<p>The Developer Experience (DevX) Architecture team at CarGurus is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team focused on accelerating developer productivity and delivering architectural improvements for CarGurus Engineering.&nbsp; The results of your work will impact hundreds of engineers across dozens of product teams on a daily basis.</p>
<p>You and your team will take on complex, cross-cutting projects: defining new templates and processes, re-architecting core components, integrating new libraries and frameworks, improving backend performance, and building AI-powered developer tools that give CarGurus engineers a faster and better experience.&nbsp;To succeed in this role, you’ll partner closely with engineers and leaders across many teams, learn and adapt quickly, and translate ambiguous problems into clear, high-impact initiatives.

<li>Own a roadmap of technical investments: propose ideas, shape scope, provide estimates, measure, and sequence work to maximize impact on engineering effectiveness.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Partner across the organization with engineers, managers, and product to deeply understand their pain points and design pragmatic solutions that scale.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Drive predictable delivery by breaking down ambiguous problems into small, testable increments and releasing value iteratively.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Lead the full software development lifecycle for your team’s services and tools: design, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement, with a strong emphasis on clean, well-tested, and efficient code.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Identify high leverage/ROI opportunities for AI-assisted development (code assistants, test generation, internal agents), partner with security and compliance to define guardrails, and integrate these capabilities into our SDLC</li>
<li>Use technologies like Java, Spring Boot, AWS, Kubernetes, and AI-assisted development tools to improve our core architecture and platforms.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Advance and champion engineering best practices (reliability, observability, performance, and security) and help teams adopt them through patterns, templates, and guidance.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Strategically invest in critical platform areas, such as authentication and other shared services, to reduce risk and unlock faster delivery for product teams.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>What you’ll bring</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li>5+ years of hands-on software design and development experience building and operating production systems.&nbsp;</li>
<li>3+ years in an Engineering Manager or equivalent technical leadership role, leading teams that ship software in production.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Experience building and operating large-scale, performant web applications, and familiarity with modern technologies and patterns that enable them (distributed systems, microservices, cloud-native architectures, observability, etc.).&nbsp;</li>
<li>Hands-on experience with modern strongly typed backend languages (Java, C#, etc) and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, etc)</li>
<li>Hands-on experience with modern AI tools (e.g., code assistants, test generation, or internal agents) and a perspective on how to responsibly apply them to improve developer experience.</li>
<li>Strong project management and collaboration skills, including experience working across multiple teams and stakeholders in an iterative, agile environment.</li>
<li>A people-focused technical leader with high emotional intelligence, who can motivate, coach, and develop engineers at different levels.&nbsp;</li>
<li>A clear, adaptable communicator who can tailor your message for audiences ranging from junior engineers to senior business leaders and third-party vendors.&nbsp;</li>
<li>A curious, growth-oriented mindset—you enjoy learning new domains, experimenting with new tools, and continually expanding your capabilities.&nbsp;</li>
