FinOps Engineer – GCP Cost Engineering | Remote

FinOps Engineer – GCP Cost Engineering | Remote

• Turn cloud spend into a strategic advantage for a globally scaled platform
• Where infrastructure knowledge meets financial impact
• Remote first, real ownership, genuine scope to grow

Most companies know they're overspending on cloud. Few have someone who can actually fix it.

This is the role that changes that. A scaled global platform running on GCP is looking for a FinOps Engineer who combines deep infrastructure knowledge with genuine financial engineering ability, someone who can look at cloud consumption and see not just what it costs, but why, and exactly what to do about it.

You will go beyond visibility. Yes, you will build the dashboards, the tagging frameworks, the budget alerts and the monthly cost reviews. But the real work is in the automation that prevents waste before it accumulates, the committed use strategy that locks in savings at scale, and the forecasting models that give Finance and engineering leadership a shared, trusted view of where spend is going and why.

This is an embedded role sitting within SRE, but operating across Product Engineering and Finance daily. You will be the person who builds the bridge between infrastructure decisions and their financial consequences, and who makes cost fluency a genuine part of engineering culture rather than a quarterly reminder.

If you have delivered real savings at real scale and you want a role where that experience is central, not peripheral, this is it.

The Role:

• Architect and own cloud cost visibility and intelligence across
• GCP Build and enforce a resource tagging and labelling framework across all projects
• Drive discount strategy and continuous right-sizing across compute, containers, databases and storage
• Automate waste identification and elimination through Cloud Functions and scripting
• Develop rolling 12–18 month cost forecasts anchored to business growth drivers
• Own variance analysis at monthly close and partner with Finance on accruals and planning
• Run a monthly Cloud Cost Review with engineering leads and budget owners
• Embed FinOps thinking across engineering teams through education, runbooks and shared standards

Skills/Experience:

• Solid SRE or DevOps background with production GCP or AWS experience
• A FinOps track record you can point to real numbers, real savings, real scale
• Hands-on optimisation experience across the full infrastructure stack
• Strong Python skills and an instinct for automation
• Comfortable presenting to and influencing both engineering and finance audiences
• FinOps Certified Practitioner or Analyst a plus

What's on Offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits
• Enhanced annual leave plus dedicated wellbeing days each year
• Paid family leave for maternity, paternity, surrogacy and adoption is covered
• Remote first with optional office hub access
• Real investment in learning and development with a clear path to grow
