Job Description:

This is not a standard data engineering role. As a Cost Allocation Data Engineer, you will sit at the intersection of cloud economics, financial modeling, and data engineering, building the core allocation logic that enables show back and chargeback across complex cloud environments. Your work will directly influence how business leaders understand, govern, and optimize cloud spend. This is the most business-logic-intensive engineering role on the team, ideal for someone who thrives on translating financial concepts into scalable, auditable data models.

Job Responsibility:

  • Design and implement a cost allocation rule engine supporting: Tag-based attribution, Account/subscription-based mappings, Custom business-defined allocation rules
  • Build amortization models for upfront cloud commitments: 1-year and 3-year reservations, Prepaid and committed-use discounts
  • Implement shared cost distribution models, including: Proportional allocation, Even split, Fixed-coefficient weighting
  • Create attribution logic for untagged costs, leveraging: Account ownership, Usage heuristics, Business metadata
  • Develop budget vs. actual variance models to support cost governance
  • Design forecasting input models using historical trends and seasonality
  • Ensure all models align with accounting principles, including: Period alignment, Matching principle, Accrual and amortization logic

Requirements:

  • 5–7 years of hands-on data engineering experience
  • Proven experience building chargeback and/or showback systems
  • Strong exposure to cloud cost allocation in enterprise environments
  • Expert-level SQL (complex joins, window functions, performance tuning)
  • Strong dimensional data modeling skills (facts, dimensions, slowly changing dimensions)
  • Experience with modern data modeling tools such as: dbt, LookML, or equivalent frameworks
  • Deep understanding of FinOps cost allocation methodologies
  • Solid grasp of financial accounting concepts, including: Amortization, Accruals, Budgeting and variance analysis
  • Work Authorization: U.S. Citizen or Green Card only (no sponsorship available)

Nice to have:

  • Prior work supporting FinOps, Finance, or Cost Management teams is highly preferred
  • You think in business rules, not just pipelines
  • You can explain financial models clearly to both engineers and finance stakeholders
  • You build data models that are: Auditable, Explainable, Scalable
  • You’ve worked in environments where cost transparency directly impacts executive decisions
What we offer:
  • Work on high-visibility, mission-critical financial data models
  • Fully remote U.S.-based role
  • Collaborate with senior FinOps, Finance, and Engineering leaders
  • Opportunity to shape the foundation of enterprise cloud cost governance
