AI TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) Calculator Developer

Overview

We are seeking a highly analytical and technically proficient AI TCO Calculator Developer to design, build, and maintain advanced financial modeling tools that quantify the total cost of ownership (TCO) and return on investment (ROI) for AI initiatives.

This role will partner closely with business stakeholders, finance, engineering, and go-to-market teams to create scalable, data-driven calculators that support enterprise decision-making, sales enablement, and strategic planning around AI adoption.

Key Responsibilities

TCO & Financial Modeling - Must have experience

Design and develop dynamic AI TCO and ROI calculators for enterprise use cases (e.g., GenAI, ML platforms, data infrastructure).

Model cost components including:

  • Infrastructure (cloud, GPU, storage, networking)

  • Software licensing and tooling

  • Data pipeline and preparation costs

  • Labor (engineering, MLOps, operations)

  • Ongoing maintenance and scaling costs

Build scenario-based models (e.g., on-prem vs cloud, build vs buy, different model architectures

AI & Infrastructure Cost Analysis

Quantify costs associated with:

  • Model training vs inference

  • GPU/accelerator utilization

  • Data storage and movement

  • Latency, throughput, and scaling requirements

Incorporate vendor pricing models (AWS, Azure, GCP, NVIDIA GPU clusters, etc.)

Tool & Application Development

Build user-friendly tools using:
  • Excel (advanced), Python, or web-based applications (React, Streamlit, etc.)

Create interactive dashboards and calculators for:

  • Sales teams (pre-sales ROI tools)

  • Executives (investment justification)

  • Technical teams (architecture tradeoffs)

Data Integration & Automation

  • Integrate real-time or semi-static pricing data from cloud providers

  • Automate updates to cost assumptions and benchmarks

  • Ensure calculators remain current with evolving AI cost structures

Stakeholder Collaboration

Partner with:

  • Sales and solution architects to align models to client use cases

  • Finance teams for validation of cost assumptions

  • Engineering teams for technical accuracy

Translate complex technical and financial concepts into clear, executive-friendly outputs

Documentation & Enablement

  • Document methodologies, assumptions, and calculation logic

  • Train internal teams on how to use and position the calculators

  • Create supporting materials (guides, presentations, client-facing outputs)

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in financial modeling, analytics, or engineering-focused cost modeling.

  • Strong experience building TCO/ROI models (technology or cloud preferred)

  • Proficiency in one or more:-Excel (advanced modeling), Python (pandas, NumPy), Web app frameworks (e.g., Streamlit, Flask, React)Solid understanding of:Cloud pricing models (AWS, Azure, GCP), AI/ML lifecycle (training, inference, deployment)Experience translating technical architecture into cost models.Strong communication skills with ability to present to executive audiences.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with AI/ML platforms and infrastructure (e.g., GPU clusters, Kubernetes).

  • Familiarity with LLMs, GenAI workloads, and model serving architectures.

  • Experience in consulting, pre-sales engineering, or solution architecture.

  • Knowledge of FinOps practices and cloud cost optimization.

  • Experience building client-facing tools or sales enablement assets.

Key Deliverables

  • Enterprise-grade AI TCO calculators (Excel and/or web-based).

  • Scenario comparison tools (build vs buy, cloud vs on-prem, model selection)

  • Executive-ready outputs (dashboards, summaries, ROI visuals).

  • Documentation and training materials for internal teams.
