Who we are
At CarGurus (NASDAQ: CARG), our mission is to give people the power to reach their destination. We started as a small team of developers determined to bring trust and transparency to car shopping. Since then, our history of innovation and go-to-market acceleration has driven industry-leading growth. In fact, we’re the largest and fastest-growing automotive marketplace, and we’ve been profitable for over 15 years.
What we do
The market is evolving, and we are too, moving the entire automotive journey online and guiding our customers through every step. That includes everything from the sale of an old car to the financing, purchase, and delivery of a new one. Today, tens of millions of consumers visit CarGurus.com each month, and ~30,000 dealerships use our products. But they're not the only ones who love CarGurus—our employees do, too. We have a people-first culture that fosters kindness, collaboration, and innovation, and empowers our Gurus with tools to fuel their career growth. Disrupting a trillion-dollar industry requires fresh and diverse perspectives. Come join us for the ride!
Role overview
CarGurus is looking for a Senior UX Designer to craft intuitive, visually compelling, and high-performing experiences across our product ecosystem. You’ll join a collaborative team of designers, researchers, and writers working closely with product and engineering to solve meaningful customer and business problems.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, works independently, and takes full ownership of their design process-from framing the problem to delivering polished, well-rationalized solutions. While you'll typically work under the guidance of a Lead Designer who sets direction and provides mentorship, you're expected to operate as a trusted partner in your area, collaborating deeply across disciplines and pushing work forward with confidence and clarity.
We deploy designers flexibly across product lines based on their strengths, interests, and the organization's needs. You may be embedded in a specific area or rotate between projects depending on impact and opportunity.
This is also a pivotal time at CarGurus as we explore how AI and emerging technologies will reshape both our tools and our user experiences. We’re looking for someone who’s not only aware of these trends but excited to help define how they’re applied—someone eager to experiment with AI-assisted workflows, smart content tools, and new patterns of interaction.
An online portfolio or access to work samples is required to apply.
