Role overview
CarGurus is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Cloud Enablement team. This team builds and operates the cloud platform capabilities, automation, and guardrails that help engineering teams provision infrastructure, deploy services, and work securely in the cloud with less friction.
In this role, you will contribute to the design, implementation, and operation of scalable platform services that improve developer experience, strengthen reliability, and support self-service infrastructure across the company. We are looking for an engineer who is hands-on, execution-oriented, and motivated by building practical solutions that other engineers rely on every day.
Our primary domains include:
- 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.
- CI/CD Platform: GitHub Actions maturity (GHES, GitHub Connect, org-scoped runners), Concourse infrastructure, and pipeline supply-chain security.
- AWS Self-Service: No-code and IaC-driven provisioning for S3, Lambda, ElastiCache, and expanding the self-service catalog to new resource types.
- AI Infrastructure Governance: Governed Amazon Bedrock access, per-team token quotas and cost dashboards, Bedrock Savings Plan management, and developer AI tooling (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) governance.
- Platform Integrity: Sentinel/Semgrep policy maturity, shift-left guardrails, pipeline hardening, and cloud maturity model advancement.
- 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.
- IaC Platform & Policy Engineering: Manage HCP Terraform workspaces, the Terraform module registry, and Sentinel/Semgrep policy implementations. Calibrate hard vs. advisory guardrails, eliminate false positives, and expand coverage as new resource types onboard to self-service.
- Secrets & Security Integration: Accelerate Vault adoption across CarGurus workloads — handling dynamic secrets, PKI/CA, transit encryption, and AWS dynamic IAM credentials. Execute the tactical roadmaps toward zero standing long-lived credentials in 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. Assist in extending governance to developer AI tooling (Claude Code, Copilot) as adoption scales.
- 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.
- CI/CD & Pipeline Integrity: Execute GitHub Actions maturity initiatives including GitHub Connect adoption, org-scoped runner observability, bundled action governance, CircleCI adoption and migration, and pipeline supply-chain hardening. Ensure teams can deliver reliably on modern, self-owned CI/CD infrastructure.
- Mentorship & Code Quality: Actively grow teammates' capabilities through thorough code and IaC reviews, pairing on complex problems, and sharing context and patterns that help the immediate team move more independently. Contribute to team coding standards and documentation.
- Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with adjacent teams (Cloud Infrastructure, SRE, DevX, and product engineering) to align on technical concerns at team boundaries. Represent Cloud Enablement's perspective clearly in shared discussions and help resolve integration ambiguity.
- Incident Management & Reliability: Participate in the team's on-call rotation and incident response. Apply incident learnings to improve platform reliability and reduce toil for the team and its customers.
- AI-Assisted Engineering: Actively incorporate AI tooling (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Amazon Q) into your engineering workflow — from generating and reviewing IaC to accelerating architecture exploration and incident triage.
What you'll bring
- 4+ years of professional experience in a hands-on DevOps, platform engineering, or cloud infrastructure role, performing the core responsibilities of this position.
- Cloud Infrastructure Depth: Significant experience operating production workloads in AWS including IAM, S3, Lambda, EKS, ElastiCache, EC2, and related services. Comfortable reasoning about security, cost, and reliability trade-offs at platform scale.
- Infrastructure as Code & Policy Engineering: High proficiency with Terraform, including HCP Terraform, remote state, module design, and workspace governance. Hands-on experience with Sentinel and/or Semgrep for policy-as-code enforcement.
- Secrets Management: 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.
- CI/CD & Platform Engineering: Deep experience with GitHub Actions runner infrastructure, composite actions, GHES/GHEC, and supply-chain security practices. Familiarity with CircleCI or similar pipeline systems.
- FinOps & AI Awareness: 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).
- Programming & Automation: Proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language (Python, Go, or similar) for building automation, CLI tooling, and platform integrations.
- Systems Thinking & Communication: Able to distill complex technical problems into clear design docs, written proposals, and stakeholder-facing summaries. Comfortable working across teams to align on shared technical boundaries.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding CarGurus Visa Sponsorship Jobs USA
Focus on engineering and data roles
CarGurus' sponsorship activity is concentrated in technical disciplines. Software engineers, data scientists, and product-focused roles in its Technology and Software division are the most likely to come with visa sponsorship support.
Understand the visa types CarGurus supports
CarGurus sponsors H-1B, TN, and F-1 OPT and CPT, plus Green Card petitions. If you're on OPT or CPT, your status is a natural entry point before a company-sponsored H-1B or permanent residency pathway.
Highlight a degree in a specialty occupation field
CarGurus' H-1B filings require roles that qualify as specialty occupations. A degree directly relevant to the job you're applying for, such as computer science or engineering, strengthens your petition before it starts.
Target CarGurus for long-term sponsorship, not just a visa stamp
CarGurus' Green Card activity signals a company that invests in keeping sponsored employees long term. If you're looking for an employer who'll support permanent residency, this is a meaningful differentiator worth factoring into your job search.
Apply through channels that verify sponsorship history
Not every job listing makes sponsorship eligibility clear. Migrate Mate surfaces verified sponsors so you can filter by real sponsorship history, helping you identify CarGurus openings confirmed to support visa candidates.
Time your application around CarGurus' hiring cycles
For H-1B sponsorship, the USCIS cap filing window opens in April. Targeting CarGurus in Q1 gives your employer enough lead time to prepare your petition before the lottery registration deadline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does CarGurus sponsor H-1B visas?
Yes, CarGurus sponsors H-1B visas for qualifying roles, primarily in its Technology and Software division. The company has an established track record with H-1B petitions, though sponsorship is most common for technical positions such as software engineering and data science. Candidates should confirm sponsorship eligibility directly during the interview process, as not every open role is eligible.
What visa types does CarGurus sponsor?
CarGurus sponsors H-1B, TN visa, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, and both EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card categories. The company's sponsorship portfolio skews heavily toward permanent residency pathways, which suggests a long-term commitment to retaining foreign national employees rather than short-term visa support only.
Which departments at CarGurus are most likely to sponsor visas?
Technical roles in software engineering, data science, and product development are the most common sponsorship candidates at CarGurus. The company operates as a technology-driven marketplace, so its core engineering and data teams drive the majority of its immigration activity. Business and operations roles are less frequently sponsored.
How do I find CarGurus job openings that offer visa sponsorship?
The most reliable approach is to search Migrate Mate, which aggregates roles from verified sponsors and lets you filter specifically for companies with confirmed sponsorship histories like CarGurus. From there, check the role's requirements, apply early, and flag your visa status in your application to avoid late-stage surprises in the hiring process.
How do I approach the CarGurus application process as a visa-sponsored candidate?
Be transparent about your visa status early, ideally in your initial application or first recruiter screen. CarGurus has experience with sponsored hires, so recruiters are familiar with the process. If you're on OPT or CPT, emphasize your timeline clearly. For H-1B candidates, note that sponsorship requires filing well before the April cap season, so starting conversations in Q1 is advisable.
