Role overview CarGurus is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the Purchase team within our Consumer Engineering department. The Purchase team owns the consumer journey from the moment a shopper decides on a car to the moment the deal is done. That means delivering an experience that meets consumers where they are—whether they want agents to handle the heavy lifting on their behalf, or prefer to be guided through each step of financing, trade-in, and deal configuration themselves. This is a pivotal leadership role at an exciting moment: we are actively transitioning our engineering practices toward AI-native and fully agentic development, and this manager will be a key driver of that transformation. You'll lead a team of talented engineers, shape the technical vision for one of our most strategically important product areas, and champion AI-forward ways of working—from integrating AI coding assistants into daily workflows to architecting intelligent, consumer-facing experiences. If you're energized by the intersection of modern AI development and high-impact consumer products, this is the role for you.   What you'll do Lead, mentor, and grow a team of engineers, supporting their technical development and career growth while fostering a collaborative, high-performance team culture Partner closely with Product, UX, and Analytics to drive the Purchase roadmap from concept through technical design, implementation, testing, and measurement; actively contribute to roadmap prioritization by proposing technical investments and providing well-reasoned estimates Champion AI-forward engineering practices across the team—actively promoting the use of AI coding assistants, agentic workflows, and AI-driven tooling as core parts of the development process Lead the team's transition to fully agentic programming paradigms, setting expectations, removing blockers, and modeling the mindset shift required Define and drive delivery of consumer-facing AI experiences, collaborating with product and design to bring intelligent, personalized features to millions of car shoppers Manage project scope, estimation, and prioritization; decompose complex initiatives into small, self-contained units of work and drive their incremental delivery with a bias toward shipping and learning quickly Collaborate effectively across team boundaries—working with consumer, dealer, and platform engineering teams to align on dependencies, define integration requirements, and ensure the Purchase platform evolves reliably alongside the broader CarGurus ecosystem Roll up your sleeves and pitch in wherever you'll have the greatest impact—whether that's diving into a technical design session, helping scope an A/B test, unblocking a critical dependency, or jumping into any other area where your involvement moves the team forwa
