• Enhance Visibility: Tag and label application-specific and shared resources to improve cost tracking and attribution, enabling better decision-making.
• Evaluate ROI: Analyze the cost of running applications (e.g., cloud-hosted versus on-prem) and compare against revenue contributions to guide strategic investments.
• Collaborate and Coach: Partner with engineering and product teams to implement FinOps best practices, develop cost-aware standards, and promote a culture of cost optimization.
• Automate and Refine: Continuously improve cost management processes by introducing automation and monitoring tools to scale efforts and drive efficiencies.

You Have:

• 5+ years of experience in cloud architecture with a focus on FinOps and cost optimization
• Hands-on expertise in AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, including cost analysis, management tools, and optimization strategies
• A strong software architecture background with a demonstrated ability to drive cost-effective solutions

• Excellent analytical skills with a knack for turning data insights into actionable cost-saving initiatives
• A proactive, solution-oriented mindset, with a passion for continuously improving cloud financial performance
