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.

• 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.
