Staff Software Engineer, FinOps & Cost Platform

Full-time

Plus10 Recruitment

Role Description

We are looking for a Staff Engineer, FinOps & Cost Platform to build and lead our engineering cost-management capability. This is a founding individual contributor role focused on improving visibility, understanding, and optimization across all engineering-controlled spend, including cloud infrastructure and engineering-owned technical vendors.

You will build the systems, tooling, and data models required to make engineering spend attributable, explainable, and actionable. In the near term, you will drive measurable savings. Over time, you will help build showback, chargeback, and unit-cost capabilities that allow us to understand the cost of services, platforms, and customer footprint more deeply.

What you'll be doing:

  • Build the internal cost platform and reporting model for engineering spend
  • Own analysis and optimization of AWS and engineering-owned vendor spend
  • Improve cost attribution, tagging, and data quality
  • Define and implement showback, chargeback, and unit-cost models
  • Partner with engineering teams to drive optimization opportunities
  • Partner with finance and procurement on forecasting, renewals, and vendor rationalization
  • Design telemetry-backed cost models that connect infrastructure spend to real usage
  • Establish governance, review cadences, and cost-aware engineering practices

Qualifications

  • Strong infrastructure or platform engineering background
  • Deep experience with AWS or comparable cloud environments
  • Proven experience with cost optimization, capacity economics, or FinOps-like work
  • Strong analytical and data-modeling ability
  • Hands-on experience building tooling, dashboards, or internal platforms
  • Ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders without direct authority
  • Strong communication across technical and business audiences

Requirements

  • Experience with CloudZero, Apptio, CloudHealth, or similar platforms (nice to have)
  • Showback or chargeback experience (nice to have)
  • Telemetry or unit-cost modeling experience (nice to have)
  • Engineering-vendor utilization and cost-governance experience (nice to have)
  • Prior experience building a new internal capability from scratch (nice to have)

Benefits

  • Competitive salary + equity
  • RRSP matching
  • 3 weeks vacation + 3 personal care days + 1 Culture & Belief day + birthdays off
  • Access to a comprehensive mental health care platform
  • Full benefits from day one of employment
  • Work from home reimbursements
  • Optional global WeWork membership for those who want a change from their home office
  • Robust training and onboarding program
  • Coverage and support of personal development initiatives (conferences, courses, etc)
  • Access to industry-related programmatic courses and certifications to support continuous learning
  • Mentorship opportunities with industry leaders
  • An awesome parental leave policy
  • A friendly, welcoming, and supportive culture
  • Our social and team events!
