About the Role

We are hiring a FinOps Engineer to help engineering teams build more efficient applications. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of cloud architecture, software development, and financial accountability.

You will work directly with customers to deploy Frugal, uncover cloud and managed-service waste, and help automate fixes that improve efficiency.

‍

What You'll Do

• Deploy and configure Frugal across customer applications and environments.
• Analyze cloud usage patterns across AWS (required), GCP, Azure, and managed services (e.g., Datadog, Snowflake, OpenAI, Vertex).
• Identify sources of cloud waste and recommend optimizations at app, service, and infrastructure layers.
• Collaborate with our engineering team to design and implement automation and tooling (scripts, pipelines, alerts) that surface and remediate inefficiencies.
• Integrate cost-awareness into development and release processes with engineering organizations.
• Act as a trusted advisor to customers, connecting cost decisions to product and engineering priorities.
• Feed customer insights into the product roadmap based on usage and architecture trends.

‍

What We're Looking For

• 3–5+ years in FinOps, Cloud/Platform Engineering, SRE, or related role.
• Strong experience with AWS; familiarity with GCP/Azure is a plus.
• Working knowledge of common cloud managed services (compute, storage, networking, observability, queues, AI/ML APIs).
• Understanding of CI/CD, deployment workflows, and software development practices.
• Experience building cost dashboards, optimization playbooks, or policy-as-code automation is advantageous.
• Excellent communication skills; comfortable with technical and finance stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience preferred.

‍

Who You Are

• Curious and analytical—able to dig into ambiguous problems to find root causes.
• Comfortable speaking in technical depth with engineers and in business terms with finance leaders.
• Passionate about developer experience and shipping more efficient software.

‍

Location & Perks

• Open to remote employees; preference for candidates in Ottawa and Toronto.
• Competitive salaries, benefits programs, stock options, and flexible work-from-home options.

‍

If you're excited to work with cutting edge AI technolgy with a fast growing startup, please apply.

‍

You collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into robust technical implementations, contributing to architecture decisions and establishing patterns that other engineers can follow.

‍

You mentor team members through code reviews, pair programming, and knowledge sharing while championing engineering best practices including automated testing, observability, and security compliance (SOC 2).

‍

You work closely with your team as well as the VP of Engineering and CTO to influence technical direction, evaluate new technologies, and contribute to the roadmap planning process.

‍

You engage with customers and stakeholders to understand pain points and validate technical solutions that deliver measurable value.

‍

You embrace our culture of continuous improvement by staying current with industry trends, enabling rapid change through AI-driven development tools, and contributing to our agile development processes.
