## About the role

As part of our TEE team, you’ll tackle the most challenging technical problems, collaborate directly with Engineering and Product to refine and evolve our platform, and mentor teams worldwide, elevating the technical bar at every level.

## What they're looking for

- Curious and detail-oriented when it comes to how usage is measured, attributed, and billed across products — including usage limits, overages, metering discrepancies, plan entitlements, and customer contract constraints
- Passionate about helping customers optimize their cloud footprint, with a strong grasp of cloud cost drivers, usage attribution, and spend analysis
- Familiar with cloud billing models (AWS, Azure, GCP) — usage types, tags, accounts/projects — and how that data is exposed via APIs and billing exports
- Comfortable digging into data retention, high-cardinality signals, metric volume, log ingestion, and overage prevention, and able to translate telemetry volume into cost impact
- Familiar with APIs, product usage metrics, tagging strategies, and the nuances of account-level configurations and multi-org setups
- Experienced working across technical and business boundaries — equally
