Pioneering
From the beginning, we set out to radically change how people buy and sell cars. We tackle difficult problems head-on. We are curious. We are risk-takers. We embrace change even if it’s uncomfortable.
Transparent
We believe transparency is the foundation of trust and enables better decision-making. We communicate clearly and honestly. We deliver unbiased guidance. Our products, services, and company culture are built on these principles.
Data-Driven
We rely on data, not hunches, to make decisions. We listen to our instincts but we validate through rapid testing, learning and optimizing. We translate complex data into actionable insights for our users, our customers, and our people.
Moving Quickly
We believe there’s power in speed. We iterate quickly and often, continuously improving as we go. We are not afraid to break things. If we fail, we do it fast, learn from it and move on.
Collaborative
We celebrate our individual strengths and perspectives but know that our success requires teamwork. We partner, we listen and we leverage feedback from each other, our users, and our customers.

CarGurus is an environment where you’re able to work on heavily scaled systems with high complexity and have a tangible opportunity to transform the traditional buying and selling model through technology. The engineering team here has built some amazing systems and products, and we’re continuing to think and build in new ways. I’m excited to elevate this while bringing new people and fresh perspectives to the table.

"As an engineer, one of the things that I love most about working at CarGurus is the opportunity to innovate while solving complex problems. I feel empowered with the trust my manager and team show in me. I have the creative freedom to pursue projects that might be outside of our traditional scope. At CarGurus, we believe in experimenting and learning from our failures. The receptivity to new ideas makes me feel inspired and valued, something I haven’t experienced at other tech giants I’ve worked with."
