Disrupting a trillion-dollar industry requires fresh and diverse perspectives. Come join us for the ride! 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. What you'll do • 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
