Full Job Description
Box's FinOps team provides visibility into cost and usage across public cloud, SaaS, and AI - equipping finance and executive leadership with the insights needed to make informed decisions, including those tied to earnings communications. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you will own the design and development of the systems behind this critical work.
You will join a cross-functional team of software engineers, data engineers, site reliability engineers, and data scientists, reporting to a Senior Engineering Manager. This is a technical leadership position that blends hands-on engineering with broader organizational influence - building and operating forecasting, monitoring, and alerting systems while helping advance how engineering teams across Cloud Operations develop software.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Own the forecasting, monitoring, and alerting systems for cloud, SaaS, and AI cost and usage, including goals, design, delivery planning, and outcomes.
• Build and maintain the full technology stack, including data pipelines, processing engines, backend services, APIs, and frontend applications.
• Design scalable systems that integrate cleanly with others, evaluating trade-offs as complexity grows.
• Establish and publish engineering practices for design review, testing, code review, documentation, and release processes, and coach engineers until those practices are consistently adopted.
• Trace cost and usage anomalies to their root cause and communicate findings - including relevant trade-offs - to engineering partners, finance, and executive leadership.
• Use AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity, and review all output before it reaches a forecast, dashboard, or shared practice.
• Participate in our on-call rotation, available at all times while on-call to help respond to and triage any issues that arise.

• You have demonstrated end-to-end ownership of a component, from design and implementation through testing and production operation.
