Senior Developer Advocate
Overview
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 company
Infracost is a FinOps platform that shifts cloud cost management left—embedding cost awareness, governance, and optimization directly into engineering workflows like GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps. By showing the cost impact of infrastructure code changes before deployment, Infracost transforms FinOps from a reactive, post-spend function into a proactive discipline that prevents expensive mistakes before they occur. Engineers gain pre-deployment visibility into cloud costs, receive real-time alerts that enforce budget guardrails, and benefit from automated policy enforcement that scales FinOps standards organization-wide. With features like AutoFix—which generates pull requests to resolve cost, tagging, and policy issues automatically—teams can address problems in seconds during code review rather than hours after deployment. For FinOps teams and managers, Infracost provides detailed reports highlighting non-compliant resources, outdated instance types, and tagging violations, pinpointing the exact lines of code to fix. Backed by Y Combinator, Sequoia, and SV Angel, Infracost empowers organizations to make cloud cost optimization part of the development process itself—delivering immediate feedback, consistent governance, and sustainable cost efficiency at scale.
