About The Role & Team - San Francisco, CA
Amplitude is the leading AI analytics platform, and our ability to invest wisely in infrastructure and SaaS is a key part of how we keep that lead. The FinOps Engineering function sits at the intersection of engineering, finance, and product — owning the data, tooling, and practices that make our cloud and vendor spend both efficient and transparent.
As a Staff FinOps Engineer, you will own the technical backbone that powers Amplitude's cost visibility across major vendors (cloud hosting, observability, AI/ML, and core SaaS), and partner directly with Engineering, Finance, and Product to turn that visibility into real savings and better decisions. This role is both hands-on engineer and program driver: you'll design and build systems, roll up your sleeves to implement optimizations, and lead cross-functional initiatives, reviews, and long-range planning.
You'll be a small, high-impact team of one with a large surface area, partnering closely with leaders across Engineering, Platform, Finance, and Product — from building cost data pipelines and reporting, to defining cost guardrails for new architectures, to helping forecast the impact of product and infrastructure bets, and handling all Engineering vendor negotiations, licensing, and contracts. The right person thrives in ambiguity, learns new domains quickly, and cares as much about business outcomes as technical elegance.
