Job Description:

Role 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 be the bridge between raw billing & usage data, engineering, finance, and business stakeholders-making data understandable, timely, and visual.
• Your work will enable cross-team visibility, help track key FinOps metrics, highlight anomalies, support forecasting, and drive cost / performance trade-offs.
• You'll help elevate the organization's FinOps practice maturity by delivering self-service, rich visualizations and reporting tools.

Key Responsibilities

• Ingest, clean, transform, and enrich cloud billing, usage, license, and carbon/sustainability data; integrate with other business data (e.g. finance, engineering) as needed.
• Define, implement, and maintain dashboards and visual reports for multiple personas (e.g. engineering, finance, product, leadership) to understand cloud 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 (rightsizing, savings plans / reserved instances, idle resources).
• Build alerting, anomaly detection, and trend monitoring into dashboard/reporting tools.
• Enable self-service reporting where feasible-so teams can slice & dice cost/usage data relevant to them.
• Collaborate closely with FinOps practitioners, engineering (cloud architects, platform teams), finance, procurement, product, and other stakeholders to understand their reporting needs and use cases.
• Ensure data accuracy, consistency, reliability-manage upstream dependencies (cloud providers, usage APIs, billing exports, etc.).
• Implement best practices for performance of dashboards, scalability, data latency, and maintain documentation of metrics definitions.
• Stay current on cloud billing models, FinOps standards (e.g. FOCUS data spec), emerging practices in cost transparency and cloud sustainability.
• FinOps Foundation+2FinOps Foundation+2

Desired Skills & Qualifications Category

• Must-Haves Nice-to-Haves Technical / Tooling Experience with business intelligence / visualization tools (Tableau, Looker, Power BI, Grafana, etc.)

• Cost transparency: % of cloud spend covered by accurate tagging / metadata enabling cost allocation.
• Forecast accuracy: variance between forecasted vs actual cloud spend.
• Anomaly detection responsiveness: number and severity of cost anomalies flagged and remediated.
• Time to insight: how long it takes from data availability (e.g. billing export) to dashboards being updated.
• Efficiency gains: reductions in engineering or finance effort for ad hoc cost/usage analyses thanks to dashboards / self-service.
