Job description

At nOps, we envision a world where DevOps and Engineering teams can take control of their cloud costs, so they only pay for what they use - not what’s provisioned. nOps’s ML-powered cloud optimization platform processes over 1.5 billion dollars of cloud spend and we’re just getting started. Our platform helps Engineering and DevOps teams automatically manage cloud usage, commitments, and spending. This results in teams using less cloud resources and paying less for the compute resources they do use.

As a nOps team member, you’ll help solve the toughest problems in cloud optimization with solutions that delight Engineering teams. If building and scaling products while working with great people resonates with you, keep reading.
