Job summary

Sportradar is seeking a Senior FinOps Engineer to strengthen our cloud financial operations. You will own cost visibility, governance, and optimisation across a multi-million-euro cloud estate, translating usage and billing data into actionable insight.

You will collaborate with engineering and finance, implement tagging, RI/Savings Plans strategies, and build dashboards. The role suits analytically minded professionals with AWS experience and strong communication skills.

Qualifications

• Several years of experience in a FinOps, Cloud Financial Management, or closely related cloud/technology finance role.
• Solid understanding of public cloud architecture (preferably AWS) and how design decisions drive cost.
• Hands-on experience with cloud cost management, including tagging governance, allocation, and commitment/discount instruments (Reserved Instances, Savings Plans).
• Strong analytical skills — able to interpret complex usage and billing data, spot patterns and anomalies, and recommend clear actions.
• Experience with FinOps or BI tooling; scripting (e.g. Python) for reporting and automation is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Own cloud cost visibility end to end - maintaining and improving tagging, allocation, and showbacks so spend is accurately attributed to teams, products, and services.
• Drive rate optimisation across the estate: commitment management, Reserved Instances, and Savings Plans strategy (including RDS), balancing coverage against flexibility.
• Build and maintain FinOps reporting, dashboards, and tooling that turn cloud billing data into actionable insight for engineering, finance, and leadership.
• Improve forecasting accuracy and support budgeting, working closely with finance partners to make cloud spend predictable.
• Identify and drive workload optimisation and waste reduction, partnering with engineering teams to act on rightsizing, scheduling, and architecture opportunities.
• Define and track cloud efficiency KPIs, and embed cost-aware engineering into design and deliveries so cost is considered before spend is committed.
• Investigate cost anomalies and act as the go-to expert for cloud cost questions across the organisation.
