  • Improve Cloud Forecasting & Budgeting :

  • Own and refine the annual cloud spend forecasting and budgeting process to more robust forecasts incorporating organic and inorganic signals.
  • Serve as the DRI for Finance and Engineering leaders on forecasting, explaining variances, and highlighting optimization opportunities.
  • Facilitate out-of-budget requests and budget transfers between teams.
  • Provide Strategic Support and Execution :

  • Stay informed of Roblox's company goals that impact public cloud planning, proposing and supporting strategic solutions.
  • Establish centralized strategic discussions and plan formation related to cloud costing, service impacts, and build-outs.

  • Create what-if models and simulate cost impact of architectural or usage changes.
  • You have :

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; MBA or advanced degree a plus.
  • Proven 5–8 years of experience in a Cloud FinOps, Cloud Cost Management, or similar technical role, preferably in a large-scale, multi-cloud environment (AWS or GCP or Azure).
  • Deep understanding of cloud cost models, pricing strategies, and optimization techniques (e.g., RIs, SPs, rightsizing, spot instances)
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to gather, analyze, and interpret complex financial and cloud usage data.
  • Deep hands-on expertise (beyond configuration) with cloud cost management tools and platforms (e.g., Yotascale, CloudHealth, native cloud tools), including API interaction, data modeling, and custom visualization development.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders (finance, engineering, leadership).
  • A proactive and ownership-driven mindset, comfortable leading initiatives and driving change in a dynamic environment.
