- Configure budgets, alerts, views and technical dashboards.
- Monitor tagging compliance and identify unclassified resources.
- Support technical analysis of rightsizing, idle or unused resources, reserved capacity and consumption commitments.
- Correlate consumption changes and optimization recommendations with application architecture, usage, performance and criticality.
- Automate FinOps processes and integrations using APIs, scripting and Infrastructure as Code.
- Implement technical requirements defined by FinOps functional roles and work with FinOps, Cloud and Application teams to turn recommendations into measurable technical actions.
- At least 5 years of experience in Cloud Engineering, Cloud Financial Management, FinOps Engineering or equivalent roles.
- Cloud administration or architecture certification, or equivalent.
- Hands-on experience with Cloud Financial Management / FinOps platforms, including cost and usage data ingestion and processing, tagging and allocation models, budgets, alerts, dashboards, reporting and cloud data-source integration.
- Solid technical knowledge of public cloud environments, multicloud architectures and application workloads.
- Ability to interpret application architectures and technical dependencies and relate usage patterns to associated costs.
- Knowledge of compute, containers, databases, storage, network, PaaS/serverless and observability from a consumption and optimization perspective.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code, scripting, automation and API integration.
- Knowledge of cloud billing and usage data integration, transformation and validation.
