Job Description

We are looking for a strategic, technically deep leader to build and lead our Cloud Optimization Engineering function. This team operates at the intersection of Engineering, Finance, and Product, and plays a critical role in shaping how we scale our SaaS platform efficiently. This is not a traditional cost optimization or CloudOps role. Success in this position comes from the ability to influence decisions across a wide range of engineering teams, translate complex technical systems into financial impact, and challenge assumptions to drive better outcomes. You will define how cost is understood, communicated, and acted on across the organization—ensuring that as we grow, we do so with intentional, data-driven tradeoffs between cost, performance, and scalability.

Job Responsibility

  • Shape Cost-Aware Engineering Decisions
  • Bridge Engineering, Finance, and Leadership
  • Drive Strategic Cost Management
  • Build Systems, Tooling, and Processes
  • Lead and Grow a High-Impact Team

Requirements

  • 7+ years in software engineering, infrastructure, or platform engineering roles
  • 3+ years of experience leading or mentoring engineers or technical teams
  • Deep experience with public cloud environments (AWS preferred) and modern SaaS architectures
  • Strong understanding of distributed systems, data-intensive workloads, and cloud cost drivers
  • Ability to evaluate and communicate tradeoffs between cost, performance, and scalability
  • Experience modeling the financial impact of technical decisions or system changes
  • Systems-level thinker who can connect architecture decisions to business outcomes
  • Demonstrated ability to influence engineering teams and drive change without direct authority
  • Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to translate between technical, financial, and executive audiences
  • Confidence in challenging assumptions and guiding teams toward better decisions
  • Experience working with or alongside FP&A, finance, or business stakeholders
  • Familiarity with cloud billing models, pricing constructs, and cost allocation approaches
  • Experience contributing to forecasting, budgeting, or financial planning processes
  • Track record of building trust across teams and driving cross-functional initiatives
  • Ability to create clarity in ambiguous, evolving environments
  • Strong sense of ownership and accountability for outcomes

Nice to have

  • Experience in FinOps or cloud financial management practices
  • Multi-cloud experience (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Experience with cost observability tools (e.g., Cloudability, CloudZero)
  • Exposure to unit economics modeling in a SaaS environment
