The Cloud FinOps Architect is the technical engine of the MSI FinOps team, bridging the gap between high-level financial targets and engineering execution. Unlike traditional financial roles, this position requires a deep engineering background to provide architectural and code-level optimization insights. You will work directly with our FinOps Champions to identify and implement technical changes that drive our $\sim$ $15M annual savings goal. You will also oversee the technical "how" of governance through scripting and automation, ensuring cost-efficiency is baked into the Motorola Solutions software development lifecycle.
Conduct deep-dive architectural reviews of high-spend services to identify inefficiencies.
