Project Description

We're building a FinOps program with our client, and need a capable Data/FinOps engineer to own the tooling that makes it real. Your role will be to make it real: building durable, automated pipelines and reporting for our cloud spend, with a path toward AI-enabled cost analysis.

Technologies

• SQL (ETL/ELT)
• AWS
• Athena
• Glue
• S3
• IAM
• BI/reporting (QuickSight or comparable)

What You'll Do

• Build and own automated data pipelines that ingest AWS cost and usage data into a quarriable analytics layer;
• Athena-enable our cost data - land it in S3, catalog with Glue, keep it performant and reliable at scale;
• Model the data with consistent dimensions (project, product, service, hosting area, cost center) so it stays reusable as the program grows to cover colocation and fixed assets;
• Automate tagging governance by auditing tag coherence and policy compliance, surfacing drift, producing remediation-ready reporting;
• Build reporting for multiple audiences and scopes from team-level detail to executive rollups;
• Deliver templated, parameterized self-service reports so Finance can pull what they need without touching Cost Explorer or the AWS console;
• Support the AWS Cloud Financial Management assessment and operationalize its outputs;
• Help AI-enable our cost data so we can explore spend and optimization directly in Claude;

Job Requirements

• 4-7 years of experience in Data Engineering, DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure roles;
• Strong SQL skills with hands-on experience designing, building, and maintaining ETL/ELT data pipelines;
• Practical AWS expertise, including Cost & Usage Reports, Athena, Glue, S3, IAM, and familiarity with AWS Cost Explorer;
• Experience with IaC using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation;
• Proficiency in Python for automation, scripting, and data processing;
• Strong data modeling skills, with the ability to design scalable, reusable data models rather than report-specific solutions;
• Experience with BI and reporting tools, such as Amazon QuickSight or similar platforms (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Looker);
• Automation-first mindset, with a focus on building reliable, repeatable processes instead of manual workflows;
• Understanding of finance fundamentals, including CAPEX vs. OPEX, budgeting cycles, and cost allocation methodologies;
• Comfortable leveraging AI/LLM tools to improve productivity and workflows; experience with Claude is a strong advantage;
• Readiness to participate in PagerDuty rotation (on-demand 2-4 months);

Nice to Have

• FinOps Foundation certification;
• AWS certifications;
• CUDOS / Cloud Intelligence Dashboards;
• Colocation or fixed-asset cost/asset exposure;
• Ad-tech or high-volume infrastructure background;
