Job Description

About the Role
CloudZero is pioneering the next generation of FinOps intelligence by transforming how organizations understand and optimize their cloud spend. At the heart of this mission lies advisor.cloudzero.com, our AI-powered lead generation experience—and we’re looking for a Fullstack Engineer to join our Research Team and take ownership of it.

This role is ideal for an experienced fullstack engineer who thrives on autonomy, rapid iteration, and solving real user problems with elegant, modern tools. You’ll drive the evolution of our AI lead gen capabilities and build highly interactive, intelligent systems from the ground up. Your work will directly impact how users discover CloudZero and how we bring value from their very first click.

Why This Role Matters

  • Own the Product: Take ownership of advisor.cloudzero.com —our AI-powered lead gen platform—and evolve it into a sophisticated, personalized experience.

  • Ship Fast, Learn Fast: Operate in a high-trust environment where experimentation and fast iteration are encouraged.

  • Shape the Funnel: Your work will directly influence how users interact with CloudZero’s platform from the earliest stages.

  • AI at the Core: You’ll embed intelligent capabilities across the stack—from backend orchestration to dynamic front-end interfaces.

What You’ll Do

As a Fullstack Engineer on our Research Team, you will:

  • Lead Development: Architect, implement, and continuously improve advisor.cloudzero.com using modern fullstack technologies.

  • Frontend Craft: Build rich, interactive UIs using tools like React, Vite, Astro, and Tailwind—focused on performance and delight.

  • Backend Integration: Develop and maintain backend services using Python (FastAPI or similar) to orchestrate AI workflows, lead routing, and data collection.

  • AI Integration: Design and deploy AI-powered features that personalize the user journey, leveraging LLM APIs and retrieval-augmented techniques.

  • Serverless Stack: Work natively in AWS, using Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, S3, EventBridge, and other cloud-native technologies.

  • Collaborate: Work across product, marketing, and research teams to create a seamless experience from the first impression to qualified lead.

  • Experiment & Research: Prototype new ideas and evaluate how emerging AI capabilities (e.g., RAG, AWS Bedrock, vector search) can amplify growth funnels.

Requirements
We’re looking for a pragmatic builder who’s excited to own a critical product experience end-to-end. The ideal candidate will have:

  • Fullstack Mastery: Strong experience in both frontend (React, Vite, Astro, etc.) and backend (Python with FastAPI or similar) development.

  • AI Experience: Hands-on experience integrating AI features—especially LLM APIs and custom agents—into user-facing systems.

  • Cloud Native: Deep familiarity with serverless AWS technologies, including Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, CloudWatch, and EventBridge.

  • Product Sense: An intuitive grasp of user experience, funnel optimization, and experimentation.

  • Autonomy & Delivery: Proven ability to take initiative, prioritize effectively, and ship meaningful features with minimal oversight.

  • Strong Communication: Comfortable collaborating across disciplines and distilling technical ideas for non-technical stakeholders.

Nice to Haves

  • Experience with LLM ops tools like LangChain, CrewAI, or Bedrock Agents

  • Familiarity with A/B testing, analytics, and behavioral event tracking

  • Background in developer experience, DevTools, or marketing tech

  • Exposure to FinOps, cloud cost tooling, or cloud infrastructure (optional)

About CloudZero

Cloud cost management is one of the biggest challenges organizations face today. As cloud adoption continues to accelerate, so do the complexities and costs associated with it – and macroeconomic conditions only increase pressure to prove cloud efficiency. That’s why we built CloudZero: a SaaS platform at the intersection of next-generation cloud cost management and FinOps. CloudZero ingests billing and usage data from all cloud, SaaS, and PaaS providers, organizes it in real time according to our customers’ business structures, lets customers view it at any level of time or resource granularity, and ultimately empowers them to make more informed business decisions.

Since our founding in 2016, our mission has been to make efficient innovation a reality for every cloud-driven organization. At CloudZero, we believe every engineering decision is a buying decision, yet the cost conversation often bypasses the engineers who drive those determinations. To solve this, we’ve built a dynamic, single-page application that answers the complex, data-heavy questions every cloud-based organization needs to ask if they want to grow their company profitably.

To date, we’ve raised over $52 million from leading venture capital firms across the country. We’re solving problems of massive scale, business importance, and complexity in a space that needs it more than ever. We’re growing rapidly and would love for you to be a part of it.

Equal Opportunity Employer
CloudZero is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status or disability status. All job offers are contingent upon the candidate passing background and reference checks.

Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the United States. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
