CarGurus is a fast-growing web company that uses data and technology to help consumers find the best car deals from top rated car dealers. Founded in 2006 by Langley Steinert, also a co-founder of TripAdvisor, we are now the 2nd largest auto shopping site in the US by daily user traffic. At CarGurus, we believe that a transparent car shopping experience is better for shoppers and sellers alike, and we are constantly innovating so we can deliver on that promise. Today more than15 million (and growing) unique monthly visitors use our site and mobile app to find their next car.

With headquarters in Harvard Square, CarGurus has that "start-up feel" (we dislike meetings, play lots of foosball, have catered lunches and fun company outings, the list goes on…). Unlike many start-ups, however, we have the advantage of being profitable (for 5.5 years!) with sustained revenue growth.
CarGurus is an engineering-driven company with a passion for data, and that drives everything from the speed at which we launch new products to the spirit of innovation that informs our company ethos.

Since we reach over 15 M unique visitors monthly, the cornerstone of our development team  continues to be  developing and scaling our website. We are constantly  creating new algorithms and  products to meet the needs of our end users. Our passion is web development, search and data analysis. We need engineers that have that same passion. We have a belief in giving our engineers the autonomy to be successful.

On a day to day basis:

Our engineers work independently on the full stack. You will define a project, refine the components, collaborate with the team on architecture, code, test and release. We create code that goes live daily. If you are the type of engineer that likes to see your work published give us a call.  We are interested in great quality work at a consistent pace.

Our Approach:

• We don't write tech specs - we don't expect you to either.
• We work across the full stack - from database to UI.
• We push new code daily, and hold ourselves to our own coding standards.
• We brainstorm new ideas, throw them at the wall, and analyze data to determine what sticks.
• We're reshaping online car shopping just like our TripAdvisor experience revolutionized travel
