Key skills for this role
The Cloud FinOps Engineer is an IT and cloud engineering role responsible for enabling cost‑efficient, scalable, and well‑governed cloud usage across BMS’s multi‑cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP). This role applies FinOps principles through technology, automation, and platform design, rather than traditional financial execution.
The engineer works within the Cloud / SRE / Platform organization, embedding cost visibility, optimization, and governance directly into cloud architectures, infrastructure‑as‑code, CI/CD pipelines, and operational workflows. The position focuses on building and operating technical solutions for cost allocation, tagging enforcement, anomaly detection, optimization insights, and reporting—ensuring these capabilities are reliable, scalable, and consumable by engineering and application teams.
The Cloud FinOps Engineer partners closely with SRE, Platform Engineering, Security, Network, Application Owners, and Finance, translating cloud usage and architectural decisions into actionable insights and automated controls that improve efficiency and value realization across BMS.
