About the Role

We are hiring a FinOps Engineer to bridge our central FinOps team with business units, engineering, and finance. You will own end-to-end cloud cost optimization across AWS, Azure, and GCP — from daily monitoring and anomaly detection to commitment management, dashboards, and stakeholder partnership.

Responsibilities

• Monitor multi-cloud spend daily; detect anomalies and lead root-cause analysis.
• Drive optimization initiatives — rightsizing, RI/Savings Plans, MAP, and architectural improvements.
• Manage Azure RI and RI/SP purchases end-to-end across clouds.
• Provide commercial advisory for reseller agreements and procurement decisions.
• Build and maintain FinOps dashboards, KPIs, and custom automations.
• Own budget management, cost allocation, and forecasting for assigned business units.
• Lead FinOps reviews with engineering, product, and finance stakeholders.
• Advise on new project designs to embed cost-efficiency from day one.
• Deliver FinOps education sessions to elevate cloud cost-awareness across the org.

Requirements

• 4 years in FinOps, Cloud Cost Management, or a related role.
• Hands-on experience with at least two major clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP) — pricing, billing, and commitment models.
• Proven experience managing RI / Savings Plans end-to-end.
• Strong analytical skills — Excel, SQL, and large-dataset analysis.
• Experience with FinOps tools (Cost Explorer, Umbrella, Azure Cost Management or similar).
• Solid financial acumen — budgets, forecasts, variance analysis, allocation.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills.

Advantages:

• FinOps Foundation certification (FOCP / FOCE).
• Cloud certifications (AWS / Azure / GCP).
• Scripting skills (Python, PowerShell, Bash) for automation.
• Experience with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker, QuickSight).
• Experience with AWS MAP or other cloud migration programs.
