About the project

We are looking for an experienced FinOps Cloud Engineer to deliver end-to-end cost governance and optimisation across a multi-cloud environment (Azure, AWS, and GCP). This hands-on role combines engineering depth (automation, IaC, scripting) with FinOps practice (governance, allocation, savings forecasting) to build sustainable controls, lower cloud spend, and embed cost-aware behaviours across engineering teams.

You’ll play a pivotal role in analysing patterns, building automation for logging/observability and storage cost controls, implementing guardrails, and driving measurable savings at scale—all while ensuring compliance with strict governance and operational frameworks.

Sounds like your kind of challenge?

Your responsibilities

• Identify cost optimisation levers (e.g., ingestion, retention, tiering, sampling rules) and prioritise actions by ROI.
• Build and deploy automation and IaC for logging and storage cost optimisation; ensure rollback and post-validation processes.
• Leverage cloud-native monitoring/logging tools to analyse large-scale usage data and uncover cost drivers.
• Document and deliver structured optimisation proposals, projecting measurable savings.
• Improve tagging and allocation models to increase chargeback/showback accuracy.
• Define and maintain cloud guardrails and policies (retention standards, quotas, alerts).
• Host optimisation workshops with platform and application teams, agreeing on actions and targets.
• Produce executive-ready reporting on cost trends, savings, and governance compliance.
• Prepare runbooks, implement monitoring for cost regressions, and create automated drift detection.
• Note: Detailed project information will be shared during the recruitment process.

Our requirements

• Hands-on expertise with at least two public cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP).
• Deep understanding of logging/observability architectures and their cost implications.
• Strong experience in automation and IaC (Terraform, CI/CD – GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) and scripting (Python, Bash).
• Practical knowledge of FinOps frameworks (cost allocation, showback models, governance).
• Ability to analyse data at scale and produce detailed savings forecasts and business cases.
• Experience operating in highly governed enterprise environments, aligning with compliance and risk standards.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder influencing skills.

Optional

• Certifications: Azure, AWS, GCP or FinOps Foundation Certified Practitioner.
• Previous experience in financial services or regulated enterprise environments.
• Familiarity with policy-as-code frameworks and automation for governance enforcement.

What we offer

• Flexible cooperation model
• Hybrid work setup – 6 days per month from the office
• Collaborative team culture – work alongside experienced professionals eager to share knowledge
• Continuous development – access to training platforms and growth opportunities
• Comprehensive benefits – including Interpolska Health Care, Multisport card, Warta Insurance, and more
