FinOps Private Cloud Infrastructure Architect

The FinOps Private Cloud Infrastructure Architect leads the end-to-end architecture, metering, and operational governance for private cloud infrastructure supporting LLM and agentic AI workloads, including GPU and accelerated compute platforms.
This role is accountable for ensuring accurate internal cloud usage metering, cost transparency, observability, and retention governance across a hybrid data center environment. The architect owns the Platform API Inventory and Collection Interval Validation Matrix across the AI ecosystem, ensuring all required telemetry is inventoried, validated, and collected at correct intervals to meet FinOps, security, reliability, auditability, and regulatory requirements.
The role also brings hands-on FinOps experience within a large financial organization and owns the per platform telemetry retention audit—a critical enabler for resilience, recovery, and warm-up operational readiness following incidents, maintenance, patching, or disaster recovery events.
