Boston, Massachusetts, United States CloudZero Full time

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 empowers cloud business optimization.

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. In 2023 and 2024 we won the New England VC "Hottest Start-Up" award and "Boston's Best Places to Work" List. We are growing rapidly and would love for you to be a part of it

About the Role:

As we continue to grow quickly, we're looking to add a talented and experienced staff software engineer to an existing product development team. This team is charged with ensuring that CloudZero is the leader in quickly bringing in cost data on behalf of our customers. This team acts as experts regarding how our customers use third-party SaaS and PaaS tools, and builds features on our platform to make it easy to bring our customers' cost data in and combine it with our differentiated cost data model. This includes the "Big 3" cloud service providers of AWS, GCP, and Azure, along with a number of others such as Datadog, Databricks, New Relic, MongoDB, and Snowflake.

Our product teams are staffed with five engineers, with support from a product manager, an engineering manager, and a product designer. We are looking for a staff engineer to serve as the engine of one of our teams, helping define how to reach our end goals, breaking down strategic objectives into work for the team, and then assisting the team in building high-quality software to delight our end users.

You will:

  • Design, build, and maintain APIs, services, and systems for our cloud platform
  • Build features that can scale as we bring in customers with large and complex datasets
  • Write readable code that is easy to test, maintain, and extend
  • Participate in product discovery sessions to research and deeply understand real user problems, landing on the best way to solve them and decomposing the work for the team
  • Actively mentor and set an example as a leader on the team, to expand the capabilities of your team members
  • Collaborate with other engineers, product managers, and product designers on your team to build features that solve real customer problems
  • Help improve our engineering processes to ensure we have a team that can move fast and iterate quickly, giving everyone agency, ownership, and the ability to impact the broader success of the company

Requirements

  • You have a passion for building and delivering high-quality software, with 12+ years of experience building APIs and complex backend systems in the cloud (AWS preferred)
  • You have a proven track record of making company-wide impacts - our staff level engineers are expected to be leaders and influencers across the Engineering team
  • You are proud of your track record and enjoy developing engineering talent through mentorship and leadership
  • You are proficient in Python, our backend language of choice
  • You have worked at early or growth stage SaaS startups and know how to be successful in those fast-paced environments
  • You have experience managing and manipulating data at scale
  • You are passionate about design patterns and can pragmatically apply theory into practice when architecting systems and code
  • You enjoy working with cross-functional teams, synthesizing feedback and research into a well polished product for the end user
  • You are comfortable working 9-5 Eastern time - we have a fair amount of flexibility for people to get their work done whenever works for them, but our core hours are in the Eastern time zone
  • You have strong communication skills and are personable, approachable, professional, and inclusive

Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the United States. We cannot sponsor or take over the sponsorship of an Employment Visa.
