About the Role:
Responsibilities:
- Cloud Cost Optimization: Design and implement strategies to reduce operational costs across GCP, AWS, Firebase, and managed services like MongoDB Atlas and Elastic.co
- Cost Observability: Build and maintain cost dashboards (using DoiT, GCP BigQuery, AWS Cost Explorer, etc.) to track spend across cloud providers and services at the product, team, and project level
- CPO Analysis: Define and maintain Cost per Operation (CPO) metrics per product/service; collaborate with product owners to align infra cost with revenue generation
- Multi-Cloud Governance: Set up policies, guardrails, budgets, and alerts to prevent cost overruns and enforce efficient resource usage across Kubernetes clusters and cloud services
- Automation & Tooling: Develop automation scripts (using Python, Bash, or Terraform) to detect idle resources, right-size workloads, and enforce tagging strategies
- Billing Analysis: Break down cloud bills by team, sub_team, project, and service using label-based and usage-based filtering; provide actionable insights and recommendations
- Collaboration: Partner with finance, DevOps, platform, and product teams to tie infrastructure cost back to product growth and engineering impact
- Cloud Architecture: Provide guidance on designing cost-efficient cloud-native systems and help teams adopt best practices for storage, compute, and networking usage
Requirements:
- Experience: 7+ years in Cloud Engineering roles with a focus on cost optimization
- Cloud Expertise: Deep hands-on experience with GCP (BigQuery, GKE, Firebase, Pub/Sub), AWS (EC2, S3, Lambda, EKS), and managed services like MongoDB Atlas, Elastic.co, ClickHouse
- Cost Tools: Strong working knowledge of DoiT Cloud Analytics, GCP Billing Export, AWS CUR (Cost & Usage Reports), and BigQuery
- Scripting & Automation: Proficient in Python, Bash, and automation frameworks for cost cleanup and reporting
- Data-Driven: Comfortable querying and visualizing cloud billing data to derive unit economics (e.g., cost per user, per API call, per deployment)
- Kubernetes Knowledge: Familiar with cost management in Kubernetes (e.g., node cost allocation, workload optimization, spot/preemptible usage)
- Communication: Ability to translate complex cost insights into actionable plans for engineering and business stakeholders
