Cost Visibility & Allocation Develop and maintain cost allocation, budgeting, and chargeback models across cloud accounts (AWS, Azure). Implement and enforce tagging and resource hierarchy standards, ensuring >90% coverage for cost-critical tags (e.g., Application, Environment, Cost Center). Build and publish cost visibility dashboards and reports using Power BI, QuickSight, Looker, or other FinOps tooling. Support unified multi-cloud cost reporting and forecasting for engineering and finance teams. Optimization & Engineering Execute rightsizing, scheduling, and lifecycle management of cloud resources across AWS and Azure (EC2, VM, GCE, RDS, S3, Storage, Networking). Manage and optimize Reservations, Savings Plans, Committed Use Discounts (CUDs), and licensing benefits (BYOL, AHB). Implement policy-as-code and governance using tools like Terraform, AWS Config and Azure Policy Organization Policies. Participate in anomaly detection, spend forecasting, and automation of remediation workflows. Contribute to CI/CD pipeline management, infrastructure automation, and GitOps practices using Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, or Google Cloud Build. Operate & Partner Provide actionable insights in monthly cost and performance reviews with engineering and product stakeholders. Partner with Finance and Procurement teams on budgeting, forecasting, and billing validation. Collaborate with SRE and Platform teams to balance cost efficiency, performance, and reliability. Maintain operational hygiene through scripting, compliance audits, and automation. Core Tech Stack Cost & Governance: AWS Cost Explorer, Budgets, and Config; Azure Cost Management + Billing; Billing Reports; FinOps tools such as Apptio Cloudability, CloudHealth, Kubecost, or Harness CCM. Observability & Data: CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Stackdriver, Log Analytics, Power BI, QuickSight, Looker. Infrastructure as Code & Automation: Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep, Deployment Manager, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, Ansible, PowerShell, Python.
