Job description

ProsperOps is the category leader in autonomous cloud cost optimization, founded by the leaders behind Rackspace's AWS Managed Services Business. We use sophisticated algorithms, AI, and automation to generate world class savings outcomes for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, while minimizing our customers' risk. We have over $5 billion dollars of cloud spend under management and serve sophisticated teams like Coinbase, Canva, SeatGeek, and TD Synnex. The cloud is incredibly powerful, but operating it cost effectively is complicated and time‑moving. Our mission is to remove complexity and deliver savings outcomes so every business can prosper in the cloud. We're a fully remote team, so 100% of our roles are open to applicants anywhere in the region in which the role is advertised. ProsperOps autonomously manages cloud discount instruments using algorithms and automation and oversees over $4B of customer compute spend. We're seeking someone with a background in FinOps, complex billing, or cloud operations with demonstrated problem solving skills. You'll work on an evolving set of operational activities to ensure that our system can perform an increasingly complex set of FinOps functions. Thinking about our autonomous cloud management system as a self-driving car, you'll be like the expert driver who also knows how systems that drive the car work. This includes data analysis, financial/FinOps operations, and building exhaustive knowledge of cloud billing discount instruments like Savings Plans and Reserved Instances across clouds. For this role – we’re specifically looking for experience with Azure discount instruments. If you've worked in complex finance/billing technology environments as the expert on how things worked and want to become a world-class FinOps practitioner, this is your role. You'll be part of a startup that has a positive and low ego culture, a profitable and fast growing business, and customers that love us.

Essential Requirements

• Problem Solver - you can cull the relevant details and solve for the essence of the problem
• Unafraid of Math - you are comfortable working with numbers, reading complex charts, and ad hoc spreadsheet analysis
• Fastidious – you're organized, care about the details, and seldom make mistakes
• Ownership - you have autonomy in our culture to take on and fix shortcomings and challenges
• FinOps - you have hands-on experience with FinOps and Azure rate optimization

Ideal Requirements

• Experience working with AWS & GCP a plus
• Cloud FinOps knowledge to include deep knowledge of Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, cost & usage data, and basic finance and accounting knowledge
• Experience working with Cloud FinOps tools
• Proficient with Microsoft Excel/Google Sheets

The cloud is incredibly powerful, but operating it cost effectively is complicated and time‑moving. Our mission is to remove complexity and deliver savings outcomes so every business can prosper in the cloud. We’re a group of technologists and economics geeks who love solving problems and serving customers. Before founding ProsperOps, we started the AWS managed services business at Rackspace and grew it into one of the world’s largest AWS Premier Consulting Partners and a leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant. From serving thousands of customers at an MSP to running a SaaS company directly, we saw firsthand the importance of cost optimization, but also how hard it was to master. Doing it well requires a rare blend of finance and engineering expertise. Over the years, we’ve developed extensive experience with virtually every cost optimization solution, most of which overload users with recommendations and lack context to see the complete picture. DevOps and FinOps teams are smart—but busy—and in a world of increasingly complex and dynamic cloud environments, ongoing cloud economic optimization requires an approach that unifies the technical and financial worlds. We knew there had to be a better way—so we started ProsperOps. We build tooling and combine it with expertise to help you conquer cloud economics. We want your business to prosper in the cloud—not only by saving you money, but also by giving you time back to focus on more important things.
