What is the Solutions Consulting & Engineering (SC&E) Team and why join?

Solutions Consulting & Engineering is an organization that is Customer Focused and Solutions Led. We deliver end-to-end and emerging solutions to drive customer satisfaction, increase profitability and growth. Our success is enabled by our world-class management consulting, delivery excellence and engineering brilliance. Our goal is to bring together business acumen with full-stack technical know-how to develop innovative solutions for our clients' most complex challenges.

As a Cloud Solution Architect - FinOps, you are an individual contributor and recognized FinOps and cloud cost expert who delivers cloud financial management outcomes for enterprise clients and supports how WWT builds and sells them.

This is both a strategic and a hands-on delivery role. You deliver FinOps engagements directly, own delivery outcomes on live client work, and assist building the frameworks, tooling patterns, and delivery playbooks that let WWT scale a growing FinOps and FinOps for AI pipeline. You are equally comfortable running a cost optimization workshop with a client executive and getting into the console to fix the architecture driving the spend.

You understand that FinOps outcomes are only as strong as the technical foundation beneath them. You bring real world experience architecting and operating workloads on at least one major cloud platform, and you know how to translate cost findings into architectural remediation, not just a report. You have guided clients through the organizational and technical work of building a durable cost governance capability, and you are now extending that discipline into how enterprises manage the economics of AI infrastructure.

• Have a growing awareness of emerging FinOps for AI practices, including cost governance for GPU consumption, model inference spend, and AI infrastructure economics, to support engagements as they arise

Solution Development

• Partner with Solution Owner to define and continuously improve WWT's FinOps delivery process, including reference architectures, delivery playbooks, assessment frameworks, and reusable delivery assets
• Partner with Solution Owner to develop and maintain SOW templates, LOE models, and scope frameworks that enable delivery teams to structure and price FinOps engagements consistently
