Every engineering decision has a financial story behind it. You're the person who helps tell it. You don't just build forecasts. You build understanding. You're naturally curious and enjoy digging into complex problems until the data tells you what's really happening. Whether it's cloud infrastructure costs, engineering capacity, vendor spend, headcount planning, or product investments, you know how to connect operational decisions back to business outcomes. You thrive in environments where ambiguity exists, assumptions are challenged, and Finance is expected to be a strategic thought partner, not just a reporting function. Most importantly, you're comfortable sitting across from highly technical leaders, speaking their language, and helping them make smarter investment decisions. If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place. At Expel, you'll serve as the Finance business partner supporting Engineering, Product, Detection & Response, the SOC, and our broader G&A functions. You'll help shape how we invest, scale, and operate while partnering directly with leaders responsible for building and supporting the products our customers rely on every day.
