Matt Quinn

Chief Technology Officer CarGurus

Last Reviewed: September 18, 2026

Executive Summary

Matt Quinn is Chief Technology Officer at CarGurus, the Nasdaq-listed online automotive marketplace, a role he was appointed to in December 2021 and continues to hold. He leads the company’s engineering organization and technology strategy for one of the largest marketplaces for buying and selling vehicles, a business whose technical problem is less about transaction volume than about data quality at scale — pricing millions of individual, non-identical used cars accurately enough that buyers trust the valuation. He arrived with a background in consumer-scale engineering leadership built at Amazon, Audible, Vistaprint, and the small business referral network Alignable.

Career Highlights

• Appointed Chief Technology Officer of CarGurus in December 2021 and still serving in the role as of July 2026.
• Leads engineering culture and technology strategy for a Nasdaq-listed company (CARG).
• Former Vice President of Engineering at Alignable.
• Led large development teams at Vistaprint, Amazon, and Audible.

Professional Journey

Quinn built his career in consumer-facing engineering at companies where the technical challenge is scale combined with catalogue complexity. At Amazon and Audible he led large development teams, and at Vistaprint he worked on a business that mass-produces individually customized physical products — a category of problem where the software has to accommodate near-infinite variation in what is being sold. He then served as Vice President of Engineering at Alignable, the referral network for small businesses, a smaller organization where engineering leadership is closer to the product.

CarGurus announced his appointment as Chief Technology Officer in December 2021, and he took over engineering and technology strategy for a marketplace that had by then become one of the largest venues for used vehicle transactions in the United States. The core technical proposition of the business is analytical rather than transactional: CarGurus built its reputation on rating individual listings against its own valuation of what a given car is actually worth, which requires ingesting and normalizing inventory data from an enormous number of dealers, in inconsistent formats, and pricing assets that are all slightly different from one another. The credibility of the consumer-facing product rests entirely on getting that right.

He has led the engineering organization through the period in which the company has continued to operate at public-company scale, and SEC filings identify him as serving in the role into mid-2026.
