Shift FinOps Left: Proactively Find & Fix Cloud Cost Issues

Shift FinOps Left: Proactively Find & Fix Cloud Cost Issues

YC W21

About the Company

$600B is spent on cloud each year, but no one knows the cost until it's too late. We’re changing that.

Since launching Infracost in 2021, we’ve been pulled by engineers who all want to Shift FinOps Left. We enable them to proactively find and fix cloud cost issues before they hit production. We plug directly into developer workflows (like GitHub and Azure Repos), show cost impact in pull requests, enforce tagging and FinOps best practices, and even generate PRs to fix issues automatically.

We're backed by Sequoia, YC and trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises. You'll join a small, experienced, and supportive team that's shipping fast, solving real infrastructure problems, and having fun while doing it.

Whether you're an engineer tackling complex systems (e.g. parsing massive Terraform repos, scaling real-time systems), a product manager shaping strategy from real customer pain points, or a customer success lead working directly with users; there’s meaningful work here for you. If you care about cloud efficiency, great UX, and helping teams move faster and smarter, we’d love to work with you!

Tech Stack

Go, TypeScript, Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, AWS

Our recent technical challenges

  • Built the best-in-class Terraform static analysis engine. We needed a way we could parse massive Terraform mono-repos as quickly as possible, able to handle tens of thousands of module downloads, as well as gracefully handling incomplete data.
  • Scaled to support customers with thousands of GitHub organizations and tens of thousands of repositories. W’eve overhauled our APIs, interfaces, onboarding processes, infrastructure, and more.
  • Automatically fixing infrastructure issues. With infrastructure changes there's a lower tolerance for AI-generated slop - there's not the same safety nets in terms of testing and the risk is often higher. We've been iterating on our system that combines the AI-generated changes with our best-in-class static analysis engine to robustly open good-quality PRs to fix the most important issues for our customers.
