Site Reliability Engineer, Cloud Cost Utilization

ABOUT THE ROLE We're seeking a Cloud Cost Utilization SRE to join our team at GitLab, where you'll play a critical role in making cloud spending visible, understandable, and actionable across our infrastructure. As a Cloud Cost Utilization SRE, you'll sit at the intersection of engineering and financial accountability, partnering with Engineering, Finance, and Product to improve how cloud usage is tracked, attributed, and optimized across GitLab. WHAT YOU'LL DO In this role, you'll design and maintain cloud resource tagging and labeling strategies across GCP and AWS to support accurate cost attribution. You'll develop tooling and pipelines to ingest, normalize, and report on cloud billing data using the FOCUS specification. Additionally, you'll automate cost anomaly detection, forecasting, and alerting so engineering teams can respond quickly to changes in infrastructure spend. You'll also contribute to GitLab's observability and monitoring stacks, including Prometheus, LGTM (Loki, Grafana, Tempo, and Mimir), and ELK, with a focus on surfacing cost efficiency signals. Other responsibilities will include partnering with Finance and Engineering leadership to support cloud cost forecasting for planning and budget discussions, acting as a subject matter expert for cloud cost attribution, tagging strategy, and FOCUS adoption, collaborating with Finance and Compliance teams on audits, certifications, and financial reporting needs related to cloud infrastructure usage, and contributing to infrastructure-as-code efforts, including Terraform and Ansible. WHAT YOU'LL NEED To be successful in this role, you'll need to have experience with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS and GCP. You should be familiar with cloud billing data and have experience with tooling and pipelines to ingest, normalize, and report on cloud billing data. Additionally, you should have experience with cost anomaly detection, forecasting, and alerting, as well as observability and monitoring stacks. Strong collaboration and communication skills are also essential, as you'll be working closely with cross-functional teams. WHY REMOTE At GitLab, we're an all-remote, asynchronous, and values-driven team. We believe in the power of collaboration and knowledge exchange, and we're committed to creating a culture where every voice is valued. As a Cloud Cost Utilization SRE, you'll have the opportunity to work with industry leaders and make a meaningful impact on how we develop software. We're looking for someone who is passionate about systems thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and building practical solutions. BENEFITS As a Cloud Cost Utilization SRE at GitLab, you'll receive a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as a 401(k) matching program. You'll also have access to a generous PTO policy, flexible work arrangements, and opportunities for professional growth and development.
