What you'll do
- Analyze billing, usage, and cost trends to identify opportunities, rightsizing, storage lifecycle policies, data transfer, and spot/auto-scaling; take ideas from identification through to a realized dollar figure
- Design and run the BigQuery/dbt models that turn raw billing and usage data (CUR, Storage Lens) into reconciled, trustworthy mart tables
- Model unit economics and margin by product line and customer segment, and extend coverage as new products and segments come online
- Build forecasting models, detect anomalies statistically rather than by threshold alone, and quantify savings opportunities
- Build and maintain cost attribution: tagging policies, cost allocation, and chargeback/showback
- Build automated cost reporting, anomaly detection, and alerting; write scripts and infrastructure-as-code (Python, Terraform, Lambda) that enforce cost policy
- Partner with engineering on architecture decisions to bring cost into the room early
- Support Finance with budget tracking and financial KPIs; build dashboards and self-serve analytics
What we're looking for
- Strong AWS expertise and working GCP knowledge, including pricing models, billing structures, and cost optimization mechanics
- Data engineering depth: dbt, BigQuery (or an equivalent modern warehouse), SQL at scale, and data modeling for analytics (dimensional modeling, incremental models, testing)
- Data science fundamentals: statistical forecasting, anomaly detection, and experimentation
- Automation and scripting skills: Python, Terraform/pulumi, Lambda, or Bash
- Comfortable with cost/billing tooling: AWS Cost Explorer, Cost & Usage Reports, GCP Billing Reports, and BI/dashboarding (we use Hex)
- Experience with, or comfortable picking up, Linear and Notion as the system of record for tracking and documenting FinOps work
- Can analyze cost data and present it clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Prior experience spanning data analytics, data engineering, or data science in a FinOps, cloud cost management, or cloud governance context
- Energized by doing the unglamorous, high-leverage work that unblocks other teams, and by working cross-functionally without positional authority
Nice to have
- Experience with a dedicated cloud cost management platform (e.g. CloudZero, Vantage, or similar)
Benefits
- Fully Remote
- WeWork membership or co-working allowance
- ESOP (equity ownership)
- Tech Allowance
- Health Benefits: Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents
