Full job description

Keyloop bridges the gap between dealers, manufacturers, technology suppliers and car buyers.

We empower car dealers and manufacturers to fully embrace digital transformation. How? By creating innovative technology that makes selling cars better for our customers, and buying and owning cars better for theirs.

We use cutting-edge technology to link our clients’ systems, departments and sites. We provide an open technology platform that’s shaping the industry for the future. We use data to help clients become more efficient, increase profitability and give more customers an amazing experience. Want to be part of it?

Role Overview

Keyloop is looking for a commercially minded and technically grounded FinOps Engineer to join our Cloud Operations team. Operating within the FinOps Foundation framework (Inform Optimise Operate), you will be the go-to expert for cloud cost intelligence across Keyloop's multi-account AWS estate.

You will work autonomously to identify cost drivers, surface savings opportunities, and translate complex cloud spend data into clear, actionable insight for senior management, engineering squads, and a network of embedded FinOps Champions. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role at the intersection of finance, engineering, and product delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Cost Visibility & Reporting
- Analyse AWS spend across multiple accounts, identifying cost drivers and mapping them to products, portfolios, and engineering teams.
- Produce regular, accurate cost reports for senior management, clearly articulating budget impact, variance, and trend analysis.
- Maintain and improve tagging hygiene and allocation models to ensure costs are attributed correctly and consistently.
- Track and report the status of active savings initiatives and projects, providing a clear view of projected vs. realised savings.
AWS Cost Optimisation
- Lead and execute optimisation initiatives across the AWS estate, with deep practical knowledge of:
- EC2 and EBS rightsizing — matching instance types and storage configurations to actual workload patterns, including gp2-to-gp3 migrations and IOPS/throughput tuning.
- Scheduling and auto-scaling — eliminating 24/7 on-demand running for non-production workloads.
- Commitment-based savings — managing Reserved Instances (Standard and Convertible), Compute and EC2 Savings Plans, including coverage and utilisation tracking.
- Data transfer cost reduction — identifying and remediating avoidable inter-AZ, internet egress, and NAT Gateway charges.
- Storage and snapshot lifecycle — enforcing retention policies and tiering to reduce EBS, S3, and snapshot costs.
- Understand and advise on AWS commercial programmes, including MAP (Migration Acceleration Programme), PPAs (Private Pricing Agreements), and EDP (Enterprise Discount Programme) to maximise negotiated savings.
Stakeholder Enablement & FinOps Culture
- Act as a trusted advisor to engineering and product teams, helping them identify cost 'hot spots', understand the drivers behind their spend, and develop a sense of ownership over cloud costs.
- Support and coordinate a network of FinOps Champions embedded across product and portfolio areas — providing them with tooling, education, data, and frameworks to drive cost accountability locally.
- Produce self-service dashboards and cost reporting assets that allow teams to monitor their own spend without requiring FinOps intervention for every query.
- Communicate cost findings and recommendations clearly and concisely in both written and verbal formats, tailored to a non-technical or management audience where appropriate.
Governance & Autonomy
- Proactively review cloud spend and independently develop proposals for cost reduction and control initiatives — not waiting to be asked.
- Maintain initiative trackers and savings registers, providing accurate status updates to management on in-flight projects across multiple AWS accounts and product areas.
- Contribute to FinOps policies, standards, and best practice documentation to scale knowledge across the organisation.

Skillsets:

Essential
- 3–6 years of hands-on FinOps, cloud cost management, or cloud operations experience, with a strong focus on AWS.
- Proven ability to independently investigate AWS cost drivers and produce clear, management-ready reports with business context.
- Deep practical knowledge of AWS cost optimisation levers: EC2 rightsizing, EBS (including gp3 IOPS/throughput tuning), scheduling, Savings Plans, and Reserved Instances.
- Solid understanding of AWS data transfer pricing models and strategies to reduce inter-AZ, internet egress, and NAT Gateway costs.
- Experience managing or tracking savings initiatives across multiple AWS accounts or teams simultaneously.
- Familiarity with AWS native cost tooling: Cost Explorer, Cost and Usage Reports (CUR), AWS Budgets, and Trusted Advisor.
- Strong communication skills — able to translate technical findings into business language for a senior management audience.
- Demonstrated ability to work autonomously, prioritise competing demands, and deliver without close supervision.
Highly Desirable
- Experience with AWS commercial programmes: MAP, PPA, and/or EDP, including modelling commitments and tracking credit utilisation.
- Experience supporting or coaching engineering teams with limited cloud cost knowledge — building capability, not just delivering reports.
- Familiarity with third-party FinOps platforms (e.g. CloudHealth, Apptio Cloudability, AWS Cost Intelligence Dashboard).
- FinOps Certified Practitioner (FOCP) certification from the FinOps Foundation, or active progress towards it.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform, CloudFormation) sufficient to understand resource configurations and their cost implications.
- SQL or Python scripting for CUR data analysis and custom reporting.
