Bangalore, India
Our take: The real work here is turning raw Google Cloud billing and usage data into pipelines, attribution models, and tools that let teams see and manage what they spend, as the founding engineer of a new capability.
If you love being the first engineer on a problem, turning messy cloud billing data into pipelines and tools that real people act on, this is a blank page with your name on it. You will set the architecture, choose the data models, and build foundations a growing team will extend, all from wherever you work best. It suits someone who ships end to end, thinks in milestones, and enjoys making expensive guesswork visible and manageable.
