About The Position

This role will be responsible for operationalizing FinOps—turning cloud billing and usage signals into automated, trusted, decision‑ready insights. This role partners across engineering, finance, cloud ops, and product teams to deliver cost transparency and accountability through scalable showback/chargeback, automated tagging governance (policy‑as‑code), anomaly/variance operations, and optimization cadence. High level of engineering expertise with strong financial acumen, resource optimization strategies, and data visualization abilities. Key responsibilities include analyzing cloud costs, identifying waste, and recommending rightsizing and architectural optimizations; building automated workflows to detect and remove unused resources. The position also leads end-to-end cost optimization projects, including requirements gathering, UAT, documentation, and delivery, while building automated ETL processes to unify billing and operational datasets. The IT Senior Cloud Engineer ensures that enterprise cloud solutions are optimized for cost and functionality and is responsible for execution of the cloud / infrastructure strategy set by architects. Develops internal and external compatibility of the system and subsystems. Develops highly complex scripts using a tool or combination of tools to automate a task or a series of tasks. Develops, complies, and may oversee team compliance with SLAs or OLAs. Documents new or modified solutions, installation instructions and other system-related information. Writes configuration for cloud platforms leveraging appropriate tools. Collaborates with developers and is responsible for the "Ops" part of DevOps. Develops and may maintain tools and frameworks that other teams use to smoothly develop their applications. Uses technology to implement automation and orchestration. Leads the implementation and integration of cloud solutions and technologies across business and IT functions, products, and platforms. Proactively seeks new ways to integrate cloud solutions with existing enterprise tools and systems. Responsible for compliance of cloud solutions to architectural standards. Leads evaluations of enterprise cloud technology standards, tools, products, and solutions to identify opportunities for improvement. Partners with security staff to ensure Cloud solutions support maintenance of a secure technology environment. Responsible for planning and validating the installation, configuration, and maintenance of Cloud solutions. Implements governance for role-based access control (RBAC), cost containment and cloud provider account management. Develops time and cost estimates for cloud solutions. Creates and determines Cloud systems specifications, input/output processes and working parameters for hardware/software compatibility. Evaluates technical requirements to determine the impact of Cloud technologies on the infrastructure including equipment redundancy and capacity requirements. Creates the physical design for cloud-based solutions for infrastructure and platforms.
