FinOps Engineer

We’re looking for a FinOps Engineer to join our team and build our infrastructure cost optimization practice from the ground up. You’ll own cloud cost governance across AWS, Azure, GCP, and our on-premises environments, partnering closely with our Engineering, Platform, and US-based Finance teams to turn infrastructure spend into a source of strategic advantage rather than a line item to manage.

This is an opportunity to define how Blitzy thinks about cost as we scale - from forecasting and tagging standards to the cost allocation platform that powers our unit economics.

What Success Looks Like

• Cloud spend across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-prem is actively optimized, with clear, ongoing reductions that don’t compromise reliability or performance.
• A company-wide FinOps practice is in place - governance, forecasting, budgeting, and tagging standards that engineering and finance both trust.
• Finance can reliably attribute infrastructure costs to products, services, and customers, giving leadership accurate COGS reporting and unit economics.
• Dashboards and data pipelines give engineering and finance one shared, trusted view of infrastructure costs across every cloud provider.
• Cost considerations are built into how Engineering and Platform teams design infrastructure, run Kubernetes, and make architecture decisions - not bolted on after the fact.

Areas of Ownership

• Own infrastructure cost optimization across AWS, Azure, GCP, and our on-premises environments by identifying opportunities to reduce spend while maintaining reliability and performance.
• Build and own a company-wide FinOps practice, including cloud cost governance, forecasting, budgeting, tagging standards, and executive reporting.
• Partner with Finance to design and implement a cost allocation platform that accurately attributes infrastructure costs to products, services, and customers, enabling COGS reporting and unit economics.
• Develop dashboards, analytics, and data pipelines that consolidate billing and operational data from multiple cloud providers, giving engineering and finance a single source of truth for infrastructure costs.
• Work closely with Engineering and Platform teams to incorporate cost optimization into infrastructure design, Kubernetes operations, and cloud architecture, ensuring cost is considered alongside scalability, security, and reliability.

• 4+ years of experience in FinOps, cloud cost optimization, or a related infrastructure/finance-facing engineering role
• Hands-on experience managing cost across at least two major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Working knowledge of Kubernetes cost management and how workload design decisions impact spend
• Experience building dashboards and data pipelines that consolidate multi-source billing and usage data
• Familiarity with FinOps frameworks and practices - tagging governance, forecasting, budgeting, and chargeback/showback models
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work across time zones and maintain overlap with our US-based Finance and Engineering teams

What Makes You Stand Out

• FinOps Certified Practitioner or equivalent certification
• Experience with cloud cost management platforms (e.g., CloudHealth, Cloudability, Kubecost, native cloud cost tools)
• Background building or scaling a cost allocation model tied to COGS or unit economics reporting
• Experience partnering directly with Finance teams, not just Engineering
• Prior experience at a fast-growing startup managing multi-cloud, multi-environment infrastructure
