About Us: 

We’re a FinOps platform helping organizations optimize and control cloud spend across AWS and other major cloud providers. Our data-driven approach gives engineering and finance teams full visibility into usage, cost anomalies, and savings opportunities at scale. 

We process hundreds of billions of lines daily, ingesting cloud bills, Kubernetes cluster details, and utilization metrics to derive actionable insights. If you're passionate about building scalable systems that make cloud usage smarter and more cost-efficient, this is the place for you. 

 

About the Role: 

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer with strong experience with Apache Spark, large-scale data processing, data partitioning and cluster performance tuning. You’ll play a key role in scaling our data processing pipelines, optimizing cost-to-performance, and driving architectural decisions for our big data platform. 

You will also mentor a team of engineers and be a technical leader in our mission to help customers take control of their cloud spend.
