Role Overview:
The FinOps Engineer is a highly technical, operational role embedded within our local Engineering and DevOps teams. Your mission is to bridge the gap between code and infrastructure and cost, ensuring our cloud architecture is as efficient as it is scalable.
You will enable an efficient local cloud cost footprint, acting as the primary liaison between Finance and Leadership and Engineering to drive workload optimization, architectural efficiency and strict budget adherence. You don’t just report on the bill, you engineer it!
Key Responsibilities:
Active Rightsizing: Hands-on collaboration with Engineering to analyze cloud resources utilization and move beyond reports by implementing rightsizing, auto-scaling policies, and instance migrations.
Architectural Review: Act as a "Cost Architect" during design phases to ensure new services are built for cost-efficiency (e.g., Serverless vs. Containers, Storage tiering, Spot Instances).
Waste Elimination: Lead to identify and decommission orphaned cloud resources
FinOps Central team policies, standards and governance guidelines adherence and active contribution
Tagging & Labeling Policy-as-Code: Implement and enforce automated tagging schemas to ensure 100% cost allocation across local microservices.
Efficiency Metrics: Shift the culture from "Total Spend" to Cloud Unit Economics, specifically tracking and optimizing the $/kMAU (Cost per 1,000 Monthly Active Users).
Real-time Observability: Build and maintain technical dashboards that provide engineers with real-time visibility into the cost impact of their code
Budget Guardrails: Monitor daily spend to ensure the local team stays within the strictly defined variance thresholds.
Anomaly Detection: Act as the first responder for technical cost spikes, performing root-cause analysis (RCA) and implementing immediate technical remediation.
Technical Background: 3+ years of experience in Cloud Engineering, DevOps, or SRE roles.
Cloud Proficiency: Deep hands-on experience with AWS
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Proficiency in IaC (Terraform and CloudFormation) to automate cost guardrails and environment scheduling, promoting FinOps as Code
Data Analysis: Strong SQL skills for granular billing analysis and experience building visualization dashboards.
The "FinOps Pivot": A passion for high-performance engineering that values efficiency as a core feature. FinOps Certified Practitioner (FOCP) status is a significant advantage.
Communication: Ability to translate complex cloud billing data into actionable technical tickets for engineering teams and actionable insights to tech leadership.
