We are seeking a Senior FinOps Developer Engineer to join our Cloud Business Office team and help maximize the value of our AWS cloud investments. This role sits at the intersection of software engineering, data, and cloud financial management (FinOps).

You will design and build scalable solutions that provide real-time visibility, cost optimization, and financial governance across AWS environments. Beyond analysis, this role emphasizes automation, tooling, and engineering-driven FinOps practices to enable teams to make cost-efficient decisions.

You'll partner closely with Engineering, Finance, and Cloud Platform teams to embed cost awareness into the development lifecycle and drive a culture of accountability and optimization.

What You'll Do:

AWS Cost Engineering & Optimization

• Develop and maintain automated solutions to monitor, analyze, and optimize AWS spend across accounts and services
• Identify and implement cost-saving strategies (e.g., rightsizing, Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, storage tiering, scheduling)
• Build cost-aware architectures in collaboration with engineering teams

FinOps Platform Development

• Design and implement FinOps tooling, APIs, and data pipelines for cost visibility and governance
• Automate cost allocation, tagging enforcement, and chargeback/showback models
• Integrate AWS billing data into centralized data platforms for analytics and reporting

Data, Reporting & Forecasting

• Build scalable dashboards and reporting systems using tools like QuickSight, Tableau, or Power BI
• Develop forecasting models and anomaly detection systems for cloud spend
• Enable self-service cost insights for engineering and business teams

Governance & Best Practices

• Establish and enforce cloud cost governance frameworks, tagging standards, and policies
• Embed FinOps principles into CI/CD pipelines and engineering workflows
• Drive adoption of cost optimization best practices across teams

Collaboration & Enablement

• Partner with Finance to align cloud usage with budgets and forecasts
• Work with Engineering teams to balance cost, performance, and scalability
• Educate teams on AWS cost management and FinOps principles

What You'll Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
• AWS certification (e.g., Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer)
• 3-5+ years of experience in FinOps, cloud engineering, or cloud cost optimization
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS services, pricing models, and billing architecture
• Experience with cost tools such as AWS Cost Explorer, Harness CCM, Apptio, CloudCheckr or similar
• Proficiency in data analysis and visualization tools such as Python, SQL, Power BI, or Excel
• Experience building data pipelines, dashboards, and financial models
• Strong understanding of cloud architecture and distributed systems
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate data into actionable insights

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in software engineering or platform engineering
• Experience with AWS-native services (e.g., Cost & Usage Reports, QuickSight)
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Experience implementing automated governance and policy enforcement
• FinOps certifications (e.g., FinOps Practitioner)

What Sets You Apart

• You think like an engineer first-automating everything possible
• You bring a product mindset to internal FinOps tooling
• You can bridge finance, data, and engineering seamlessly
• You proactively identify opportunities and drive them to execution

Why Join Us

• Work on high-impact cloud initiatives at enterprise scale
• Influence how engineering teams build cost-efficient systems on AWS
