About the role

  • CarGurus is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Cloud Enablement team.
  • 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.

Responsibilities

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Ensure teams can deliver reliably on modern, self-owned CI/CD infrastructure.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with adjacent teams (Cloud Infrastructure, SRE, DevX, and product engineering) to align on technical concerns at team boundaries.
  • Able to distill complex technical problems into clear design docs, written proposals, and stakeholder-facing summaries.
  • Our career development and corporate giving programs, as well as our employee resource groups (ERGs) and communities, help people build connections while making an impact in personally meaningful ways.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience with Sentinel and/or Semgrep for policy-as-code enforcement.
  • 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.
  • Deep experience with GitHub Actions runner infrastructure, composite actions, GHES/GHEC, and supply-chain security practices.
  • Familiarity with CircleCI or similar pipeline systems.
  • 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).
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language (Python, Go, or similar) for building automation, CLI tooling, and platform integrations.

Skills

  • Since then, our history of innovation and go-to-market acceleration has driven industry-leading growth.
  • That includes everything from the sale of an old car to the financing, purchase, and delivery of a new one.
  • Today, tens of millions of consumers visit CarGurus.com each month, and ~30,000 dealerships use our products.
  • But they're not the only ones who love CarGurus-our employees do, too.
  • Disrupting a trillion-dollar industry requires fresh and diverse perspectives.
