We have over $5 billion dollars of cloud spend under management and serve sophisticated teams like Coinbase, Canva, SeatGeek, and TD Synnex.

Our mission is to remove complexity and deliver savings outcomes so every business can prosper in the cloud. We're a fully remote team, so 100% of our roles are open to applicants anywhere in the region in which the role is advertised.

• Collaborate with our Sales and Customer Operations teams to answer platform questions and demystify cloud rate optimization strategies.
• Team up with our Product Team to brainstorm and build innovative optimization services that help customers save even more.
• Scope and configure Savings Analyses to tailor insights to each customer's unique cloud footprint.
• Contribute to feature development and automation efforts that enhance Savings Analysis reports and other key tools.
