About Wring

Wring helps companies pay less for AWS without changing a line of code. We pool our customers' spend to negotiate discounts none of them could get alone, find the credits programs they qualify for, and flag the waste sitting in their bill — all through read-only, billing-level access.

We don't charge a platform fee and we don't take a cut of what anyone saves. AWS pays us for the volume we bring and the billing complexity we absorb, which means we only do well when our customers keep saving and stay. It's a deliberately narrow business model, and it shapes how we build.

We're a small team. Everyone here talks to customers, and the distance between noticing a problem and shipping something about it is measured in days.

What you'll do

You'll go through customer AWS accounts and work out where the money is going — oversized instances, idle capacity, storage nobody has looked at since 2022, commitments that never got renewed. Then you'll turn that into recommendations specific enough to act on, and follow through until they're applied.

This is the role where our product meets reality. What you learn from doing this by hand is what tells the engineering team what to automate next.

Who you'll work with

Customers' platform and finance teams on one side, our engineers on the other. You'll be the reason a recommendation is trusted, and the reason the next one is better.

What you'll bring

• Hands-on AWS experience — you've run infrastructure, not just read about it
• A working understanding of EC2, RDS, S3 and the pricing models attached to each
• The patience to explain a bill to someone who finds it baffling, without being condescending about it

Nice to have

• FinOps certification, or experience in a cloud cost or platform engineering role

How we hire

A 30-minute call to swap context, a conversation with the people you'd work with, and one practical exercise based on something we've actually had to solve — paid, and never a take-home that eats your weekend. Three steps, usually inside two weeks. We reply to every application either way.
