Do you want to help drive efficient, profitable, and cost-effective cloud infrastructure at Yelp? As a Site Reliability Engineer on the Cloud Economics team, you will play a key role in Yelp’s overall cloud cost management.

You will build tools to generate reports and monitor cost anomalies to help Product and Engineering teams discover cost optimization opportunities, and to promote FinOps practices in order to maximize the value from our infrastructure investments.

Without the Cloud Economics team, Yelp could not ensure accurate attribution nor communicate the return on investment (ROI) of our cloud expenses.

The Cloud Economics team works in both the dev and systems worlds, implementing key strategies and tools within the core architecture.

Our Cloud FinOps practices benefit and support Engineering, Product, and Finance at Yelp. We get to solve interesting challenges that you can only find at the kind of scale that serves over 100 million users per month.

• Develop custom tools when off-the-shelf solutions don’t work at our scale, and contribute upstream to open source projects.
• Prepare monthly cloud cost analyses and reports for Yelp’s Finance and Accounting teams.
• Leverage CloudHealth and / or AWS Cost Explorer to make cost optimization recommendations.
• Automate everything with Python, Puppet, Git, Jenkins, and Terraform.
• Foster and build a fun, diverse, and inclusive culture that reflects Yelp’s values.

What it takes to succeed :

• Ideally 3+ work experience, or an equivalent educational background Command of your favorite modern programming language : Python, Ruby, Go, Rust, Java, Javascript, C++, etc.

• Strong software development, scripting and automation skills.
• Solid mathematical and data analytics skills.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.

What you'll get :

• Compensation range is $97,000-230,000 annually. Depending on your role and level, you may also be offered a bonus, restricted stock units, and benefits.
