Job summary

SimCorp Manila seeks a deeply technical FinOps/Cloud Cost Engineer to own Azure cost management across engineering and finance, driving cost efficiency and business value.

You will build governance, automate reporting with Power BI and DAX, and collaborate with DevOps to shift-left cost optimization. This greenfield role provides autonomy, a direct line to leadership, and a hybrid work model with two days in the office each week.

Qualifications

• Extensive Azure cost and infrastructure expertise.
• Fluency with cloud billing data, the FOCUS specification, and the SQL/Python (or DAX) to work with it directly.
• Demonstrated experience generating measurable cost savings and the confidence to question senior engineers’ decisions.
• Commercial instinct — you connect technical decisions to margin and business value.
• Desired experience includes FinOps Certified Practitioner credentials, Terraform, or direct experience with AI/ML workload cost management.
• Others: Flexible working hours and working mode (APAC and EMEA).
• Hybrid work arrangement - 2x/week

Responsibilities

• Optimization: right-sizing compute families and SKUs, removing orphaned resources, shaping commitment strategy, and working with architects on price-to-performance trade-offs across Compute, Service Bus, Storage (NetApp, SILK), and Exadata@Azure.
• Automation & insight: building the Power BI / FinOps-toolkit reporting and automated anomaly detection so cost monitoring runs itself rather than as a daily manual chore. DAX welcome.
• Shift-left: leading technical dialogue with DevOps teams so they design for cost-efficiency before infrastructure is provisioned.
• AI cost governance: bringing cost per token, model and inference under management as our AI-agent workloads scale.
• Forecasting & evergreening: owning the models finance relies on; turning spend from a monthly surprise into a defensible plan and continuously aging out inefficient services for more cost-effective options.
