Role overview
As the Technical Product Manager (TPM) for the Pipelines & Automation (PnA) team within Engineering Platform, you will own the CI/CD pipeline platform, software quality tooling, and test automation frameworks that enable all of CarGurus engineering to deliver code faster and with higher confidence.
You will create vision, drive requirements and the roadmap, and support the team by propelling critical initiatives that will fuel our ability to innovate, move quickly, and stay ahead of the competition while embracing and utilizing AI capabilities. That includes our CI modernization (continuing the onboarding of a SaaS CI platform), continued expansion of our Continuous Deployment (CD) pipeline, contract testing, quality gates and frameworks, and the integration of AI-augmented testing and pipeline capabilities.
You will be part of a team of technical product managers who collaborate closely with internal stakeholders to deliver products and systems that directly impact the success of the entire engineering organization.

Build a strong partnership with the Engineering Platform team — and specifically the Pipelines & Automation squad — to support their service-oriented position within the organization.
Gain a deep understanding of our CI/CD platform, quality frameworks, pipeline capabilities, and the unique challenges we face as a rapidly growing company.
Co-own the team's vision and roadmap; generate buy-in and facilitate cross-functional collaboration with a wide range of technical stakeholders across Product Engineering, Data Engineering, Data Science, and other platform teams.
Complete the CI modernization initiative — design for remaining teams, migration planning, and rollout to engineering teams.
Champion continued adoption and maturation of our CD pipeline (TTMA), including progressive delivery patterns such as canary analysis and automated rollbacks.
Own the product direction for quality gates, test automation frameworks, contract testing, and quality metrics collection that are embedded within the pipeline.
Ensure that prioritization of work aligns with high-level strategies and business objectives.
Identify opportunities to leverage AI and agentic workflows to improve pipeline reliability, test generation, and developer feedback loops.
Maintain high levels of engagement with stakeholders through various forms of written and verbal communication, including roadmaps, project plans, status reports, and executive presentations.
Advocate for adoption of frameworks, tooling, and pipeline capabilities being built out by the centralized platform team.
What you'll bring
5+ years of product management experience, including working with engineering teams. Prior engineering background is a plus.
Familiarity with CI/CD platforms and tooling — experience driving requirements and management of systems such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, Concourse, Jenkins, or similar. Understanding of pipeline-as-code, declarative pipeline configuration, and progressive delivery patterns (canary, blue-green).
An understanding of software quality automation best practices, industry standards, and tooling — including quality gates, test automation frameworks, and contract testing.
Experience gathering requirements from internal engineering customers while filtering into strategic direction.
Strong judgment to prioritize various incoming and generated requirements based on value-add to the organization.
A passion for improving the developer experience through reliable, fast, and transparent build and delivery processes.
An enthusiasm for utilizing AI tools to accelerate your work as well as how AI can enable and accelerate engineering.
Strong team player with high emotional intelligence and the ability to bring people together across varying personality types and work styles.
Tenacious self-starter with the ability to work independently, particularly in a highly cross-functional or matrixed environment.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
The ability to research and propose new tooling to be introduced that will help improve software quality and pipeline reliability.
The capability to influence quality and delivery transformations by working closely with critical stakeholders.
