Founding DevOps/FinOps Engineer

• Be the FinOps brain inside our agentic system.
• Your patterns, your judgment, your rules – encoded into agents that run across every customer.
• Own the customer outcome.
• Get on calls with our customers' Platform and Cloud teams, find the savings, prove them in production.
• Push the autonomy frontier with guardrails.
• Decide what's safe for agents to fix on their own.
• Design the policies that make customers trust autonomous action in production.
• Shift cost left.
• Build the engine that catches expensive infrastructure decisions in the PR, not the invoice.
• Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation.
• Feed the agents.
• Every customer engagement becomes a new optimization pattern, encoded into our multi-agent system so the next 100 customers benefit automatically.

Requirements

• 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.
• Write code to automate your work. Python, Bash, whatever fits.
• You don't click through 80 accounts.
• 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.
