This role will work closely with the FinOps Manager and CloudOps team. We are looking for someone who takes ownership of outcomes, not just tasks. This role needs a self-starter who drives cost initiatives to closure with minimal hand-holding, flags issues before they are asked to, follows up without being chased, and treats savings targets as something they are personally accountable for.\n\nPrincipal Responsibilities:\nOwn the end-to-end validation of cost optimization opportunities (rightsizing, idle resource clean-up, storage optimization), not just flagging them, but following through to closure.\nAct as the technical liaison with engineering/tech teams when recommendations are challenged or denied, bringing data-backed validation and alternative options rather than escalating every pushback upward.\nIndependently prepare and distribute regular cloud cost and usage reports, proactively surfacing anomalies or trends rather than waiting to be asked.\nDrive daily follow-up on open optimization opportunities - ownership means nothing sits stale in a tracker; you chase it until it is implemented.\nExecute optimizations directly: rightsizing, terminating idle resources, scheduling non-prod resources, applying storage lifecycle policies.\nMaintain FinOps hygiene - tagging governance, anomaly detection, budget adherence - as an ongoing discipline, not a periodic task.\nKeep a clear, self-maintained progress tracker on savings initiatives and proactively update leadership without being chased for status.\nMonitor usage trends across cloud providers (including GCP, if multi-cloud) to catch new/unexpected usage early rather than after it hits the bill.\nSupport RI/Savings Plan lifecycle management - tracking expirations, recommending renewals or exchanges, and coordinating sign-off with relevant stakeholders (e.g., DBA, engineering).\nContribute to monthly/quarterly cost forecasting and variance analysis (actuals vs. budget/forecast).\n\nPosition Requirements:\n4-6 years in cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred).\nSolid understanding of AWS services (EC2, EBS, S3, RDS, etc.) and their cost drivers.\nDemonstrated ownership mindset - someone who takes an opportunity from identification to closure without needing to be reminded.\nFamiliarity with savings instruments such as RIs and Savings Plans.\nExposure to FinOps principles and frameworks (e.g., FinOps Foundation).\nHands-on experience with AWS Cost Explorer, CUR, and reporting/monitoring tools (Athena, QuickSight, or equivalent third-party tools).\nStrong communication and follow-up discipline - able to coordinate with tech teams and push initiatives to execution, not just raise them.\nAbility to analyze reports and translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations.\nScripting ability (Python or SQL) for automation of reporting/optimization tasks - mandatory, at least one.\n\nPreferred Skills:\nProven track record of operating independently with minimal supervision - this role requires someone who proactively drives initiatives forward, not someone who waits for direction.\nPrior experience owning a cost-optimization book of work end-to-end (not just execution of assigned tasks).\nExposure to multi-cloud environments (GCP, Azure) beyond AWS.\nFamiliarity with tracking cost/usage for AI tooling or token-based consumption models - a plus.\nSkills\nAWS, Amazon Web Services, FinOps, Python, SQL","description_format":"text","description_chars":3443,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Procurement & Spend Management"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T00:35:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T02:15:41Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/jaggaer-finops-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/jaggaer-finops-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T02:15:41Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4757,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":58631},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=58631"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fjaggaer-finops-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fjaggaer-finops-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fjaggaer-finops-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/jaggaer-finops-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fjaggaer-finops-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4210230}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"jaggaer.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4210230},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
