Position Summary

The Cloud FinOps Engineer is an IT and cloud engineering role responsible for enabling cost‑efficient, scalable, and well‑governed cloud usage across BMS’s multi‑cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP). This role applies FinOps principles through technology, automation, and platform design, rather than traditional financial execution.

The engineer works within the Cloud / SRE / Platform organization, embedding cost visibility, optimization, and governance directly into cloud architectures, infrastructure‑as‑code, CI/CD pipelines, and operational workflows. The position focuses on building and operating technical solutions for cost allocation, tagging enforcement, anomaly detection, optimization insights, and reporting—ensuring these capabilities are reliable, scalable, and consumable by engineering and application teams.

The Cloud FinOps Engineer partners closely with SRE, Platform Engineering, Security, Network, Application Owners, and Finance, translating cloud usage and architectural decisions into actionable insights and automated controls that improve efficiency and value realization across BMS.

Key Responsibilities

Cloud Operations & FinOps Engineering

Perform day‑to‑day cloud cost and usage analysis across AWS, Azure, and GCP, focusing on tagging enforcement, anomaly detection, and optimization follow‑up.
Operate and enhance cloud cost observability solutions, including dashboards, scorecards, unit‑economics views, and usage trends.
Investigate cost spikes and usage anomalies by correlating architecture, utilization, and operational events.
Ensure continuous operational coverage by identifying gaps in cost governance processes and implementing technical improvements

Platform Enablement & Stakeholder Engagement

Serve as a technical point of contact for cloud consumers and application teams, translating cost, utilization, and architectural patterns into clear engineering guidance.
Facilitate recurring cloud consumption and optimization reviews, focusing on how design choices impact scalability, reliability, and cost.
Influence teams across IT to adopt engineering‑led FinOps best practices, embedded into provisioning, deployment, and runtime operations.
Partner with Finance teams by providing reliable cloud cost data, tooling, and automation, while ownership remains within IT.

Cost Optimization & Engineering Execution

Independently analyze cloud usage to identify waste, inefficiencies, and optimization opportunities, including
Compute and database rightsizing
Storage tiering and lifecycle policies
Kubernetes and container cost drivers
Data transfer and networking patterns
Lead small‑to‑medium engineering‑driven optimization initiatives, ensuring measurable and sustainable impact.
Support commitment strategies (Savings Plans, Reserved Instances, CUDs) through data analysis and tooling enablement.
Promote a shift from reactive cost reduction to continuous, automated optimization.

Automation, Tooling & Infrastructure as Code

Build and maintain automation solutions using Python to improve accuracy, speed, and scalability of FinOps operations.
Develop solutions in AWS using services such as
AWS Lambda o Databases (RDS, DynamoDB, Redshift)
Step Functions

Integrate cost controls, tagging validation, and reporting into CI/CD pipelines.
Leverage APIs and scripting to automate
Cost anomaly reporting
Scheduled usage and spend analysis
Data ingestion from cloud billing systems
(Optional) Contribute to or enhance Auto Remediation Frameworks to correct inefficient or non‑compliant configurations.

Identity, Governance & Compliance Enablement

Apply knowledge of Identity and Access Management (IAM), especially role‑based access, to support secure and accountable cloud usage.
Ensure cost attribution and ownership data are technically enforced and auditable.
Support compliance and audit needs by enabling system‑generated evidence and traceability.
Collaborate with Security and Compliance teams to embed FinOps controls into platform standards.

Collaboration & Cross‑Team Alignment

Work with SRE, Security, Network, Engineering, Product, and Procurement teams to integrate cost considerations into technical decisions.
Represent the FinOps engineering function on cross‑functional initiatives.
Communicate complex technical and cost‑related concepts clearly across engineering, operational, and leadership audiences

Qualifications & Experience Required

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Data Analytics, or related technical field.
