Data Analytics Engineer Intern
About The Position
At CarGurus, we believe data is only as powerful as the decisions it enables. CarGurus is looking for a curious, highly driven Data Analytics Engineer Intern who is eager to learn how to clean, efficient data models to drive business outcomes. In this role, you will gain experience at the intersection of analytics, engineering, and business strategy. You will work alongside senior engineers and data analysts to deliver trusted insights that enable smarter decisions across the business. You will be encouraged to grow your engineering skills, contribute to shared data infrastructure, and develop an ownership mindset as we build the future of data at CarGurus. As a Data Analytics Engineer Intern, you will join an 11-week Summer Internship Program designed to give you hands-on experience, expand your professional network, and build core industry skills.
