## About the role

As an AI-Native Cloud FinOps Engineer , you will build intelligent pipelines and autonomous optimization systems that control our cloud spend across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Shifting from passive financial monitoring to AI-driven, self-optimizing architectures, you will focus heavily on AI/ML compute infrastructure like GPUs and LLM pipelines. You will bridge the gap between deep systems engineering, machine learning, and multi-cloud financial operations to detect waste. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
