Overview
We were the first to shift FinOps left, and we see a big opportunity to make the $600B/year spent on cloud proactively managed, instead of enterprise teams reacting to surprise cost spikes. Reactive is too late, we already tried that approach with our first startup.

What we value
Ustomer, not customer: It is all about seeing us and the customer as one. We like to be a part of the user’s team, and help them however we can. If the user is not successful, then we will not be either so we try to walk in their shoes. It's more than work - we build relationships and community with users and customers.
Open is our core: Put yourself out there. Show your learning. Transparency builds confidence. Encourage sharing the good and the bad. The best decisions are made when everyone has access to all the data. Be straightforward and kind, feedback is about your work not your person.
Let's JEDI: Let’s Just Effing Do It! Own it and move fast. A good plan fiercely executed now is better than a perfect plan later. We ask for help and unblock each other. The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

About Infracost$600B is spent on cloud each year, but no one knows the cost until it's too late. We’re changing that.Since launching Infracost in 2021, we’ve been pulled by engineers who all want to Shift FinOps Left. We enable them to proactively find and fix cloud cost issues before they hit production. We plug directly into developer workflows (like GitHub and Azure Repos), show cost impact in pull requests, enforce tagging and FinOps best practices, and even generate PRs to fix issues automatically.
We're backed by Sequoia, YC and trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises. You'll join a small, experienced, and supportive team that's shipping fast, solving real infrastructure problems, and having fun while doing it.
Whether you're an engineer tackling complex systems (e.g. parsing massive Terraform repos, scaling real-time systems), a product manager shaping strategy from real customer pain points, or a customer success lead working directly with users; there’s meaningful work here for you. If you care about cloud efficiency, great UX, and helping teams move faster and smarter, we’d love to work with you!

What We Do
Shift FinOps Left.
For engineers, we help engineers know cloud costs before they buy resources via infrastructure as code. We also help them make cost optimization as they code vis our FinOps Policy Packs, and ensure that all resources that can be tagged, are tagged correctly. All in the code, the source of truth.
For managers, FinOps and team leads, as soon as Infracost is connected to your GitHub or GitLab environment, we scan it and report on all the resources that are using non-FinOps compliant resources (e.g. old instance types, old volumes, no data retention policies etc), and all resources which are failing your tagging policy. This creates a list of resources to fix within the code, including exactly which code line item has to be fixed. This enables engineers to act fact and fix issues.
Infracost is backed by YCombinator, Sequoia & SVAngel
