You will play a key role in ensuring Lightedge’s platforms and customer-facing services are cost-effective, reliable, and resilient, while helping bridge financial insight with technical execution. If you are passionate about aligning infrastructure economics with engineering outcomes, this role offers an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a growing, customer-focused organization.

  • Perform advanced analysis on usage, performance, and cost trends to deliver actionable insights and recommendations to customers as well as internal engineering, operations, and finance teams.
  • Partner with AWS/Azure engineers to design, implement, and refine solutions that improve cost efficiency, scalability, and system reliability.
  • Stay current on FinOps frameworks, cloud economics, infrastructure tooling, and industry best practices to continuously improve Lightedge’s cost management strategy.

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in a FinOps, cloud cost optimization, SRE, or infrastructure-focused role.
  • Strong understanding of cloud cost and billing data on AWS and Azure, including detailed usage and cost reporting.
  • Demonstrated analytics experience, including building dashboards and querying large datasets to derive operational and financial insights.
  • Experience working in hybrid environments, including cloud, colocation, and managed infrastructure (preferred).
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a data-driven approach and the ability to balance cost optimization with performance, reliability, and customer commitments.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
