Base pay range:
$59.00/hr - $59.00/hr
Job Summary We are seeking a FinOps Dashboard Developer to design, build, and maintain dashboards that deliver actionable insights on cloud cost, usage, optimization opportunities, and budget/forecast performance. You will bridge raw billing & usage data, engineering, finance, and business stakeholders, making data understandable, timely, and visual.
Key Responsibilities
Ingest, clean, transform, and enrich cloud billing, usage, license, and carbon/sustainability data; integrate with other business data.
Define, implement, and maintain dashboards and visual reports for multiple personas to understand spend, utilization, waste, trends, forecasts, and anomalies.
Work with tagging/metadata strategy to ensure cost allocation is accurate; help ensure tagging compliance and correction logic.
Create forecasts & variance reporting for cloud spend; surface deviations (budgets vs actuals), highlight overspending, identify optimization opportunities.
Build alerting, anomaly detection, and trend monitoring into dashboard/reporting tools.
Enable self‑service reporting where feasible.
Collaborate closely with FinOps practitioners, engineering, finance, procurement, product, and other stakeholders.
Ensure data accuracy, consistency, reliability—manage upstream dependencies.
Implement best practices for performance, scalability, data latency, and maintain documentation of metrics definitions.
Stay current on cloud billing models, FinOps standards, emerging practices in cost transparency and sustainability.

Knowledge of cloud native dashboards (AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, GCP Billing).
Soft skills: strong communication, cross‑functional collaboration, problem‑solving.
Experience ensuring data quality, metadata/versioning, performance tuning, and alerting on data freshness.
Nice‑to‑Haves
Experience with streaming or near‑real‑time data pipelines and data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift).
Familiarity with cloud providers’ cost‑optimization certifications.
Experience embedding sustainability/carbon metrics alongside cost & usage data.
FinOps Foundation certification or FinOps Certified Practitioner.
