AWS is expensive enough, and the pricing is hard enough, that you don't need a crazy scale before you have a team monitoring AWS expenses. It all depends on how much more revenue you'll get out of each engineer, but ignoring the most magical of companies, you probably want at least one person dedicated to this before you hit 200 engineers deploying to AWS.
And yes, a lot of the expense is invisible to the end user. Some well known companies end up spending significant percentages of their AWS budgets on building and running integration tests. Suddenly you also end up getting teams dedicated to improving just that.
