FinOps Data Engineer

About the Role We're looking for a FinOps Data Engineer to help drive cost optimization and cloud financial governance across our AWS infrastructure and GCP footprint.

You'll work cross-functionally with Engineering Finance and Product to find and ship savings build the tooling necessary to maximize efficiency of every dollar spent in the cloud and cultivate a culture of cost awareness across engineering teams.

This role owns the data side of that mission: the models pipelines and analysis that make cost usage and margin numbers trustworthy across the company.

This is a hands-on engineering role not an analyst seat.

You'll do the schlep work other teams don't have time for digging into a bucket's access pattern writing the dbt model or Python pipeline that ships the fix building the cost-vs-revenue mart that answers a margin question once instead of every time and chasing a number until it reconciles.

Strong communication matters as much as technical depth you'll regularly explain a savings case or a data model's implications to an engineering team a finance stakeholder and a leadership audience in the same week.

What You'll Be Responsible For In this role you'll: - Find and ship savings across AWS and GCP: Analyze billing usage and cost trends to identify opportunities rightsizing storage lifecycle policies data transfer and spot/auto-scaling.

Take ideas from identification through to a realized dollar figure not just a recommendation. - Build and maintain the FinOps data pipeline: Design and run the BigQuery/dbt models that turn raw billing and usage data (CUR Storage Lens) into reconciled trustworthy mart tables the foundation everything else in FinOps is built on. - Build cost-vs-revenue and customer segmentation models: Model unit economics and margin by product line and customer segment and extend coverage as new products and segments come online. - Apply data science to cost and usage data: Build forecasting models detect anomalies statistically rather than by threshold alone and quantify savings opportunities (e.g. storage lifecycle request-cost patterns) with rigor a spreadsheet can't match. - Build and maintain cost attribution: Tagging policies cost allocation and chargeback/showback so engineering teams can see and own their own spend.

This is foundational work other savings work depends on. - Automate cost governance: Build automated cost reporting anomaly detection and alerting.

Write the scripts and infrastructure-as-code (Python Terraform Lambda) that enforce cost policy rather than relying on manual review. - Partner with engineering on architecture decisions: Bring cost into the room early cost-efficiencies are cheaper to get right at design than to retrofit. - Work with Finance on forecasting and reporting: Support budget tracking and financial KPIs; build dashboards and self-serve analytics engineering and finance can both read.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You - Have strong AWS expertise and working GCP knowledge including pricing models billing structures and cost optimization mechanics. - Have data engineering depth: dbt BigQuery (or an equivalent modern warehouse) SQL at scale and data modeling for analytics (dimensional modeling incremental models testing). - Have data science fundamentals: statistical forecasting anomaly detection and experimentation and know when a rigorous model beats a rule of thumb. - Have automation and scripting skills: Python Terraform/ pulumi Lambda or Bash. - Are comfortable with cost/billing tooling: AWS Cost Explorer Cost & Usage Reports GCP Billing Reports and BI/dashboarding (we use Hex). - Have experience with or are comfortable picking up Linear and Notion as the system of record for tracking and documenting FinOps work. - Experience with a dedicated cloud cost management platform (e.g.

CloudZero Vantage or similar) is a plus not required. - Can analyze cost data and present it clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. - Have prior experience spanning data analytics data engineering or data science in a FinOps cloud cost management or cloud governance context. - Are energized by doing the unglamorous high-leverage work (the schlep) that unblocks other teams and by working cross-functionally without positional authority.
