About the Company:
Our client is a rapidly scaling, VC-backed technology company focused on delivering cloud cost optimization and FinOps solutions to enterprises and MSPs operating across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Founded over a decade ago and recently bolstered by strategic acquisitions, the business has made a deliberate shift from bespoke cloud tooling to a productized cloud ROI platform — driven by structured cost data, AI/ML insights, and seamless integrations.
Our client is a proud member of the FinOps Foundation and a key player in emerging BillOps trends. They’re building out a best-in-class engineering function to deliver the next phase of growth — and this role will play a central part.
The Role:
This is an opportunity to be one of the first hires in a newly formed UK/Northern Ireland engineering team, acting as a proof-of-concept hire for a long-term buildout. The immediate need is for a hands-on Senior Backend Developer with strong experience in serverless AWS architecture, Python-based microservices, and distributed systems.
You’ll join a remote-first team that spans across the US, and the UK, collaborating through Slack and working with autonomy and speed. This role is pivotal in shaping the product's backend foundation — particularly for high-scale, data-driven APIs and event-driven infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities:
• Design and develop cloud-native backend services using Python and AWS Lambda
• Build scalable microservices and event-driven systems using SQS, SNS, and EventBridge
• Contribute to API development (REST/GraphQL) and data integration pipelines
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on architecture and system design
• Interface with frontend engineers (Vue.js stack) and data platform engineers (Snowflake, Airflow)
• Help define and implement CI/CD pipelines and observability practices
• Support a feedback-driven culture focused on iterative delivery and continuous improvement
• Communicate technical plans clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Essential Criteria:
• 8–10+ years of software engineering experience, ideally in a SaaS or cloud-first environment
• Strong Python backend development experience
• Deep understanding of AWS serverless tools (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, etc.)
• Experience building distributed systems and event-driven architecture
• Familiarity with GraphQL APIs and scalable API design
• Exposure to cloud observability (tracing, metrics, logging) and DevOps workflows
• Comfortable working in Slack-based, fast-feedback environments
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work across regions
Desirable Experience:
• Experience with time-series data and cost intelligence platforms
• Familiarity with Snowflake, Airflow, DBT, or other data platform technologies
• Background in data-centric product development or FinOps tooling
• Exposure to ML-powered querying, analytics, or optimization
• Experience in scaling microservices across hybrid/multi-cloud environments
Why Join:
• Be one of the first strategic hires in the UK/Northern Ireland for a high-growth cloud optimization platform
• Work directly with the platform architect to shape future technical direction
• Join a well-funded company actively investing in platform engineering and analytics talent
• Influence hiring strategy and help define the structure of a future delivery team in NI
• Collaborate with high-calibre peers across three continents
• Remote-first culture with flexibility and autonomy
• Opportunity for growth into team leadership or architectural influence as the platform scales
