We are continually innovating so our customers can deploy advanced and effective tools to protect their companies, communities, and countries. Serving thousands of customers globally, our solutions are playing a crucial role in modernizing digital investigations, helping investigators fight crime, protect assets, and guard national security.
With employees based around the world, Magnet Forensics has been expanding our global presence. As a part of Magnet Forensics, you can expect to make a difference in the world, no matter what role you play. We're seeking a Senior Cloud FinOps Engineer to join the Shared Services Engineering team at Magnet Forensics.
Reporting to the Director of the Shared Services group, you'll enable cloud and AI cost visibility, forecasting, and optimization across our AWS, Azure, and AI environments, and build the tooling and processes that give engineering and finance teams the data they need to make good decisions. You will analyze, but you'll also automate those analyses, make concrete engineering recommendations, and leverage AI to operate more efficiently and effectively. You'll operate with significant autonomy and have real influence over how we manage and optimize a material cloud investment.
This role is a great fit if you're motivated by turning complexity into clarity, enjoy building tooling to eliminate manual processes, and want your work to have direct and measurable business impact. The interview process will include technical elements covering cloud architecture, writing code (tool-level scripting), and cloud cost analysis.
Own cloud cost visibility across AWS and Azure: maintain tagging hygiene, virtual cost allocation, and the tooling (Finout and related) that surfaces accurate spend by product, team,
and workload; Automate workflows for routine activities like bill reconciliation and payment; Evolve unit economics frameworks: instrument the pipeline that collects product telemetry, routes it to cost allocation tooling, and produces dashboards that show cost-per-unit across relevant dimensions; Make recommendations for Savings Plans and Reserved Instances across AWS services (EC2, RDS, OpenSearch, and others), and track realized savings; 2+ years of industry experience with meaningful depth in cloud cost management, Financial Operations ("FinOps"), or cloud platform engineering with a strong cost focus; ~ Hands-on experience with AWS cost and billing: understands the structure of AWS invoices, Cost Explorer, Cost and Usage Reports (CUR), and how tagging strategies affect cost allocation accuracy; ~ Experience with Azure cost management is also an asset; ~ Familiarity with AI cost concepts ~ Builds tooling that automates financial and/or analysis workflows — not just monitored or maintained dashboards someone else built; ~ Works with a FinOps platform (Finout, Apptio Cloudability, CloudHealth, or similar) beyond basic reporting: understands virtual tagging, allocation rules, and how to get accurate per-product cost visibility from messy shared infrastructure; ~ Python, Bash, or equivalent; ~ Leverages AI to responsibly accelerate analysis and tooling creation; ~ Communicates clearly across technical and financial audiences:
can explain cost drivers to an engineer and budget variances to a finance partner without losing either audience; ~ Brings a continuous improvement mindset: identifies toil, proposes fixes, and follows through — takes ownership with minimal direction. ~ Generous time off policies - Healthcare and retirement benefits At Magnet Forensics, we take a hybrid-flexible approach to support your productivity and work-life balance. If you’re within a comfortable travel distance to one of our offices, you’ll occasionally join us in person. These in-person moments help us build stronger connections, spark current ideas, and celebrate our successes together.
We’re excited to welcome you to our team and look forward to achieving great things together - both in the office and wherever you work best!
