FinOps Platform Engineer (Team Lead)

As a FinOps Platform Engineer Team Lead, you'll be responsible for building automated, scalable systems that drive cloud cost visibility, optimization, and accountability across our engineering organisation. You will design and implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions, develop automation tooling, and create self-service platforms that embed cost management into our development lifecycle.

Reporting to the Cloud Platform Operations Manager, you'll establish and lead a new FinOps practice within our Cloud Excellence organisation and work closely with Product Engineering squads, SRE teams, Cloud Platform engineers, and Finance to ensure our AWS investments are optimized through automation and engineering best practices.

This is a highly technical, hands-on role that combines deep cloud financial management expertise with platform engineering. You’ll design and build scalable cloud solutions, write production-quality code, and help foster an inclusive, collaborative engineering culture where diverse perspectives and continuous learning are valued..
