Reporting to the CFO and working in close functional partnership with the CTPO, you will act as a Finance Business Partner for the Technology & Product (T&P) organization.

In our high-growth environment, you will work at the intersection of Finance, Product, Engineering, Data, and HR.

Your Missions :

1. Cloud infrastructure costs and platform economics

• Inform – structure the tagging strategy, cost allocation models, and dashboards that attribute cloud spend to specific teams, products, and features
• Optimize – own spend anomaly detection and drive optimization levers (rightsizing, reservations/commitments, waste elimination)
• Operate – anchor governance over time: alerts, regular reviews with the T&P teams, continuous improvement of the allocation model
• Connect infrastructure costs to revenue and cost of revenue to give Finance a reliable read on gross margin and unit economics, in coordination with the Data team
• Own the rolling infrastructure cost forecast, linking expected customer growth, usage, product adoption and architectural changes to future cloud and infrastructure spend

2. Cost impact of new products and offerings

• Work upstream with Product and Tech to anticipate the impact of new products, features, and architectures on the cost structure
• Identify the economic scaling factor of new products: what happens to infrastructure cost at 2x, 10x and 100x usage
• Build pre-launch cost models (unit costs and scaling costs) and periodically reconcile them against actual production economics after launch

3. T&P resource allocation and cost planning

This section operates on a dotted line to the CTPO. The CTPO is the primary internal client of the output: allocation data, KPI cockpit, and R&D ROI analysis are built to serve T&P steering.

• Provide the CTPO with a reliable view of T&P resource allocation across Major Initiatives, including capacity, fully loaded cost and evolution over time, to support prioritization and R&D investment decisions
• Maintain reliable time tracking on subsidized R&D projects (CIR/CII, France 2030, BPI grants) — securing the audit trail required for tax credit justification and grant reporting
• Track and model the cost ramp tied to the T&P hiring plan (future payroll, recruitment costs), in coordination with HR and the Finance team
• Give Finance a clear view of the fully loaded cost of a T&P hire and its P&L impact, to support annual budgeting and scenario planning

Your profile :

• You have hands-on experience understanding and optimizing infrastructure spend across public cloud and/or large-scale hosted environments, such as AWS, Azure, GCP, or OVH, including billing, cost allocation, rightsizing, and commitments.
• You have genuine technical credibility and are comfortable challenging Engineering teams as a peer on architecture and cost trade-offs. This is where you create value.
• You have a strong command of FinOps concepts, including tagging, cost allocation, unit economics, and gross margin.
• You are comfortable working with data, including SQL and/or cloud cost-management tools, and you are able to build relevant financial and operational models.
• You are fluent in English, both written and spoken.

Nice-to-have:

• You hold a FinOps certification, such as the FinOps Foundation certification, or an equivalent qualification.
• You have a good understanding of Finance and management control, or the appetite to build this knowledge on the job with the support of the CFO and Finance team.
• You have experience working in a B2B SaaS or scale-up environment.
• You understand the importance of gross margin in a fundraising context.
• Strong values of collaboration, innovation, trust, excellence, humility and open-mindedness to help you thrive and make your contribution impactful
• Remote-friendly setting: you can be in a hybrid setting (Paris or Rennes) with up to 3 remote days per week, or be fully remote with professional trips once a month
• 100% of the Alan Health insurance package covered by Sekoia
• Swile vouchers of 11€/day 50% covered by Sekoia
• Offices located in central Paris (10e) and central Rennes (near the station)
