About North
The public cloud is home to $200B+ in annual technology spend, yet 95% of it is still managed with credit cards and spreadsheets. With the AI boom set to turbocharge cloud spend to over $1T by 2030, businesses need better financial controls to navigate, optimize, and scale their cloud investments.
That’s why we built North—the cloud finance operating system. North helps companies gain clarity, control, and automation over their cloud finances, ensuring they maximize efficiency and reduce waste in an era of exponential cloud growth.
Backed by top-tier investors and trusted by leading global customers, we’re assembling a world-class team to redefine how businesses manage cloud spend. If you’re looking for impact, growth, and the opportunity to shape the future of cloud finance, North is the place to be.

- Strong negotiation skills and experience structuring customized commercial agreements.
- Exceptional communication and presentation abilities, with the ability to engage both technical and executive-level stakeholders.
- A self-starter mindset—you thrive in fast-paced environments, love problem-solving, and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves.
- A passion for AI, cloud infrastructure, and the future of cloud financial operations.
