Cloud cost management is one of the biggest challenges organizations face today. As cloud adoption continues to accelerate, so do the complexities and costs associated with it — and macroeconomic conditions only increase pressure to prove cloud efficiency. That’s why we built CloudZero: a SaaS platform at the intersection of next-generation cloud cost management and FinOps. CloudZero ingests billing and usage data from all cloud, SaaS, and PaaS providers, organizes it in real time according to our customers’ business structures, lets customers view it at any level of time or resource granularity, and ultimately empowers them to make more informed business decisions.
Since our founding in 2016, our mission has been to make efficient innovation a reality for every cloud-driven organization. At CloudZero, we believe every engineering decision is a buying decision, yet the cost conversation often bypasses the engineers who drive those determinations. To solve this, we’ve built a dynamic, single-page application that answers the complex, data-heavy questions every cloud-based organization needs to ask if they want to grow their company profitably.
To date, we’ve raised over $52 million from leading venture capital firms across the country. We’re solving problems of massive scale, business importance, and complexity in a space that needs it more than ever. We’re growing rapidly and would love for you to be a part of it!
Our Platform and Team
Our platform leverages serverless technologies to create a scalable, event-driven architecture. We ingest and normalize millions of events from customer environments in real-time, using tools such as Snowflake, AWS Lambdas and AWS Step Functions to build a flexible, scalable data model that allows our customers to get unparalleled insights into their cloud cost landscape. We are organized into small, tight-knit teams of developers, and using Kanban flow, we collaboratively design, build, validate, ship, and maintain high value customer-facing features.
We're looking for a senior software engineer to join our dynamic team that specializes in gathering billing data from a variety of cloud service providers. You'll be designing and building outbound API calls and transforming large datasets into a structured, normalized format. Think of it as laying the groundwork for the CloudZero platform - since this data is the driving force behind our customers' experience and sets us apart in the market. If you love collaborating with a cross-functional team and tackling large-scale data challenges, this could be the perfect role for you.
Responsibilities
- Design, build and maintain APIs, services, and systems for our platform
- Build to scale as we onboard customers with larger datasets and bigger organizations
- Write readable code that is easy to maintain and extend, with the total cost of ownership at the forefront
- Collaborate with other engineers on your team, along with Product Management, to build features that solve real customer problems
- Help improve our engineering processes and platform to ensure we have a group that can move fast and iterate quickly, giving everyone agency, ownership, and ability to impact the success of the company
Requirements
- You enjoy and have 5+ years of experience building APIs and complex backend systems in the cloud
- You have experience managing and manipulating data at scale
- You have a passion for building and delivering high-quality software; our backend code is all written in Python, so you’ll have to be comfortable with Python
- You are passionate about design patterns and pragmatically applying theory into practice when architecting systems and writing code
- You enjoy working with cross-functional teams, synthesizing feedback and research into a well-polished product
- You are comfortable working 9-5 EST - we have a fair amount of flexibility for people to get their work done whenever works best for them, but our core hours are in the Eastern Timezone
