Role Overview
We are looking for a Cloud FinOps Engineer to take ownership of cloud cost optimisation across a large multi-cloud estate built on Azure, AWS and GCP.
This is a hands-on engineering position rather than a reporting one: you will dig into usage data yourself, decide what is worth changing, and implement those changes through automation and infrastructure as code.
The initial focus sits on logging, observability and storage cost drivers - ingestion volumes, routing, retention and tiering - where the savings potential is largest.
Alongside the delivery work, you will help shape tagging and allocation models, define guardrails that stop costs from creeping back, and present your findings and forecasts to senior engineering stakeholders.
Responsibilities:
Identify and prioritise savings opportunities across log ingestion, retention, tiering, sampling and routing, ranking them by return and riskImplement approved changes through automation and IaC, with rollback plans and post-change validationQuery and analyse logging data at scale using cloud native tooling to pinpoint what actually drives spendBuild repeatable automation for logging and storage optimisation across the whole estatePrepare optimisation proposals with projected savings forecasts, clear assumptions and stated impactImprove tagging, labelling and allocation models to make showback and chargeback accurateDefine and maintain cost policies and guardrails: retention standards, workspace quotas, budget alertsRun working sessions with platform and application teams, and produce executive-ready reporting on trends, forecast versus actual and risks
Requirements:
3-5 years in a comparable cloud engineering or FinOps roleHands-on experience with at least two public cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP), including their native logging and monitoring servicesStrong working knowledge of Azure: Log Analytics and Azure Monitor, Diagnostic Settings, Storage Accounts, Event Hub, Sentinel, Azure Policy, Cost ManagementGood grasp of AWS and GCP cost mechanics: CloudWatch Logs, S3 lifecycle, Cost Explorer and CUR; Cloud Logging, Log Router and Sinks, BigQuery, storage lifecycle policies, billing exportsDemonstrated ability to build and deploy automation at scale with Terraform, Python and/or Bash, including CI/CD pipelines such as GitHub Actions or Azure DevOpsPractical command of FinOps principles: cost allocation, showback and chargeback, optimisation levers, cost governance and guardrails in enterprise environmentsTrack record of producing savings forecasts and business cases, and of presenting technical analysis to senior technical stakeholdersComfort operating inside compliance, operational risk and formal change control frameworks
What we offer:
B2B contract.Private medical care, life insurance, and access to Multisport card.Stable, long-term projects with full-time employment.
