# Founding Devops/FinOps Engineer

- **Company:** Yasu
- **Location:** Utrecht, Netherlands
- **Experience:** Experienced
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Cursor (Graphical User Interface Elements), DevOps, Open Source Technology, Google Cloud, DevOps Tools - Open-source, Cloudformation, Bicep, Cloud Optimization, Terraform
- **Published:** July 15, 2026

## About the Role

* Have 4+ years hands-on in cloud cost optimization. You've personally cut six or seven figures of cloud spend.
 * Live in the console and the IaC repo, not in slides. You know which workloads should never run on-demand.

## Description

* Know IaC properly. Terraform at minimum, ideally Bicep or CloudFormation too.
 * Communicate like an engineer to engineers. You can run a working session with a Head of Platform, find savings in their console live, and write the runbook by EOD.
 * Move fast and ship. Bias for action. You fix what you find.
 * Use AI tools daily. Claude, Cursor, agents.

Bonus points for

 * Background at AWS, GCP, Azure, or a high-growth infrastructure or DevOps tooling company
 * Owned real FinOps numbers inside a mid-market or enterprise company
 * Open source contributions in cloud, IaC, or FinOps
 * FinOps certification (nice to have, your savings portfolio matters more)
 * Early engineer at a startup before
