• Design and implement mechanisms for identifying and decommissioning unused or underutilized technical resources.
• Spearhead the adoption of cost-effective services (e.g., serverless, spot instances, managed services) in collaboration with engineering teams.

Automation and Tooling Development :

Data Analysis and Technical Reporting :

Cross-Functional Collaboration :

Qualifications We Seek in You :

Education : Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a highly technical / quantitative field.

Experience : 5+ Years of experience in Cloud Operations, DevOps, SRE, or a highly technical FinOps role, with a proven track record of driving significant, measurable cloud cost optimization.

Core Technical Skills :

FinOps & Tooling : Practical experience administering and leveraging cloud cost management tools (e.g., CoreStack, CloudHealth, Cloudability, nOps) for advanced technical analysis and governance.
