• Remote-first, trust-based culture. Work from the place that works best for you. No mandatory office days, no attendance trackers. In some locations, we provide offices or coworking spaces, but the choice is yours.
• True flexibility. We do not fix you to a 9-to-5 schedule. You can adjust your working hours when needed, as long as your day stays productive and in sync with the team.
• Extra time off. Your birthday is a holiday here. Add to that 10 personal days each year, seven sick days without paperwork, and extra time to enjoy Christmas and New Year. Time to rest is part of the deal.
• Work that matters. Our mission is to build a digital world that is secure, accessible and inclusive for everyone. From fighting fraud to making online services easier and safer to use, your work will have a real impact on how people experience trust online.
• Compensation. We offer fair and transparent pay, benchmarked to the market.
• Truly global. We work across continents and time zones, with teammates and customers from all over the world. You will run campaigns that cross borders, cultures, and languages, and see your ideas land worldwide.
• Growth built in. Clear goals, open feedback and personal development plans. We support your progress with learning opportunities and by covering role-specific events, from design conferences to marketing forums.
• Team offsites. Sometimes just Slack is not enough. That is why we meet in person a few times a year. Trips are fully covered, so you can meet, collaborate, and recharge together.
• Getting you set up. We make sure you have access to the tools and hardware you need to do your work well.
• Friendly by design. Our logo is a dog for a reason. We keep things human, open and kind. We welcome individuality, quirks and different perspectives, because that is what makes our work smarter and more fun.

• Technical Background: Strong engineering foundation (former System Administrator, DevOps, QA Automation, or Technical Support Engineer) with a passion for data analysis and cloud cost efficiency.
• AWS Cost Expertise: Practical experience with standard AWS cost tracking tools (AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Budgets, Cost and Usage Report (CUR)).
• Cloud Infrastructure Knowledge: Deep understanding of how core AWS services work and scale (EC2, EKS/ECS, RDS, S3, Networking) and how their billing mechanisms operate.
• Analytical Mindset: Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate complex cloud metrics into actionable insights for both technical teams and business stakeholders.
• Data Proficiency: Strong skills in data manipulation and writing custom queries to analyze granular infrastructure spending data.

Nice to have:

• Experience with ClickHouse and dbt (Data Build Tool) for building custom billing pipelines.
• Advanced Data Analysis: Hands-on experience with Amazon Athena and SQL for deep diving into raw AWS Cost and Usage Reports (CUR).
• FinTech Experience: Background in regulated environments (FinTech/SaaS) with an understanding of PCI DSS compliance and strict security boundaries.

• Cost Audit & Investigation: Monitor and analyze monthly AWS billing data, identify cost spikes, anomalies, and architectural inefficiencies, and hold engineering teams accountable for unexpected spend.
• Tagging & Allocation: Develop, enforce, and maintain a strict global resource tagging policy to systematically break down infrastructure costs by environments (Dev/Prod), business units, and specific components.
• Commitment Management: Proactively analyze and manage AWS Savings Plans and Reserved Instances (RIs) to maximize discounts without overcommitting resources.
• Toil Reduction & Right-Sizing: Identify orphaned resources, unused volumes, and idle staging/dev environments to drive optimization initiatives together with the DevOps team.
• Margin & Business Analytics: Collaborate with product and business analysts on a foundational level to map infrastructure hosting costs to product revenue and evaluate long-term product profitability.
