About PointFive
PointFive is the AI Efficiency OS. From the cloud to the coding agent, we're the only platform that manages AI spend everywhere it happens.
Engineering and FinOps teams use PointFive to make their organizations more efficient and their cloud and AI more effective. We don't just show what you spend. We show what you're wasting, and we fix it autonomously. NuBank saw ROI in 10 days. Customers average 1,200%+ ROI and a 4.9 rating on G2.
Founded by the team behind IntSights (acquired by Rapid7), PointFive recently closed a $60M Series B led by Accel, with participation from Entrée Capital and Salesforce Ventures.
As a Cloud Efficiency Architect, you'll work directly with PointFive's largest enterprise customers on strategic cost and efficiency engagements, owning the strategic relationship for a portfolio of accounts based mainly in NAM. You'll also build our professional services offering from the ground up, shaping what we sell, how it's packaged, and how it's delivered, and running the first engagements yourself before scaling them with software, automation, and a team. Beyond the customer work, you'll help shape our product roadmap and represent PointFive as a trusted voice in the Cloud & AI Efficiency industry, including in AI and token spend management, where the playbooks are still being written.
