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
