FinOps Engineer at Supabase to drive cloud cost optimization and financial governance across AWS and GCP infrastructure. The role requires building automation, cost attribution tooling, and partnering cross-functionally with engineering and finance teams.

Remote scope
Worldwide remote work without geographic, timezone, residence, or work-authorization restriction

What you need

  • Strong AWS expertise including pricing models, billing structures, and cost optimization mechanics
  • Automation and scripting skills: Python, Terraform/Pulumi, Lambda, or Bash
  • Experience with cloud cost/billing tooling: AWS Cost Explorer, Cost & Usage Reports, GCP Billing Reports, and BI/dashboarding (Hex)
  • Experience analyzing cost data and presenting it clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Prior experience in a FinOps, cloud cost management, or cloud governance role
  • Comfort working cross-functionally without positional authority and doing high-leverage operational work

What you will own

  • Find and ship savings across AWS and GCP: analyze billing, usage, and cost trends to identify opportunities in rightsizing, storage lifecycle policies, data transfer, and spot/auto-scaling; take ideas from identification through to a realized dollar figure
  • Build and maintain cost attribution: tagging policies, cost allocation, and chargeback/showback so engineering teams can see and own their own spend
  • Automate cost governance: build automated cost reporting, anomaly detection, and alerting; write scripts and infrastructure-as-code (Python, Terraform, Lambda) that enforce cost policy
  • Partner with engineering on architecture decisions to bring cost-efficiencies into design early
  • Work with Finance on forecasting and reporting: support budget tracking and financial KPIs; build dashboards engineering and finance can both read

Role brief

About Supabase

Supabase is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.

About the Role

We're looking for a FinOps Engineer to help drive cost optimization and cloud financial governance across our AWS infrastructure and GCP footprint. You'll work cross-functionally with Engineering, Finance, and Product to find and ship savings, build the tooling necessary to maximize efficiency of every dollar spent in the cloud, and cultivate a culture of cost awareness across engineering teams.

This is a hands-on engineering role, not an analyst seat. You'll do the schlep work other teams don't have time for, digging into a bucket's access pattern, writing the Terraform or Lambda that ships the fix, working on a product feature chasing a number until it reconciles, and influencing product decisions when cost to reliability tradeoffs hit. Strong communication matters as much as technical depth, you'll regularly explain a savings case to an engineering team, a finance stakeholder, and a leadership audience in the same week.

What You'll Be Responsible For

In this role, you'll:

  • Find and ship savings across AWS and GCP: Analyze billing, usage, and cost trends to identify opportunities, rightsizing, storage lifecycle policies, data transfer, and spot/auto-scaling. Take ideas from identification through to a realized dollar figure, not just a recommendation.

  • Build and maintain cost attribution: Tagging policies, cost allocation, and chargeback/showback so engineering teams can see and own their own spend. This is foundational work other savings work depends on.

  • Automate cost governance: Build automated cost reporting, anomaly detection, and alerting. Write the scripts and infrastructure-as-code (Python, Terraform, Lambda) that enforce cost policy rather than relying on manual review.

  • Partner with engineering on architecture decisions: Bring cost into the room early, cost-efficiencies are cheaper to get right at design than to retrofit.

  • Work with Finance on forecasting and reporting: Support budget tracking and financial KPIs; build dashboards engineering and finance can both read.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You

  • Have strong AWS expertise and working GCP knowledge, including pricing models, billing structures, and cost optimization mechanics.

  • Have automation and scripting skills: Python, Terraform/ pulumi, Lambda, or Bash

  • Are comfortable with cost/billing tooling: AWS Cost Explorer, Cost & Usage Reports, GCP Billing Reports, and BI/dashboarding (we use Hex).

  • Have experience with, or are comfortable picking up, Linear and Notion as the system of record for tracking and documenting FinOps work.

  • Experience with a dedicated cloud cost management platform (e.g. CloudZero, Vantage, or similar) is a plus, not required.

  • Can analyze cost data and present it clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Have prior experience in a FinOps, cloud cost management, or cloud governance role.

  • Are energized by doing the unglamorous, high-leverage work (the schlep) that unblocks other teams, and by working cross-functionally without positional authority.

What We Offer

  • Fully Remote

    We hire globally. We believe you can do your best work from anywhere. There are no Supabase offices, but we provide a WeWork membership or co-working allowance you can use anywhere in the world.

  • ESOP

    Every team member receives ESOP (equity ownership) in the company. We want everyone to share in the upside of what we’re building together.

  • Tech Allowance

    Use this budget to set up your ideal work environment—laptop, monitor, headphones, or whatever helps you do your best work.

  • Health Benefits

    Supabase covers 100% of health insurance for employees and 80% for dependents, wherever you are. Your wellbeing and your family’s health are important to us.

  • Annual Off-Sites

    We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time. You know what needs to be done and when.

  • Professional Development

    Every team member receives an annual education allowance to spend on learning—courses, books, conferences, or anything that supports your growth.
