Manager, Data Platform Engineering at CarGurus

This role is designed for an experienced engineering leader with a strong foundation in modern data stacks (Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift) and at least 2 years of people management experience. It’s an ideal fit for someone who has transitioned from a hands-on data engineering or analytics background into a leadership role and enjoys the "operations" side of data—ensuring scalability, reliability, and setting the roadmap for ingestion and observability. The compensation is highly competitive ($160k - $201k base) and includes equity and discretionary bonuses. You’ll benefit from a "people-first" hybrid culture in Boston that offers unique perks like daily free lunch, a new car discount, and commuting cost coverage. This is a high-impact position where you aren't just managing tasks, but setting the enterprise-wide data strategy for a profitable, growing marketplace. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have 5+ years of experience in data/analytics engineering and are an expert in SQL and dimensional modeling. * Are comfortable writing code (Python, Java, or Go) and implementing agile software practices. * Enjoy collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders in Finance, Product, and Marketing to turn requirements into platform capabilities. * Are proactive about AI and want to explore how it can optimize data workflows.
