Job description

FinOps & Cloud Architecture Engineer

Cloud & Infrastructure Team | Full-Time | Mid-Level (7 –12 years)

About The Role

We're looking for a FinOps & Cloud Architecture Engineer who can bridge the gap between engineering and finance. You'll design and maintain scalable, secure cloud infrastructure while owning the cost side of the equation — tracking spend, identifying waste, and building the tagging, budgeting, and forecasting practices that keep cloud costs predictable as we scale. This is a hybrid role for someone who's as comfortable in a cost-allocation spreadsheet as they are in a Cloud knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Architecture

• Maintain cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP) that is secure, scalable, and cost-efficient.
• Build and manage Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar).
• Evaluate architecture decisions (compute, storage, networking) for both technical fit and cost impact.
• Support migrations, right-sizing initiatives, and adoption of managed/serverless services where they reduce cost or operational overhead.
• Knowledge of Github

FinOps

• Own cloud cost visibility: build dashboards and reports for spend, forecasts, and budget variance across teams.
• Implement and enforce tagging, showback/chargeback, and cost-allocation standards across cloud accounts.
• Identify and drive cost-optimization opportunities — reserved instances/savings plans, spot usage, rightsizing, storage tiering, idle resource cleanup.
• Partner with business and Finance leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and unit economics for cloud spend.
• Track and report on FinOps KPIs (e.g., cost per unit, waste %, savings realized) and present findings to stakeholders.
• Evaluate and manage cloud cost-management tooling (e.g., native cost tools, Flexera etc)

Required Qualifications

• 6–10 years of experience in cloud engineering, infrastructure, DevOps, or a related role, with meaningful exposure to cost management.
• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP); working knowledge of a second is a plus.
• Solid understanding of cloud billing models, cost drivers, and optimization levers (reserved capacity, autoscaling, storage classes, etc.).
• Comfortable working with data — building reports/dashboards in tools like Excel, Looker, Tableau, or native cloud cost tools.
• Strong communication skills; able to translate technical cost drivers into terms Finance and business stakeholders understand.

Preferred Qualifications

• FinOps Certified Practitioner (FOCP) certification or equivalent.
• Cloud architecture certification (AWS Solutions Architect etc)
• Experience with Kubernetes cost management (e.g., Kubecost) and containerized workloads.
• Familiarity with FinOps tooling.
• Scripting ability (Python, Bash, or similar) for automating cost reports or cleanup tasks.

What Success Looks Like

• Cloud spend is fully tagged, allocated, and visible by team/product within the first few months.
• Architecture reviews consistently catch cost and reliability issues before deployment.
• Measurable, sustained reduction in cloud waste through concrete optimization initiatives.
