About the role
You'll join a founding team building an AI-driven platform that stops cloud waste before it happens. FinOps isn't a reporting function here, it's baked into the product. This hire becomes the bar-setter and the opportunities are endless... VP of Engineering is on the horizon! This is a hands-on founding seat. You'll be in the console daily - building the cloud foundations, shipping into production, and sitting with customers in their environments to deploy and shape the product around how they actually work. Half engineering, half in front of the people who use what you build.
Responsibilities
•Building the cloud foundations
•Shipping into production
•Sitting with customers in their environments to deploy and shape the product around how they actually work

Requirements

•You're comfortable in front of customers - deploying in their environment, listening, and turning what you hear into product
•You want autonomy, ownership, and a product that's genuinely technically interesting
•You're excited by how AI is changing cloud engineering
Nice to have
•Real depth in one cloud with working range across the others
•You've built with AI - agents, automations, cost tooling, anything you've actually shipped
•Deep FinOps exposure (the certification's nice, the hands-on scars matter more)
Conditions
•Up to €95k per annum with pay rise of 10-20% in ~6 months + some serious founding equity
•Equity package worth ~€300k - real ownership in what you build
•Amsterdam Office
•Multi-Cloud - Azure, AWS, GCP
