FinOps Engineer

At Artlist, we're on a mission to revolutionize the creative industry by providing content creators worldwide with high-quality digital assets — from music and sound effects to footage, templates, and beyond. As a fast-growing, product-led tech company, we are building powerful tools that empower millions of creators to tell their stories through video.

We are now looking for a FinOps Engineer to join our cloud infrastructure team and lead efforts to make our cloud operations smarter, more efficient, and financially accountable.

As a FinOps Engineer at Artlist, you'll bridge the gap between finance and engineering. You'll own strategies and tooling that drive cloud cost optimization, Kubernetes resource efficiency, and cross-team visibility. This role is ideal for someone with a strong DevOps background who has spent at least 1–2 years in a dedicated FinOps role, and thrives in a cloud-native, data-driven environment.

Requirements:

3+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Infrastructure, or Site Reliability roles.
1–2 years of hands-on FinOps experience, including cost optimization and budget governance.
Strong hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes, including cost-efficient configuration and resource tuning.
Solid understanding of cloud billing and pricing models (especially AWS and/or GCP).
Experience implementing cost attribution strategies, tagging policies, and reporting frameworks.
Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform, Helm).
Skilled in scripting and data analysis (Python, MySQL, SnowFlake, etc.).
Excellent communicator who can present technical cost insights to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to Have

Experience with cost monitoring tools (e.g., Kubecost, CAST AI, XIV, Perfect Scale, Finout).
Familiarity with CI/CD and GitOps workflows.
Background in SaaS or high-scale cloud-native environments.
