FinOps & Cloud Architecture Engineer

About the Role

Were looking for a FinOps & Cloud Architecture Engineer who can bridge the gap between engineering and finance. Youll design and maintain scalable secure cloud infrastructure while owning the cost side of the equation tracking spend identifying waste and building the tagging budgeting and forecasting practices that keep cloud costs predictable as we scale. This is a hybrid role for someone whos as comfortable in a cost-allocation spreadsheet as they are in a Cloud knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Architecture

• Maintain cloud infrastructure (AWS Azure and/or GCP) that is secure scalable and cost-efficient.
• Build and manage Infrastructure as Code (Terraform CloudFormation or similar).
• Evaluate architecture decisions (compute storage networking) for both technical fit and cost impact.
• Support migrations right-sizing initiatives and adoption of managed/serverless services where they reduce cost or operational overhead.
• Knowledge of Github

FinOps

• Own cloud cost visibility: build dashboards and reports for spend forecasts and budget variance across teams.
• Implement and enforce tagging showback/chargeback and cost-allocation standards across cloud accounts.
• Identify and drive cost-optimization opportunities reserved instances/savings plans spot usage rightsizing storage tiering idle resource cleanup.
• Partner with business and Finance leadership on budgeting forecasting and unit economics for cloud spend.
• Track and report on FinOps KPIs (e.g. cost per unit waste % savings realized) and present findings to stakeholders.
• Evaluate and manage cloud cost-management tooling (e.g. native cost tools Flexera etc)

Required Qualifications

• 610 years of experience in cloud engineering infrastructure DevOps or a related role with meaningful exposure to cost management.
• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS Azure or GCP); working knowledge of a second is a plus.
• Solid understanding of cloud billing models cost drivers and optimization levers (reserved capacity autoscaling storage classes etc.).
• Comfortable working with data building reports/dashboards in tools like Excel Looker Tableau or native cloud cost tools.
• Strong communication skills; able to translate technical cost drivers into terms Finance and business stakeholders understand.

Preferred Qualifications

• FinOps Certified Practitioner (FOCP) certification or equivalent.
• Cloud architecture certification (AWS Solutions Architect etc)
• Experience with Kubernetes cost management (e.g. Kubecost) and containerized workloads.
• Familiarity with FinOps tooling.
• Scripting ability (Python Bash or similar) for automating cost reports or cleanup tasks.

What Success Looks Like

• Cloud spend is fully tagged allocated and visible by team/product within the first few months.
• Architecture reviews consistently catch cost and reliability issues before deployment.
• Measurable sustained reduction in cloud waste through concrete optimization initiatives.
