Establish governance, review cadences, and cost-aware engineering practices

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)
