Position: Cloud FinOps Engineer (Manager, Cloud FinOps Engineer)
Key Responsibilities
- Perform day-to-day cloud cost/usage analysis across AWS, Azure, and GCP (tagging enforcement, anomaly detection, optimization follow-up).
- Operate/enhance cost observability (dashboards, scorecards, unit-economics, usage trends).
- Investigate cost spikes/anomalies by correlating architecture, utilization, and events.
- Identify gaps in cost governance and implement technical improvements.
- Serve as technical point of contact for cloud consumers/application teams; provide engineering guidance.
- Facilitate optimization reviews; promote engineering-led FinOps best practices across provisioning/deployment/runtime.
- Partner with Finance with reliable cost data/tooling/automation (ownership within IT).
- Analyze usage to find waste and optimization opportunities (rightsizing, storage tiering/lifecycle, Kubernetes/container drivers, data transfer/networking).
- Lead small-to-medium optimization initiatives; support commitment strategies (Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, CUDs).
- Build FinOps automation using Python; develop AWS solutions (Lambda, RDS/DynamoDB/Redshift, Step Functions).
- Use CloudFormation; integrate cost controls/tagging/reporting into CI/CD.
- Automate anomaly reporting, scheduled spend analysis, and ingestion from billing systems; (optional) Auto Remediation Frameworks.
- Apply IAM (RBAC), enforce auditable cost attribution/ownership, support compliance evidence/traceability.
- Collaborate cross-functionally; communicate technical/cost concepts clearly.
Qualifications (Required)
- Bachelor’s in CS/Engineering/IS/Data Analytics or related field.
- 4–5+ years in cloud engineering/platform/SRE/FinOps/cloud operations.
- Strong cloud cost-driver knowledge (compute, storage, databases, networking).
- Hands-on Python; AWS services (Lambda, databases, Step Functions).
- CloudFormation; CI/CD concepts.
- Advanced Excel, SQL, cost modeling/analysis; visualization tools (Power BI/Tableau/QuickSight).
- GitHub/version control.
- Tagging/cost allocation + showback/chargeback understanding.
- Ability to scope/deliver moderately complex solutions; strong communication/collaboration.
Preferred
- FinOps Certified Practitioner/Analyst.
- Cloud billing/cost tools (AWS Cost Explorer/CUR/Billing Conductor/Budgets; Azure Cost Management; GCP billing exports; Apptio Cloudability/Flexera/Finout).
- Python + React for tools/dashboards; commitment strategy knowledge.
- Observability tools (CloudWatch/Datadog/Prometheus/Grafana); enterprise/regulated environments.
- Auto Remediation Framework familiarity.
Benefits (Explicit)
- Health coverage (medical/pharmacy/dental/vision); wellbeing programs; financial protection (401(k), disability, life/accident, supplemental insurance, travel protection, legal support, survivor support).
- Paid time off: flexible/unlimited for US exempt; 160 hours annual vacation for certain roles; 11 national holidays; additional eligibility for sick time, volunteer days, leaves of absence, and Global Shutdown (details vary by eligibility).
