FinOps Technical SME

At Mindbox we connect top IT talents with technology projects for leading enterprises across Europe. 

 

Join our client’s team, where you’ll play a key role in shaping cloud cost governance and optimisation across a multi-cloud enterprise environment at one of the world’s leading global financial institutions. Your contribution will help deliver high-impact solutions in cloud engineering – FinOps at enterprise scale, across Azure, AWS, and GCP.

 

You’ll step in as a FinOps Technical SME, working closely with engineers, product owners, platform teams, and finance stakeholders to improve cost transparency, enforce governance, and deliver measurable savings across cloud workloads. Your role will be central to combining strong analytics, cloud platform expertise, and automation capability to drive real efficiency – not just execution.

Sounds like your kind of challenge?

What you’ll be doing

  • Identifying cost drivers and implementing improvements across Azure/AWS/GCP: rightsizing, scheduling, tier optimisation, and commitment planning, with clear tracking of outcomes and savings
  • Optimising spend for containerised workloads (AKS/Kubernetes) through cluster sizing, autoscaling, node pool strategies, workload scheduling, and non-prod environment controls
  • Building and maintaining reusable Terraform modules that embed landing zone standards: tagging, cost allocation, policy compliance, and guardrails
  • Implementing and operating cloud governance patterns to prevent resource sprawl and improve allocation accuracy (tagging/metadata standards, policy-as-code, compliant baselines)
  • Automating optimisation and operational controls via PowerShell/Bash, pipelines, and configuration standards in line with DevSecOps ways of working
  • Supporting forecasting and variance analysis by translating platform consumption data into actionable engineering and financial decisions; producing clear stakeholder narratives
  • Aligning closely with platform teams, delivery squads, and finance partners on cost targets, operational requirements, and technical constraints
  • Translating business needs into scalable, production-grade cloud architectures, balancing performance, resilience, and cost efficiency

Note: Detailed project information will be shared during the recruitment process.

  • Flexible cooperation model – choose the form that suits you best
    (B2B, employment contract, etc.)

Who we’re looking for

  • 5+ years of progressive experience as a Senior Cloud / Cloud DevOps Engineer, including Azure solution architecture
  • Strong working knowledge of Azure (core services, identity, networking, governance) and solid understanding of AWS and GCP cost drivers and pricing mechanics
  • Hands-on experience designing and operating Kubernetes platforms in production (AKS/GKE)
  • Strong Terraform skills: modular design, reusable components, CI/CD integration, governance-in-code
  • Practical understanding of FinOps principles: cost allocation, showback/chargeback, optimisation levers, and cost governance
  • Automation capability: PowerShell/Bash scripting, configuration management, DevSecOps delivery models
  • Data skills for cost/usage analysis including SQL; ability to turn consumption data into actionable insight
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management across engineering and financial audiences

Nice to have:
