The team:
The Cloud Cost Optimization team works directly with the CTO and CFO, and is responsible for identifying and executing on cost-saving opportunities, providing engineering teams meaningful visibility into spend, and empowering finance to understand and incorporate the complexities of cloud costs.
The opportunity:

You'll be partnering with Engineering VPs to help correlate usage and spend and you'll work closely with Finance to build detailed cost modeling forecasts. You’ll work to track product margins, project spend for new cloud datacenters and initiatives, and deeply understand the financial growth of our cloud infrastructure. The Cloud Cost Optimization team is a relatively new group at Datadog, and you will help shape and grow the team to be effective as the company (and spend) grows.

- You have been tasked with providing a digestible financial view of a complex problem space before; and it’s the kind of problem you’re excited to tackle
