * Incident Management & Reliability: Participate in the team's on-call rotation and incident response. Apply incident learnings to improve platform reliability and reduce toil for the team and its customers. * AI-Assisted Engineering: Actively incorporate AI tooling (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q) into your engineering workflow — from generating and reviewing IaC to accelerating architecture exploration and incident triage. What you'll bring * 4+ years of professional experience in a hands-on DevOps, platform engineering, or cloud infrastructure role, performing the core responsibilities of this position. * Cloud Infrastructure Depth: Significant experience operating production workloads in AWS including IAM, S3, Lambda, EKS, ElastiCache, EC2, and related services. Comfortable reasoning about security, cost, and reliability trade-offs at platform scale. * Infrastructure as Code & Policy Engineering: High proficiency with Terraform, including HCP Terraform, remote state, module design, and workspace governance. Hands-on experience with Sentinel and/or Semgrep for policy-as-code enforcement. * Secrets Management: Practical experience with HashiCorp Vault dynamic secrets, PKI/CA, AppRole/Kubernetes auth, or transit encryption. Experience migrating workloads from static credentials to short-lived credential models. * CI/CD & Platform Engineering: Deep experience with GitHub Actions runner infrastructure, composite actions, GHES/GHEC, and supply-chain security practices. Familiarity with CircleCI or similar pipeline systems. * FinOps & AI Awareness: Ability to reason about cloud cost attribution, resource tagging strategies, and FinOps tooling (e.g., CloudZero, AWS Cost Explorer). Familiarity with Amazon Bedrock, LLM API cost structures, and basic governance considerations (spend attribution, access controls). * Programming & Automation: Proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language (Python, Go, or similar) for building automation, CLI tooling, and platform integrations. * Systems Thinking & Communication: Able to distill complex technical problems into clear design docs, written proposals, and stakeholder-facing summaries. Comfortable working across teams to align on shared technical boundaries. The displayed range represents the expected annual base salary / On-Target Earnings (OTE) for this position.

Role overview CarGurus is looking for a Senior User Experience Designer to lead the evolution of our design system to enable faster, more consistent product development across all products and platforms. Ultimately, you will empower our designers and engineers with a high-leverage single source of truth that multiplies output and streamlines the entire development lifecycle. You are the keeper of shared standards — the person who makes it easier for every designer and engineer to ship better work. What you'll do * Define, maintain, and evolve components, patterns, and interaction standards that serve the full product surface. * Partner closely with Engineering on system implementation, architecture decisions, and handoff processes. * Proactively identify gaps by monitoring how the system is used across products, and close those gaps before they become workarounds. * Reduce redundant design and development work by standardizing the most common solutions. * Support design and engineering teams in adopting the system effectively, through documentation, reviews, and direct collaboration. * Govern the contribution process: how changes get proposed, reviewed, and approved. * Maintain a healthy system backlog and triage incoming requests with clear prioritization. What you'll bring * 7+ years of experience in UX/product design, with at least 4 years focused on design systems * Proven expertise working with Figma variables and component architecture, including how they map to coded token structures. * Working knowledge of front-end fundamentals (HTML, CSS) * Experience dealing with accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) and how they inform component design and documentation. * Strong systems thinking; you naturally see patterns, spot inconsistencies, and design for reuse. * Demonstrated experience building and scaling a design system, ideally at a product company with multiple teams. * Ability to balance consistency with flexibility; you know when to standardize and when to leave room for product judgment. * Comfort working closely with Engineering, including familiarity with how design tokens, component libraries, and handoff tooling work in practice. * AI-first mindset by proactively integrating LLMs and automation into the design system workflow to reduce manual friction, while maintaining a critical eye for quality and system integrity * Clear communicator and cross-team influencer — you can get alignment from designers, engineers, and PMs without authority. * Detail-oriented and reliable; teams depend on the system being accurate and well-documented. * Comfortable in a governance role: setting standards, running reviews, and saying no when the system integrity is at stake. Nice to haves * Hands-on experience with design token pipelines and tooling (e.g., Style Dictionary, Theo, or equivalent). * Certification in IAAP/WAAS is a distinct advantage. * Experience with component library tooling, including writing or reviewing component documentation at the code layer. * Familiarity with version control (Git) and how design system changes move through a development workflow.
