GoKawiilOverview
The spend on public cloud is fast approaching $1 trillion per year - we estimate this boundary will be crossed before the turn of the decade.
Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g. Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK) and platform engineering have fundamentally changed who makes spending decisions. In the past, only a central team provisioned cloud resources. Now every engineer can provision resources as needed; every engineer has become a buyer.
Infracost helps engineers see the cost of their code changes before any money has been spent - we sit in the engineering workflow, show the cost impact, and suggest optimizations. That’s what we mean by “Shift FinOps Left”, and we’ve seen strong pull from engineers who use Infracost in their terminals, CI/CD pipelines and IDEs. The Infracost CLI repo has 12K stars on GitHub! There’s a massive opportunity to help organizations proactively manage their cloud spend; rather than reacting to surprise cost spikes after the fact. We know reactive is too late; we saw that firsthand with our first startup a decade ago, and we’re building Infracost to change that.
About the role
We’re hiring our first Developer Advocate to help more engineers discover and fall in love with Infracost. Your mission is simple: increase signups by showing DevOps, SRE, Platform, and Infrastructure engineers the value of Infracost in the channels and workflows they already use.
You’ll work closely with our Developer Adoption product engineering team, which is focused on DX: CLI, VS Code & JetBrains extensions, MCP server, Copilot integrations…
Timezone
We are fully remote and the ideal timezone for this role is US Eastern time to have overlap with the West Coast and Europe.
