About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Design and build backend-heavy platform features for the FinOps and AI cost intelligence platform
  • Productionalise AI-enabled capabilities such as anomaly detection, recommendations, and agent-based workflows
  • Implement AI across prototyping, testing, iteration, and deployment
  • Design and build distributed data pipelines processing cloud billing, usage, and AI telemetry
  • Build reliable systems handling backfills, late-arriving data, and historical reprocessing
  • Design scalable data models and APIs powering customer-facing analytics and AI cost insights
  • Collaborate closely with Product to turn vision into shipped features
  • Identify blockers early, communicate clearly, and iterate quickly
  • Shape engineering standards and patterns as the product matures
  • Build AI features with evaluation criteria, feedback loops, and guardrails for accuracy, latency, cost, and explainability
  • Ship at least two production-ready features in the first 6–12 months
  • Establish repeatable AI engineering practices, including evaluation harnesses, rollout strategies, and rollback mechanisms

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 8+ years of professional software engineering experience
