FinOps Consultant

Location - SCV / Austin onsite role

Responsibilities

You will design and build the foundational FinOps architecture for a large-scale Data Platform — the systems that enable cost visibility, efficiency, and accountability across thousands of workloads.

In this role, you will :

• Lead the design of a scalable cost attribution and chargeback framework spanning compute, storage, caching, GPU, and network layers.
• Build instrumentation and data pipelines that collect usage telemetry, normalize cost data, and surface insights across both internal and cloud environments.
• Partner with platform and infrastructure teams to integrate cost efficiency automation — including autoscaling, throttling, resource reclamation, and policy enforcement.
• Develop dashboards and reporting systems that provide real-time visibility into utilization, waste, and savings opportunities.
• Guide efficiency initiatives across teams by identifying underutilized clusters, GPU idle time, and unoptimized workloads to drive measurable cost reduction.
• Collaborate with Finance, Capacity Planning, and Engineering to define budgeting models, KPIs, and showback / chargeback policies.
• Mentor engineers across the organization in FinOps best practices and foster a culture of fiscal accountability within engineering.

This is a high-impact, cross-functional role. You’ll work across cloud, AIML, and platform teams to ensure every dollar of compute delivers maximum value.
