With 465 billion automated optimizations per second, the AI-powered StackAdapt Marketing Platform seamlessly connects brand and performance marketing to drive measurable results across the entire customer journey. The most forward-thinking marketers choose StackAdapt to orchestrate high-impact campaigns across programmatic advertising and marketing channels.

We are looking for a Staff Infrastructure Engineer, Cost Optimization to help shape how we manage, forecast, and optimize infrastructure investments across our engineering organization.

This is a high-impact individual contributor role at the intersection of infrastructure engineering, product, and finance. You'll work to understand where infrastructure costs originate, how they scale with product usage, and how engineering decisions influence broader business outcomes.

You'll build the systems, tooling, and data models needed to make infrastructure spending more transparent, predictable, and actionable. Beyond identifying opportunities for cost optimization, you'll help establish the forecasting models, unit economics, and infrastructure cost insights that inform capacity planning, product pricing, and long-term business decisions.

We're looking for someone with a strong infrastructure engineering background who has experience thinking beyond the technology itself. You understand how infrastructure supports products, how costs scale, and how to translate technical insights into meaningful business decisions.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and evolve internal tooling, dashboards, and reporting systems to improve visibility into infrastructure and engineering-related costs.
  • Analyze and optimize cloud infrastructure and engineering-owned vendor spending, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and scalability.
  • Develop cost attribution and unit-cost models that connect infrastructure consumption to services, products, and business usage.
  • Partner with product and engineering teams to understand how infrastructure architecture, usage patterns, and technical decisions impact costs and product economics.
  • Collaborate with finance to develop infrastructure cost forecasts, financial models, and reliable data inputs that support budgeting and long-term planning.
  • Provide infrastructure cost insights that help inform product pricing decisions and broader business strategy.
  • Establish meaningful infrastructure cost KPIs, reporting processes, and governance practices to improve financial accountability.
  • Support infrastructure vendor management, including cost analysis, utilization, contract renewals, and optimization opportunities.
  • Drive cost-conscious engineering practices across teams while balancing performance, reliability, scalability, and business needs.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong background in infrastructure, platform, or cloud engineering, with experience owning or influencing infrastructure strategy and technical decisions.
  • Deep understanding of AWS or comparable cloud environments, including infrastructure architecture, resource utilization, and cost drivers.
  • Experience analyzing infrastructure costs, identifying optimization opportunities, and understanding the financial implications of technical decisions.
  • Understanding of how infrastructure consumption translates into unit costs, product economics, and broader business outcomes.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, product, finance, or business stakeholders.
  • Exposure to infrastructure budgeting, forecasting, cost modeling, or capacity planning.
  • Strong analytical skills and experience building tools, dashboards, or data models to support technical and business decisions.
  • Ability to take ownership of complex initiatives, influence stakeholders, and communicate effectively across technical and nontechnical audiences.

Nice to Have

  • Experience working at a growing technology company where you've owned responsibilities spanning infrastructure, product, and business operations.
  • Experience developing infrastructure unit economics or contributing to product pricing decisions.
  • Familiarity with FinOps principles, cloud cost management, or infrastructure financial planning.
  • Experience with showback, chargeback, or cost attribution frameworks.
  • Experience with CloudZero, Apptio, CloudHealth, or similar cost management platforms.
  • Experience managing engineering vendors, infrastructure partnerships, or procurement processes.
  • Previous experience building a new engineering capability, internal platform, or operational process from the ground up.
