Staff Technical Program Manager - FinOps at Plaid

This role is for a seasoned professional with a decade of experience bridging the gap between infrastructure engineering and finance within a cloud-native or SaaS company. They want someone who understands modern cloud architecture well enough to critique an engineer's design choices while simultaneously managing complex financial forecasts and unit economics. **What makes it worth a look...** The compensation ceiling is exceptionally high, nearing $285k for a non-management role at a top-tier fintech. It is a rare chance to take total ownership of a company's cloud and AI spend strategy during a massive shift toward machine learning workloads. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Can write your own SQL to investigate billing anomalies without waiting for a data analyst. * Have direct experience rightsizing AWS or GCP environments and managing commitment strategies like RIs or Savings Plans. * Enjoy building intuitive dashboards in tools like Mode or Tableau that engineers actually want to use. * Can influence technical roadmaps to prioritize cost efficiency without slowing down development speed.
