About The Role & Team - San Francisco, CA
Amplitude is the leading AI analytics platform, and our ability to invest wisely in infrastructure and SaaS is a key part of how we keep that lead. The FinOps Engineering function sits at the intersection of engineering, finance, and product — owning the data, tooling, and practices that make our cloud and vendor spend both efficient and transparent.
As a Staff FinOps Engineer, you will own the technical backbone that powers Amplitude's cost visibility across major vendors (cloud hosting, observability, AI/ML, and core SaaS), and partner directly with Engineering, Finance, and Product to turn that visibility into real savings and better decisions. This role is both hands-on engineer and program driver: you'll design and build systems, roll up your sleeves to implement optimizations, and lead cross-functional initiatives, reviews, and long-range planning.

The right person thrives in ambiguity, learns new domains quickly, and cares as much about business outcomes as technical elegance.
