(usa) Staff, Software Engineer

Walmart Walmart · Retail · Denver, CO

Staff Software Engineer focused on Cloud FinOps and Infrastructure Automation for multi-cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Azure). Responsibilities include cost optimization, infrastructure as code, automation, and security remediation, with a primary focus on FinOps leadership and hands-on engineering.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and implement automated FinOps solutions to optimize cloud spend across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
  2. Build and maintain cost allocation, tagging enforcement, and usage governance frameworks across multiple clouds.
  3. Develop automation for savings analysis, rightsizing, idle resource detection, and anomaly identification across providers.
  4. Support and execute cloud migration initiatives from AWS to GCP and Azure, including workload analysis, readiness assessment, migration planning, and post-migration optimization.
  5. Build and maintain scalable Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Terragrunt across multiple cloud providers.
