Company mission
To make it so that everyone can contribute. When everyone can contribute, users become contributors and we greatly increase the rate of innovation.
Role
Who you are
- Hands-on experience with cloud cost management in GCP and/or AWS, including billing data, pricing models, and optimization approaches
- Familiarity with, or interest in adopting, the FinOps FOCUS specification for multi-cloud cost analysis
- Experience designing or implementing cloud resource tagging and labeling strategies and improving adoption across teams
- Comfort working across technical and business functions, including Engineering, Finance, and other stakeholders
- Experience with infrastructure as code, including Terraform and Ansible
- Familiarity with observability tooling, including Grafana, and an understanding of how reliability and cost signals can be connected
- Ability to explain technical cost data clearly to non-engineering audiences and support informed decision-making
- A self-directed approach to work, with comfort operating in a fully remote and asynchronous environment
What the job involves
- As a Cloud Cost Utilization SRE at GitLab, you will make cloud spending visible, understandable, and actionable across our infrastructure
- This role sits at the intersection of engineering and financial accountability, where you will partner with Engineering, Finance, and Product to improve how cloud usage is tracked, attributed, and optimized across GitLab
- You will build and improve the systems, standards, and workflows that help teams understand the real cost of the services they run
- That includes developing resource tagging and labeling approaches, improving billing data quality, and creating tooling that supports better decisions across AWS and GCP
- In this role, you will work through technical and organizational ambiguity, connect infrastructure data with business context, and help teams act on cost signals with confidence
- This is a strong fit for someone who enjoys systems thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and building practical solutions in GitLab's all-remote, asynchronous, and values-driven environment
- Some examples of our projects:
- Building cloud billing data pipelines that normalize multi-cloud cost data using the FinOps Open Cost and Usage Specification (FOCUS)
- Improving cloud resource tagging and labeling standards so teams can understand spend by service, environment, and ownership
- Developing cost anomaly detection, forecasting, and alerting workflows that give teams timely insight into infrastructure usage
- Extending observability systems so cost signals can be reviewed alongside reliability and operational data
- Design and maintain cloud resource tagging and labeling strategies across GCP and AWS to support accurate cost attribution
- Develop tooling and pipelines to ingest, normalize, and report on cloud billing data using the FOCUS specification
- Automate cost anomaly detection, forecasting, and alerting so engineering teams can respond quickly to changes in infrastructure spend
- Contribute to GitLab's observability and monitoring stacks, including Prometheus, LGTM (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, and Mimir), and ELK, with a focus on surfacing cost efficiency signals
- Partner with Finance and Engineering leadership to support cloud cost forecasting for planning and budget discussions
- Act as a subject matter expert for cloud cost attribution, tagging strategy, and FOCUS adoption across GitLab Infrastructure
- Collaborate with Finance and Compliance teams on audits, certifications, and financial reporting needs related to cloud infrastructure usage
- Contribute to infrastructure-as-code efforts, including Terraform and Ansible, so cost controls and tagging requirements are built into provisioning workflows from the start
Our take
GitLab is an open-source collaboration platform for developers. It enables teams to build code quickly from anywhere without compromising on security or quality. GitLab already has an estimated 30M+ users from all over the world.
According to a 2021 GitLab report, 60% of developers can release code 2x faster with DevOps platforms that bring teams together and accelerate processes. It stands out by catering to programmers of all experiences. Gitlab's version control system helps streamline the process of creating, maintaining, and deploying code, whoever you are.
GitLab was in the right place to capitalise on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected to grow, and with it, GitLab's popularity. With its successful 2021 IPO and the patronage of major brands such as Nasdaq and Jaguar Land Rover, GitLab is expected to solidify its position as the go-to platform for development teams.
