What are the responsibilities and job description for the Engineering Co-op, Platform as a Service position at CarGurus?
Car shopping is complicated. At CarGurus, we use data and technology to make it simple, giving people the tools they need to confidently find, buy, finance, or sell a car. The best part? Our work makes a real impact. We're the most-visited car-shopping site in the US and we are growing fast in our international markets. Ready to come along for the ride?
The Platform as a Service Team is looking for an Engineering Co-op! This team enables engineering teams to easily write, build, test, promote, and deploy their artifacts, all while maintaining (and respecting!) CarGurus' Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Our goal is to make it seamless for anybody to take a new idea, commit it, advocate for it and confidently promote it to production within hours!
This is a full-time, paid, Fall 2022 Co-op position. Only students currently enrolled in a full-time undergraduate or graduate program will be considered. Must be eligible to work 40 hours a week from July 2022 - December 2022.
What You'll Do:
- Design and improve upon CarGurus' continuous deployment infrastructure for hundreds of services and artifacts
- Contribute to the long-term strategy and vision of quickly deploying production and pre-production changes and decoupling deployments from releases
- Work with our 200 engineering workforce on iterative-yet-fundamental workflow changes on releases and deployments
Who You Are:
- A highly motivated individual that is willing to learn, has good collaboration skills and is a good communicator
- You have a special passion for software engineering, are willing to innovate and move quickly
CarGurus Culture:
We work hard every day to build the world's most trusted and transparent automotive marketplace, but trust and transparency don't just apply to our consumers. They extend to our talent, too. We aim to create a workplace where everyone feels they can bring the ultimate expression of themselves and their potential—where you don't just fit, you thrive. We don't discriminate based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
Currently, CarGurus employees in the US can choose to work from home / remotely or participate in a phased return to our beautiful office spaces on a voluntary basis. We expect most roles to be in-office at least 60% of the time later this year (specific date TBD). In addition to the US, CarGurus operates sites in Canada and the UK. We have offices in Cambridge, MA; Detroit, MI; Dublin, Ireland; San Francisco, CA and London, UK. Check out our careers page to learn more.
We recognize that flexibility plays a critical role in enabling our people to thrive in both their personal and professional lives. We currently welcome Gurus into our Cambridge, MA office on a voluntary basis but do not require employees to physically be in the office. We will adopt a hybrid working model when health experts and government officials in our local communities deem it safe to do so. Specific arrangements within this model will be up to team leaders' discretion; we encourage you to discuss your questions and needs during the interview process.
All US CarGurus employees are required to provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19, unless they have an approved medical or religious accommodation. This helps us to safeguard the health of our employees and their families, our customers and visitors, and the community at large.
