Role Overview

The Staff/Lead Cloud Engineer - Azure FinOps is the FinOps subject-matter expert embedded with Product and Engineering. You own how Azure billing actually works across every commercial construct Microsoft sells through — and how cost gets allocated, recovered, and reduced on top of it.

Someone who has only rightsized VMs has not done this job. We need someone who has stood inside these billing models, reconciled them against invoices, and built showback and chargeback a finance team accepted.
