Salary: $125,000 – $157,000/yr
Type: Full-time
This role is ideal for a mid-to-senior level Data Engineer who enjoys the intersection of platform architecture and organizational policy. While the title says "Senior," the requirement of 3+ years of experience makes this an accessible step for a high-performing engineer with a strong background in the modern data stack (Snowflake, dbt) and a specific interest in the "Data Ops" side of the house—automated quality, lineage, and governance.
The compensation package is competitive, featuring a base salary up to $157k plus RSUs and discretionary bonuses. CarGurus offers a high-end "perks" environment in their Boston office, including a hybrid schedule, daily free lunch, and commuting coverage. It’s a stable, profitable environment (15+ years) where you can build long-term automated systems rather than just putting out fires.
**You might be a good fit if you:**
* Have hands-on experience building automated data quality workflows (e.g., using Monte Carlo or Metaplane).
* Are proficient in Python and comfortable building custom APIs to automate metadata and lineage capture.
* Expertly navigate Snowflake and dbt environments.
* Enjoy collaborating with legal and business teams to translate compliance (GDPR/CCPA) into technical guardrails.
