Play your part in our team succeeding The FinOps team is a core team for The LEGO Group, providing foundational capabilities for the entire organization.

We are closing the gap between engineering and finance, in a world where cost is consumption-based and ownership has shifted left to the engineers that spin up resources and make architectural choices. Our job is to provide a capability that can scale across many clouds and scopes without necessarily needing to grow the team we automate every repetitive task, bring the data where it needs to be used, and strive to use agents to automatically generate the code in the product teams repository to reduce their cognitive load an operational burden. We also promote the FinOps culture as part of the DevOps practices and work very close to engineering teams to make it a reality.

We are a very international team; our work language is English, and we use Agile methodologies in our work.
