You will tackle challenging technical problems, collaborate with Engineering and Product to refine the platform, and mentor teams worldwide.

Responsibilities

  • Become the expert on usage metering, revenue-impacting behavior, and Cloud Cost Management to help customers optimize usage and control spend.
  • Lead escalations involving unexpected usage, missing metering data, usage spikes, billing anomalies, unclear attribution, or limits enforcement.

  • Passionate about helping customers optimize their cloud footprint, with a strong grasp of cloud cost drivers, usage attribution, and spend analysis.
  • Familiar with cloud billing models (AWS, Azure, GCP) and how that data is exposed via APIs and billing exports.
  • Comfortable digging into data retention, high-cardinality signals, metric volume, log ingestion, and overage prevention.
  • Familiar with APIs, product usage metrics, tagging strategies, and account-level configurations.
  • Experienced working across technical and business boundaries.
  • Analytical and precise, able to communicate usage and cost impact clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Comfortable working with ambiguity, data anomalies, and edge cases.
  • Computer Science or Engineering majors (bonus points).
