Software Engineering
Boston, MA, USA
Posted on Mar 5, 2025

CloudZero is a leading cloud cost management company, and our SaaS platform excels at driving profitable innovation in some of the best engineering organizations in the world. We achieve those results with the CloudZero platform, which can ingest more data than our competitors and organize it to allow savings across any fast-moving organization.

We are seeking a talented & experienced backend engineer to help build out an exciting new piece of platform technology. This project will help customers connect their Kubernetes metrics natively from their observability platform of choice. You’ll help us build out a framework to pull in metrics from the customer’s observability vendor to allow them to get deep insight into what is driving their Kubernetes cluster spending.

You Will:

  • Be responsible for building out a backend that can query leading observability solutions (New Relic, Datadog, and more.)
  • Create a data pipeline to transform that data into CloudZero's proprietary internal data layout.
  • Prototype quickly to test out various technical approaches to these problems.
  • Work closely with our Product Management team to understand what outcomes this feature should drive.
  • Bring other engineers on board to the project as technical approaches show merit.
  • At least 2 years of experience with Python
  • At least 8 years of experience building backend systems for a B2B SaaSSasS company.
  • Experience and proficiency building on AWS, preferably with good experience with AWS Lambda
  • Experience programmatically retrieving data from top observability solutions in the market (Datadog or New Relic preferred)
  • Proficiency with Kubernetes constructs

About CloudZero:
Cloud cost management is one of the biggest challenges organizations face today. As cloud adoption accelerates, so do the complexities and associated costs - and macroeconomic conditions only increase pressure to prove cloud efficiency. That’s why we built CloudZero: a SaaS platform at the intersection of next-generation cloud cost management and FinOps. CloudZero ingests billing and usage data from all cloud, SaaS, and PaaS providers, organizes it in real-time according to our customers’ business structures, lets customers view it at any level of time or resource granularity, and ultimately empowers them to make more informed business decisions.

Since our founding in 2016, our mission has been to make efficient innovation a reality for every cloud-driven organization. At CloudZero, we believe every engineering decision is a buying decision, yet the cost conversation often bypasses the engineers who drive those determinations. To solve this, we’ve built a dynamic, single-page application that answers the complex, data-heavy questions every cloud-based organization needs to ask if they want to grow their company profitably.

To date, we’ve raised over from leading venture capital firms nationwide. We’re solving problems of massive scale, business importance, and complexity in a space that needs it more than ever. We’re growing rapidly and would love for you to be a part of it.

Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the United States. We cannot sponsor or take over the sponsorship of an Employment Visa at this time.
