Job description

ABOUT POINTFIVE PointFive finds the cost buried inside enterprise infrastructure, from the cloud to coding agents. We pioneered DeepWaste across cloud and data platforms, and we are now doing the same for AI token spend with TokenShift. Fanatics, H&M, Hertz, Nubank, Citizens Bank and other Fortune 500 companies use PointFive to see and cut what their infrastructure and AI actually cost. We have raised $96 million, most recently a $60 million Series B led by Accel pointfive.co. Engineering sits in Tel Aviv and our go-to-market team is focused on North America. PointFive Labs, our research arm, publishes original work on how infrastructure and AI actually get paid for. CRN named us one of the 10 hottest cloud computing startups of 2026 crn.com, Forbes Israel put us on its Next Billion Dollar Startups list forbes.co.il, and Redpoint selected us for its InfraRed 100 pointfive.co, its ranking of the private companies shaping the future of cloud infrastructure.
