Senior Software Engineer

Within the Nike Global Technology Team, the Cloud FinOps team develops products and provides services that enhance the understanding of cloud costs, drives cloud spend optimization, and maximizes the business value of the cloud.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for a senior-level Software Engineer with the skills to deliver and maintain product features for our internal cloud reporting solution. This valued team member will create backend automations to process and transform large amounts of cloud billing data across a multi-cloud ecosystem into usable reports and dashboards through API and UI interfaces. This engineer will actively partner with Product Management, colleagues in the Cloud Center of Excellence, and their Cloud FinOps teammates to prioritize backlogs and deliver maximum value and quality insights to over 1,500 internal customers.

Our preferred candidate is a team-player with a passion for learning, problem solving, and taking on challenges. They will have strong skills in developing automation to simplify end-to-end processes and remove manual workflows. Attention to detail, above average verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to collaborate with fellow engineers are must-have characteristics.

WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON

You will join a squad making a difference at Nike through the development, feature enhancement, and maintenance of enterprise-wide multi-cloud cost, usage, and metrics reporting products. You will participate in team/product planning sessions, share your ideas for our products and services, and help groom and prioritize our backlog.

WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH

You will report to the Director of Cloud FinOps and join a small but mighty squad of developers at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. You will partner with FinOps analysts, product managers, architects, Finance partners, and peer engineers to enhance the operational knowledge of customers from the C-Suite to front line engineers.

As part of the Nike Global Technology Engineering Community, you will have the opportunity to participate in community sessions, engineering forums, and social networks within Nike that foster career growth. Developing knowledge of cloud cost reporting and optimization will further your career no matter what the future holds.
