What you'll doAs the Lead Assignment Engine Data Engineer, you will lead the data engineering design for an explainable, configurable engine that converts normalized cloud and operational data into actionable cost attribution. You will define how shared pools such as observability, storage, networking, SQL, and data platforms are assigned to the products and services that consume them. You will operate at the boundary of data engineering, FinOps, Finance, and platform architecture. The role requires strong technical judgment, the ability to turn ambiguous allocation questions into durable data products, and the leadership to establish patterns that other engineers can extend.
This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the Senior Director, Engineering.
Responsibility- Build batch and/or streaming pipelines for Azure and GCP billing data, with an architecture that can extend to additional cloud providers
- Normalize provider-specific billing and usage data into a consistent, FOCUS-aligned model
- Ingest and join resource inventory, tagging, ownership, product, service, and environment metadata
- Implement reconciliation checks between source billing systems, the normalized warehouse, and downstream reporting datasets
- Establish data contracts, schemas, lineage, freshness checks, completeness checks, and failure-handling patterns
- Create reusable transformations that support executive dashboards, product-level cost views, burn-rate reporting, and anomaly detection
- Build operational visibility for pipeline health, including freshness, latency, volume, schema drift, and failed-record monitoring
- Partner with platform, FinOps, Finance, and service-owning teams to resolve data-quality gaps and improve attribution coverage
- Document pipeline behavior, ownership, runbooks, recovery procedures, and known data limitations
- Improve automation, test coverage, deployment safety, and cost efficiency of the data platform
- Build or integrate event-driven ingestion patterns so new Cost Management exports trigger processing without manual refreshes
- Participate in on-call rotations and contribute to improving system reliability and incident response
- Support Microsoft Fabric, Data Lake, Data Factory, and KQL-based consumption patterns where they fit the target architecture
