CarGurus jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

CarGurus runs an online marketplace where people buy and sell cars. About 45 million people visit it each month, and about 34,000 dealers use its products. It also runs CarOffer, Autolist, and PistonHeads, and has sites in Canada and the UK. It started in 2006 and is listed on NASDAQ.

What they value

• Collaborate and use feedback from each other and customers.
• Pioneer: take on hard problems and take risks.
• Be transparent and give unbiased guidance.
• Decide with data, not hunches.
• Move quickly and learn fast from failure.
• Act with integrity and high ethical standards.

Where they hire

Most openings are in Boston, in the US. Several are in Dublin, Ireland, where a new office works on products for Canada and the UK. A few sales roles are remote or in Tampa. Roles are hybrid, and Boston roles work from the Back Bay office. The postings say nothing about visa sponsorship.

Teams and roles

• Engineering and Technology: software engineers at all levels, front-end engineers in Dublin, DevOps and platform engineers, machine learning operations, security, QA, and IT.
• Sales and Revenue: business development representatives, account executives and managers, regional sales directors, and ad operations.
• Product: product managers and product data analysts for dealers and for international markets.
• Marketing, Finance, People, and Corporate Strategy roles.

The business development representative role is a starting point for a sales career, and it does not need sales experience.

What they look for

Engineering roles ask for Java, SQL, React, and TypeScript, with distributed systems and microservices. Platform roles ask for AWS, Terraform, and Kubernetes. Many postings ask for use of AI tools, such as AI coding tools or Claude Code. Sales roles ask for a record of meeting quotas. Product roles ask for five or more years and strong data skills. Some roles ask for a bachelor degree.
