About The Position

At Hudl, we build great teams. We hire the best of the best to ensure you’re working with people you can constantly learn from. You’re trusted to get your work done your way while testing the limits of what’s possible and what’s next. We work hard to provide a culture where everyone feels supported, and our employees feel it—their votes helped us become one of Newsweek's Top 100 Global Most Loved Workplaces. We think of ourselves as the team behind the team, supporting the lifelong impact sports can have: the lessons in teamwork and dedication; the influence of inspiring coaches; and the opportunities to reach new heights. That’s why we help teams from all over the world see their game differently. Our products make it easier for coaches and athletes at any level to capture video, analyze data, share highlights and more. Ready to join us? Your Role Cloud and software are among the largest investments we make, and every dollar there is one that could also be going toward the product itself or the team building it. Our FinOps practice exists to make sure that spend is understood, accountable, and every dollar is working as efficiently as it can. As a Senior Systems Analyst, you'll own that picture end to end. You'll allocate spend back to the services and teams driving it, forecast where it's headed, and consult teams on best practices to propose changes that maximize efficiency. You'll be the single, trusted source of truth for product and leadership on the real cost of what we build and what's on the roadmap to better leverage those dollars we put to work.

Requirements

• 5+ years across data analysis, budgeting, and forecasting, and you're just as comfortable digging into a trend as you are building a budget or projecting what comes next (Cloud FinOps context strongly preferred).
• 5+ years using code to eliminate manual work, with strong proficiency in Python and working comfort in SQL.
• Hands-on experience with AWS, its pricing and cost models, and committed-use strategies like Reserved Instances and Savings Plans.
• You can walk into an undefined problem, research it, define a path forward in a formal pitch, and manage it to completion using Scrum or Kanban in Jira, all without waiting to be told how.
• You can explain complex analysis to Directors and VPs as easily as to engineers, and you build the relationships that let you move work across teams. You work independently without working in a silo, bringing others along and cross-training as you go.
• You use AI to make yourself and others faster, sharper, and more well-rounded. That's a requirement here, not a novelty.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with the Claude ecosystem is a plus.
• Experience with CloudZero, Terraform (via Spacelift), GitHub Actions or AWS Lambda, SQL, DBT, Python, and leveraging APIs for sourcing data and management.
• FinOps Certified Practitioner (FOCP), or hands-on experience applying FinOps best practices.
• Foundational software engineering experience that helps you build solutions, not just analyze them.

Responsibilities

• Forecast and get ahead of cost. You'll own the models that track, allocate, and predict where our cloud and software spend is going, monitor AWS and the rest of our stack for anomalies, and action them the moment they surface. When something breaks, you won't just put out the fire, you'll build the guardrails that keep it from starting again.
• Turn spend into decisions leadership can act on. You'll maintain the chargeback model that ties every dollar back to the service, squad, or contract that incurred it, and partner with Accounting and FP&A to keep the numbers aligned. When leaders have a question about cost, you're the single pane of glass they come to.
• Automate anything worth doing twice. You'll write Python and leverage GitHub Actions and Lambda to take manual work off the team's plate, manage AWS reservations and Savings Plans, and use SQL and DBT against our data warehouse. If a task repeats, it's a candidate for automation, and you're the one who builds it.
• Find the work, then drive it home. You'll spot cost and efficiency opportunities on your own, shape them into a formal pitch, and once approved, carry them across engineering, product, finance, and accounting to completion. You're the connective tissue that keeps it all moving.

Benefits

• Flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more)
• Open, honest culture and trust our people from day one.
• Support from your team, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas.
• Lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
• Invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech stack and hardware to do your best work.
• Employee Assistance Program, employee resource groups and fitness partner Peerfit.
• Multiple medical insurance plans to pick from to ensure you’ll have the coverage you (and your dependents) want, including vision, dental, fertility healthcare and family forming benefits.
• 401(K) match up to 4% of your own contribution.
