About The Role
In this role you will help organizations across industries take control of their cloud spend by establishing FinOps as a business discipline. You will work within SoftServe’s FinOps practice, delivering structured client engagements that move from cost visibility and savings identification to full governance and operating model implementation.
Responsibilities
Run cloud cost visibility assessments: account hierarchy analysis, environment segmentation, spend baseline, and trend modeling
Execute waste and rightsizing analysis across clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP)
Assess and implement commitment strategies – Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, Spot – and produce phased purchasing calendars with ROI models
Deploy and configure FinOps tooling, close visibility gaps, and hand clients a working cost dashboard before the engagement closes
Produce the engagement’s core deliverables: maturity scorecard, savings report, 90-day action plan, and full assessment readout
Deliver control engagements
Build and operationalize the Unified Cost Model: multi-account consolidation, environment segmentation, and a 12-month forecast model
Implement cost allocation frameworks, showback reports, and chargeback models integrated into client financial reporting
Configure full budget governance: team-level budgets, anomaly detection with automated alerting, and the FinOps review cadence
Requirements
3+ years of hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP (multi-cloud is a strong plus)
2+ years of dedicated FinOps experience: cost allocation, tagging governance, commitment management, showback/chargeback, anomaly detection, and FinOps operating model design
Proven ability to run FinOps engagements end-to-end: from initial assessment and maturity scoring through to implementation and handover
Hands-on experience with cloud cost management tooling: native tools (AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, GCP Billing Console) and third-party platforms (CloudZero, CloudHealth, Kubecost, or similar)
Strong command of cloud pricing models: compute, storage, networking, Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, Committed Use Discounts, and Spot/Preemptible strategies
Experience building cost allocation frameworks, unified cost models, budget governance structures, and forecasting models
Strong communication skills to present findings to Product Owners, CFO, Engineering Managers, and work through implementation details with a DevOps team in the same day
Experience facilitating recurring FinOps reviews and stakeholder governance meetings
English at least upper intermediate level, written and spoken
Certified Practitioner, Certified Engineer, or Certified Professional (will be a plus)
Experience in a consulting or client-facing environment (nice to have)
Familiarity with Kubernetes cost management at the namespace and workload level (optional)
Experience with billing data pipelines (AWS CUR, Azure Cost Export, GCP BigQuery billing export) (desirable)
Knowledge of SaaS spend management and AI/ML workload cost optimization (advantageous)
Knowledge of Terraform (advantageous)
