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.

The team is based in our new Copenhagen office and at the brand-new LEGO Campus in Billund. The work environment is exciting, inspiring, and flexible - and we like to have fun along the way!

We are looking for candidates with a few years of hands-on AWS and/or Azure cloud infrastructure experience and genuine curiosity about the intersection of engineering and finance.

To succeed in this role, we would like the right candidate to bring hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure). Building applications and automation using cloud native services and python with an understanding of how pricing models and architectural choices drive cost. Also, understanding the design, build and maintenance of ETL pipelines for large-scale datasets using Python and/or Spark.

Other nice-to-have skills would be:

• Building PowerBI reports and semantic models that surface actionable insights for business partners.
