2 weeks ago


Calgary, Alberta, Canada Targeted Talent Full time

The Team / Client

You will be part of a engineering department responsible for diving the global commercial availability. This is a technical, multi-cloud environment, seeing thousands of changes a week.

The team focuses on empowering engineering teams to manage their cloud cost footprint, as well as building and implementing solutions to help drive cost efficiencies, all without impacting team autonomy or speed of delivery.

The Opportunity

This role is focused on helping our client optimize cost, using automation of tooling and data to create cost awareness and visibility within teams - without risking reliability or customer experience. As such, they are looking to hire an experienced senior engineer to help anchor and grow the team, whilst being hands-on in a multi-faceted delivery environment..

The majority of their spend is currently in AWS, the balance in GCP. In many ways, they are still in the early stages of their FinOps journey, with loads of opportunities to reduce waste and increase cost efficiencies, helping to keep our people and money focused on delighting our customers.

What will you need?
  • Detailed knowledge of, and experience with, a wide range of AWS services
  • Hands-on experience with automation, infrastructure-as-code, and CI / CD
  • To be comfortable in a multi-team environment, and familiar with pull-request workflows & etiquette
  • Be a self-starter, whether that's coming up with new ideas, developing organizational and technical knowledge, or improving existing processes and solutions
  • Be experienced in automation scripting (ideally Python but we're open to other experience too)
Added benefit if you have:
  • Hands-on experience with test automation
  • Implemented cost-savings solutions before
  • Hands-on experience with building software in languages such as C# or Java
  • Previously held a role requiring hands-on technical leadership

Key responsibilities:

  • Building solutions to help drive cost efficiency
  • Building, and contributing to, automated tooling to manage waste
  • Making teams aware of potential cost-savings actions via monitoring and alerting
  • Contributing to the development of their FinOps roadmap and product backlog, and comfortable with solution design and architecture
  • Enhancing the use of their cost management tools e.g. dashboard enhancements, API integration
  • Identify and remediate billing anomalies
  • Assessing new-vs-current tools & tech for cost saving purposes
  • Advising teams on where and how to be cost efficient, as well as making it easier for them to adopt improvements
