• Deliver, and support FinOps tooling platforms that provide cloud cost visibility, optimization, and governance across the organization.
• Develop integrations and automations that connect FinOps platforms to cloud provider APIs (AWS, Azure) and other data sources to automate data collection, reporting, and alerts.
• Participate in proofs of concept (POCs) for emerging FinOps tools, evaluate technical fit, and document findings, and patterns.
• Serve as a technical resource for the FinOps and engineering teams by creating documentation, dashboards, automated reports, and support procedures to surface cost and usage insights.

• Understanding of core computer science concepts: data structures, algorithms, and object-oriented design.
• Strong problem-solving skills and eagerness to learn in a fast-paced cloud environment.
• Exposure to or curiosity about AI and large language model tools and their application in software development and automation workflows.

What makes you stand out:

• Hands-on experience with Python and cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) through coursework, projects, or internships.
• Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and tools (e.g., GitHub Actions) and integrating with RESTful APIs using Python.
• Interest and ability to evaluate new tools, design/execute POCs, and clearly communicate findings.

Why join our team:

• We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders.
