Role OverviewWe are looking for a Senior FinOps Analyst to advise engineering teams on cloud costs and optimization. This role requires a schedule that covers APAC business hours (evening/night shift in LATAM/US), including a necessary overlap with PST and afternoon CST. The Senior FinOps Analyst will serve as the primary point of contact for R&D teams seeking cloud cost guidance, triaging and answering inbound questions in real time via the team's Slack channel and other asynchronous channels.
What You Will Do
The Senior FinOps Analyst will conduct proactive, consultative engagement with key spending teams, especially APAC-based colleagues — to review monthly cloud spending, surface actionable cost opportunities, and understand upcoming engineering roadmap delivery plans before they become budget surprises; capture meeting notes and summaries with recommendations on top recurring questions and emerging cost patterns.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The Senior FinOps Analyst will support Cost Awareness and Cost Education efforts, and audit and update the relevant space on the wiki. The role requires a strong cloud cost management and optimization expertise, and experience serving as a partner-facing resource, advising and consulting directly with R&D/engineering teams.
