What You'll Do

Cloud Cost Management and Analysis – You will use data science environments, console and automation to monitor cost and usage trends identifying opportunities for cost savings.  You will leverage KPI’s to trend these opportunities and drive strategic reactions horizontally across the SaaS product lines and with executive management.  Cloud Cost Optimization – You will have a deep horizontal understanding of cloud capacity architecture topologies and their dependencies. You will focus this expertise on driving cloud cost engineering improvements in the services you engage with, translating base capacity “components” (block storage, AMD/Intel compute core, Database instances, networking stacks) into business run rate value.  This role will be key in crafting detailed technical cloud cost models, development of strategies for cost optimization (resource right-sizing, reserved instance management, platform transition recommendations), and assurance top down that cloud infrastructure deployment plans are cost-effective and aligned with business objectives.  Cloud Automation – You will have a clear understanding of automation and orchestration principles, and will be eager to drive automation while simultaneously eliminating technical debt. The automation will support “Cost of Cloud” objectives, targeting reduction of technical deployment overlap, decommission efficiencies, and development of AI agentry and intelligence to spot cost defects or trends that are not optimal. These initiatives will be developed “up” to KPI’s that will help guide run the business, and inform strategic shifts in products horizontally in SaaS.  Cross-team collaboration – This role will engage with and present to a wide variety of audiences, ranging from individual contributors and teams to executive leadership. A comfort with this and an executive presence is required, as this is a senior role and a trusted advisor to numerous SaaS organizations.
