About the Role:

Reporting to the FinOps Manager, Kyriba is seeking a Cloud FinOps Engineer to be the technical engine of our newly formed FinOps practice. You will work hand-in-hand with the FinOps Manager to turn cost insights into automated, scalable solutions across our AWS infrastructure.

This is not a reporting or analytics role. You will write the code, build the guardrails, and automate the remediation that makes cloud efficiency the default state for our engineering teams. If you are an SRE or DevOps engineer who has ever looked at an AWS bill and thought "I can fix that", this role was built for you.

• Design and Implement Governance: Design and implement automated cost governance using AWS-native tooling: AWS config, SSM Runbooks, AWS Budgets, Cost Anomaly Detection, Compute Optimizer, Trusted Advisor, and AWS Lambda.
• Serverless Automation: Build and maintain serverless automation (Lambda functions, EventBridge rules, Step Functions) to enforce cost policies at scale, including auto-stopping idle environments, cleaning up orphaned resources, and triggering remediation workflows.
• Tagging Strategy & IaC: Own and enforce the cloud tagging strategy through Infrastructure as Code (Terraform); develop and maintain reusable modules that embed tagging standards, resource naming conventions, and cost guardrails into every deployment.
• Pipeline Cost Checks: Implement pre-deployment cost checks in CI/CD pipelines to catch costly misconfigurations before they reach production (e.g., oversized instance types, missing tags, unencrypted storage).
• Cross-Team Optimization: Collaborate with DevOps and SRE teams to rightsize compute (EC2, ECS, EKS), optimize storage lifecycle policies (S3, EBS), and redesign data transfer patterns to reduce egress costs.
• Data Pipeline Support: Support the FinOps Manager in delivering monthly cost reporting by building and maintaining automated data pipelines from AWS CUR (Cost and Usage Report) into dashboards and alerting systems.

Minimum qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer, SRE, or Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with a strong AWS background.
• Hands-on proficiency with Infrastructure as Code, specifically Terraform; you are comfortable writing modules, managing state, and submitting PRs to production infrastructure repos.
• Practical experience writing AWS Lambda functions and event-driven automation using Python, Go, or Node.js; you know how to trigger, schedule, and monitor serverless workflows.
• Strong understanding of the AWS cost model: you know the difference between instance families, storage tiers, data transfer pricing, and when to use Spot vs. On-Demand vs. Reserved capacity.
• Experience operating in multi-account AWS environments (AWS Organizations, cross-account IAM roles, CloudFormation stack set deployments org wide).

Preferred qualifications

• Familiarity with FinOps tooling (e.g., Cudo, CloudHealth, Kubecost, Vantage) and experience integrating these with AWS-native services.
• Experience with Kubernetes (EKS) cost allocation, including pod resource requests and limits, Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler, and namespace-level cost visibility.
• Working knowledge of AWS Cost Anomaly Detection, AWS Budgets Actions, and Compute Optimizer recommendation APIs.
• Exposure to observability and monitoring tools (Datadog, CloudWatch, Prometheus) to validate that cost optimizations do not degrade performance.
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect (Associate) or FinOps Certified Practitioner (or willingness to achieve within 6 months).

We champion flexibility and hybrid work options to support varying lifestyles and personal needs. At the same time, we value the power of in-person collaboration to build community, spark innovation, and strengthen connections. Our approach ensures you can work in ways that suit you best while still engaging with colleagues to share ideas and grow together. #LI-Hybrid #LI-DNP
