CloudZero offers a cloud cost intelligence platform that enables organizations to analyze and manage their cloud expenditures. Backed by Underscore VC.
About the role
CloudZero is hiring Staff and Principal Software Engineers across our engineering organization. We're not filling a single seat. We're building a bench of senior technical talent across every team that makes CloudZero run. If you're the kind of engineer who wants to work on hard problems at real scale, own architecture decisions that matter, and see your work land directly in the hands of customers and operators, there's a place for you here. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Significant experience building and operating production backend systems at scale
- Strong proficiency in Python and/or another backend language, comfort reading and reasoning about systems in languages you didn't write
- Deep familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), distributed systems, and the tradeoffs that come with scale
- Experience with data pipelines, ETL frameworks, or stream processing in production environments
- Strong SQL and hands-on experience with cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or similar)
- You use AI tools in your own data platform work. You can describe your own workflow and the failure modes you've worked around. Strategy-deck AI doesn't qualify, we want hands-on

These roles sit at the intersection of technical depth and product impact. You'll be expected to lead from the front: designing systems, shaping roadmaps, mentoring engineers, and driving decisions that outlast any single sprint. The specific domain depends on where you land, but the bar and the opportunity are consistent across the org.
Agent Platform This team is the spearhead of CloudZero's push into AI cost intelligence. You'll work on the AI telemetry agent that captures what coding agents and AI workloads actually cost at the developer endpoint: token usage, cost per workflow, latency, and where the value goes. You'll design the data model, ship the agent, and work directly with product on what to expose to the customer. macOS first;...
