Summary

Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced and technically proficient Senior FinOps Engineer to drive significant cloud cost savings and financial accountability across the customer's organization. This role requires a unique blend of deep development/engineering skills, solution architecture expertise, and FinOps best practices to design, implement, and govern cost-efficient cloud solutions. The successful candidate will embed a culture of cost optimization within engineering teams and architect forward-looking, financially responsible cloud strategies. As a member of a multi-cloud configuration team, the selected individual will be required to be part of an agile scrum team and be knowledgeable in numerous development tools and technologies. We are glad to consider engineers that have the attitude to solve complex problems without static solutions.

What will you do?

Establish, evangelize, and govern FinOps policies and best practices across multi-cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform).
Proactively analyze resource usage to eliminate inefficiencies, such as rightsizing instances, terminating unused resources, and tuning architectures for lower costs.
Tracking cloud spends, generating reports, and setting up alerts to identify and remediate billing anomalies.
Creating dashboards to report on cost KPIs to stakeholders.
Developing and enforcing cloud budgets and forecasts.
Purchasing reserved instances or savings plans and evaluating new tools or technology to reduce costs.

Do you have what it takes?

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Finance, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
5+ years in cloud engineering, with a focus on cost optimization.
Deep expertise in AWS (Cost Explorer, Budgets), Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
Understanding of cloud financial management, cost allocation, and tagging strategies.
Experience with rightsizing, spot instances, reserved instances, and auto-scaling.
Ability to analyze large datasets to identify savings opportunities.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to translate complex technical/financial concepts for both executive and engineering audiences.
Demonstrated ability to influence without direct authority and drive cultural change regarding cost accountability.
Strong analytical skills with a focus on problem-solving and proactive opportunity identification.

Bonus points if you have:

Experience supporting the Open-Source Network.
FinOps Certified Practitioner (FOCP) certification.

AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate/Professional.
