About the role

The Opportunity

Black Book is looking for a Mid-to-Senior DevOps Engineer with a minimum of 3 years’ experience in DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure Operations to help build, automate and operate the CI/CD and cloud platforms that support our automotive data and technology products.

As part of the Hearst Transportation group, Black Book combines automotive expertise, data science, predictive analytics, APIs and modern cloud technology to help dealerships, lenders, OEMs, insurers, fleet operators and other automotive businesses make better decisions.

You’ll work closely with software engineers, data engineers, data scientists and analysts to improve how applications and infrastructure are built, deployed, monitored and supported.

Hybrid: This hybrid role is based in our Lawrenceville, Georgia office.

What You’ll Do

- Build and operate highly available AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure.

- Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code and automation.

- Improve CI/CD and GitOps workflows.

- Automate operational tasks with Python, PowerShell, Bash or similar tools.

- Troubleshoot production issues across applications, containers, networking and cloud infrastructure.

- Improve observability, reliability, security, performance and cost efficiency.

- Partner with development and data teams to promote DevOps and shift-left practices.

- Participate in incident response and help eliminate root causes.

- Document solutions, share knowledge and mentor teammates.

- Support customer-impacting issues when needed.

What You’ll Bring

This is not a ticket-driven infrastructure role. We’re looking for an engineer who enjoys automation, troubleshooting complex problems, improving platforms and taking ownership from idea through production.

Our environment includes:

AWS • Kubernetes/EKS • Pulumi • Argo CD • Azure DevOps • Python • PowerShell • Bash • Linux • Windows • Grafana • AI Engineering Tools

You don’t need experience with every tool. Strong engineering fundamentals, curiosity and the ability to learn matter more than matching our stack exactly.

Required Qualifications

- Strong AWS knowledge or experience with another major cloud provider.

- Experience with Infrastructure as Code such as Pulumi, Terraform, CloudFormation or Ansible.
