Sportradar, a global sports technology company serving 1,700+ sports federations, media outlets, and betting operators across 120 countries, is seeking a Senior FinOps Engineer to own cloud financial operations and cost management across a multi-million-euro AWS estate.
In this role, you will act as the operational anchor for cloud cost management, sitting at the intersection of engineering, finance, and platform teams. You will translate complex cloud usage and billing data into actionable insights and drive accountability for cost across the organization.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own cloud cost visibility end-to-end: maintain and improve tagging, allocation, and showback so spend is accurately attributed to teams, products, and services
- Drive rate optimization across the estate through commitment management, Reserved Instances, and Savings Plans strategy (including RDS), balancing coverage against flexibility
- Build and maintain FinOps reporting, dashboards, and tooling that turn cloud billing data into actionable insight for engineering, finance, and leadership
- Improve forecasting accuracy and support budgeting, working closely with finance partners to make cloud spend predictable
- Identify and drive workload optimization and waste reduction, partnering with engineering teams on rightsizing, scheduling, and architecture opportunities
- Define and track cloud efficiency KPIs and embed cost-aware engineering into design and delivery
- Investigate cost anomalies and serve as the go-to expert for cloud cost questions across the organization
You will work in a hybrid model, with team members in the office four days per week. The company offers a public transport pass (Klimaticket), meal allowance, and support for professional development including FinOps Foundation certification.
Requirements:
- Several years of experience in a FinOps, Cloud Financial Management, or closely related cloud/technology finance role
- Solid understanding of public cloud architecture, preferably AWS, and how design decisions drive cost
- Hands-on experience with cloud cost management, including tagging governance, allocation, and commitment/discount instruments (Reserved Instances, Savings Plans)
- Strong analytical skills: able to interpret complex usage and billing data, spot patterns and anomalies, and recommend clear actions
- Experience with FinOps or BI tooling; scripting (e.g., Python) for reporting and automation is a plus
- Ability to communicate cost insight effectively to both technical and financial stakeholders and drive accountability across teams
