ABOUT THE ROLE

MUST HAVES

• - 4+ years of experience in FinOps.
• - Strong cloud cost management and optimization expertise.
• - Proven ability to investigate spend anomalies and produce written root-cause analyses.
• - Experience serving as a partner-facing resource, advising and consulting directly with R&D/engineering teams.
• - Cloud cost forecasting experience, including aligning central forecasts with team-level projections.
• - Familiarity with OpenAI/LLM cost drivers and monitoring LLM spend.
• - Cost modeling and team investment/project tracking.
• - Proficiency with Jira for documenting investigations and Slack for real-time, asynchronous support.
• - Experience in maintaining technical documentation/wiki spaces and contributing to recurring reporting, such as Showback.
• - Strong written and verbal communication for stakeholder engagement and reporting.
• - Availability to cover APAC business hours with necessary PST and afternoon CST overlap.

NICE TO HAVES

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• - Serve as the primary point of contact for R&D teams seeking cloud cost guidance, triaging and answering inbound questions in real time via the team's Slack channel and other asynchronous channels.
• - Conduct proactive, consultative engagement with key spending teams, especially APAC-based colleagues — to review monthly cloud spending, surface actionable cost opportunities, and understand upcoming engineering roadmap delivery plans before they become budget surprises; capture meeting notes and summaries with recommendations on top recurring questions and emerging cost patterns.
• - Proactively monitor cloud and AI/LLM spend for anomalies, cost spikes, and inefficiency patterns; conduct structured investigations into flagged variances, produce written root-cause analyses, and deliver actionable optimization recommendations to team owners, documenting the work on Jira tickets and flagging items for the monthly reporting.
• - Participate in the monthly forecasting cycle, engaging directly with assigned R&D teams to align central forecasts with team-level projections, surface discrepancies, and document team plans and intent for upcoming spend; produce monthly forecast engagement notes per assigned team cohort.
• - Contribute a FinOps practitioner perspective and team-sourced information, including AI/LLM cost drivers, to showback reporting and top spending R&D team meetings, maintaining an understanding of cost drivers.
• - Support Cost Awareness and Cost Education efforts, and audit and update the relevant space on the wiki.
• - Model team cost projections and respond to customer help requests via Slack, email, and other channels.
