Job summary

SimCorp seeks a deeply technical FinOps owner to optimize Azure-based costs and drive business value across scale. You’ll bridge engineering and finance, owning cost strategy, price‑to‑performance trade‑offs, and automation that keeps spend honest.

You’ll focus on measurable cost savings, cost reporting, and governance as AI/ML workloads scale, with a hybrid working model and leadership access.

Qualifications

• Extensive Azure cost and infrastructure expertise; interpret an architecture diagram and a cost report.
• Fluency with cloud billing data, the FOCUS specification, and 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 – plus a bias for ownership and comfort with ambiguity.
• Desired experience includes FinOps Certified Practitioner credentials, Terraform, or direct experience with AI/ML workload cost management.

Responsibilities

• Right‑sizing compute families, 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.

Job description

Why this role is important to us

Two years ago, 31% of FinOps teams touched AI spend. Today it’s 98%. Cloud and AI cost has become one of the sharpest levers in our business – and we want a deeply technical owner for it. You combine technical depth with a focus on cost savings and business value, rather than diagramming systems. Sitting between engineering and finance, you’ll own how efficiently SimCorp runs on Azure – challenging design choices, killing waste, and building the automation that keeps cost honest. This is an engineering role, not a reporting one. You’ll get real autonomy: a direct line to leadership and the mandate to make the call, so your recommendations won’t die in a committee. And you’ll do it at a scale that matters – mission‑critical software for many of the world’s largest investment managers, so getting cost right genuinely moves the needle.

Responsibilities

• 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.

Qualifications

• Extensive Azure cost and infrastructure expertise – you can interpret an architecture diagram and a cost report with equal ease.
• Fluency with cloud billing data, the FOCUS specification, and 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 – plus a bias for ownership and comfort with ambiguity.
• Desired experience includes FinOps Certified Practitioner credentials, Terraform, or direct experience with AI/ML workload cost management.

Benefits

• Attractive salary, bonus scheme, and pension.
• Flexible working hours.
• Hybrid workplace model: two days a week in office, remote on other days.
