environments, with potential exposure to multi-cloud platforms such
as AWS or GCP. This role sits within the Data Operations group and
will collaborate closely with Engineering, Infrastructure, and

improvement. Key Responsibilities Monitor and analyze cloud spend
across Azure, Databricks, and Snowflake (if applicable). Build cost

Management, Databricks Billing APIs & Dashboards, Power BI) and
SQL/Python. Develop tagging and cost-allocation frameworks to
support chargeback and forecasting models. Partner with Engineering
and Infrastructure to optimize compute usage, storage tiers, and
licensing. Recommend query tuning, partitioning and caching
strategies to improve performance and reduce cost-per-job on
Databricks. Support monthly budget reviews and identify trends,
anomalies, and optimization opportunities. Manage governance
policies for resource provisioning and cost alerts. Partner with
Information Security to ensure FinOps practices and cost controls
align with SOC2 and HIPAA compliance requirements. Provide insights
into FinOps maturity and recommend process improvements.
Qualifications Required: 5–7 years of experience in FinOps, Data
Operations, Cloud Cost Analysis, or related roles. Hands-on
experience with Azure Cost Management, Databricks, and Windows
infrastructure. Solid analytical and SQL skills; comfort with
scripting in Python or PowerShell. Familiarity with tagging
strategies, cost attribution, and usage-based billing. Strong
understanding of cloud services (compute, storage, networking) and
pricing models. Ability to communicate technical findings to
financial and non-technical audiences. Preferred: Experience in
healthcare data platforms or regulated data environments (HIPAA).
Exposure to Snowflake and data warehouse cost optimization.
Familiarity with Databricks Dashboards or Power BI or Looker for
cost reporting. FinOps Foundation certification or training a plus.
Soft Skills Detail-oriented and data-driven. Proactive in
identifying inefficiencies and suggesting pragmatic solutions.
Comfortable working in a cross-functional, data-intensive
environment. Strong communication and documentation skills. All
qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment
without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national
origin.
